When you generate a .csr you will also be creating a public key and private key at the same
time. The public key will be included with the signing request while the private key will remain
with the unit. Once the CA or IT department have verified the information in the CSR with your
organization, they will generate a signed certificate with the above details along with your
public key.
Once imported, the HyperDeck Extreme will use the public and private key to confirm the
identity of the HyperDeck and to encrypt and decrypt data share via HTTPS or via HyperDeck
Ethernet Protocol when using an SSL program.
Importing a signed certificate:
1
Click on 'import signed certificate'.
2
Navigate to the location of the signed certificate using the file browser and once the file is
selected click on 'open'.
The domain, issuer and valid until fields will update with the information from your CA.
Generally, a signed certificate will be valid for about a year so the process will need to be
repeated as you reach the expiration date.
Since a domain name was selected, you will need to speak to your IT department about
resolving the DNS entry for the HyperDeck Extreme unit. This will point all traffic for the IP
address of the HyperDeck Extreme to the selected domain address in the signing request.
This will also be the HTTPS address you use to access files via the web media manager,
for example https://hyperdeckextreme.melbourne
It's worth noting that the certificate will be invalidated following a factory reset and a new
certificate will need to be generated and signed.
File Settings
When first set up, your HyperDeck Extreme will record clips using 'HyperDeck' as the prefix.
Type in a new filename to change the prefix.
The timestamp added to the filename is turned off by default. If you would like the date and
time recorded in your filename, switch it to on. Filename prefix and timestamp settings are also
available via the touchscreen menu on HyperDeck Extreme HDR.
