Setup
If you have more than one HyperDeck Extreme, you may wish to give each unit a discrete name
to make them easy to identify. You can do this by entering a new name into the name field
and clicking the 'set' button. It's worth noting that changing the name of the HyperDeck will
invalidate any digital certificates in use, so it's worth changing the name before generating a
certificate signing request or self signed certificate.
Identify HyperDeck
Clicking the checkbox will make the remote button on the front of your HyperDeck Extreme
flash. This can be useful when you have more than one HyperDeck Extreme and you want to
identify which one you are connected to via the HyperDeck Setup utility.
Date and Time
Set your date and time automatically by ticking the box. When setting the date and time
automatically, your HyperDeck Extreme will use the network time protocol server set in the
NTP field. The default NTP server is time.cloudflare.com, but you can also manually enter
an alternate NTP server and then click on 'set'.
If you are entering your date and time manually, use the fields to enter your date, time and time
zone. Setting the date and time correctly ensures your recordings have the same time and
date information as your network and also prevents conflicts that can occur with some network
storage systems.
Network Settings
Protocol
To use your HyperDeck Extreme with ATEM switchers, or to control it remotely via HyperDeck
Ethernet Protocol, the HyperDeck Extreme needs be on the same network as your other
equipment using DHCP or by manually adding a fixed IP address.
