WARNING: Take care of your Cinedeck EXTREME as you would your cameras or other electronic equipment. Take care especially to keep water and moisture away from the unit. Getting your Cinedeck EXTREME wet will void the warranty. WARNING: The Cinedeck EXTREME needs ventilation for safe operation. DO NOT block the fan at the rear of the unit. DO NOT lay the unit down on its back, thereby blocking the fan. Blocking the fan will damage the unit, causing it to overheat, and it will void the warranty.
POWERING UP LOADING THE SSD MEDIA We recommend powering up your Cinedeck EXTREME via the AC adapter the first time. Confirm that your AC Adapter is set to 19 Volts. Then connect the AC adapter to the LEMO connector which connects to the Cinedeck EXTREME. On the i/o panel on the right side of the Cinedeck EXTREME, you will see the slot for the SSD media. Slide the SSD into the slot with the SSD connectors facing towards you.
camera sync & setup (setup screen) After booting up, the Cinedeck EXTREME will load the main (RECORD) screen. Locate and tap the setup button on the lower right of the touchscreen. This launches the Cinedeck SETUP screen, shown below. Be sure your camera is connected to the Cinedeck EXTREME and is sending a signal to the appropriate output. Verify the resolution and framerate of the signal in order to sync the camera with the Cinedeck EXTREME and record. Video at www.cinedeck.
PLAYBACK TOOLS (PLAYBACK SCREEN) When you enter the PLAYBACK screen the most recent take recorded is cued for review. Display of current project and filename, in the format: scene_takenumber.ext Tap to configure project or scene names or to load an alternate take into PLAYBACK. Display of current take’s resolution, colorspace, framerate, and codec, including bitrates. In playback mode these options are not configurable.
SETTING UP NEW SSD MEDIA FOR USE WITH THE CINEDECK EXTREME SSD media purchased from any other vendor must be prepared before use with the Cinedeck EXTREME to disable write caching on the device and to format it using the correct file system. All data on the SSD will be lost in preparation for use with the Cinedeck EXTREME. Perform these functions on the Cinedeck EXTREME itself, rather than attempting to perform them on a computer; this is necessary to ensure proper functionality.
