Usb-C Flash Disks - Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera 6K Installation

NOTE Before you can record clips, you will need to format the CFexpress card. You
can find information on how to format media in the next few sections of the manual.
Choosing a CFexpress Card
When working with high data rate video it's important to carefully check the CFexpress card
that you would like to use. This is because CFexpress cards have different read and write
speeds. For the most up to date information on supported CFexpress Type B cards on
Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, please refer to the Blackmagic Design support center at

USB-C flash disks

Your camera's high speed USB-C expansion port lets you record video directly to USB-C flash
disks. These fast, high capacity drives allow you to record video for long periods, which can be
important when filming events with long durations.
Once you have finished recording you can connect the same drive directly to your computer for
editing and post production, without having to copy media across.
To connect to a USB-C flash disk:
1 Connect one end of a USB-C cable to your USB-C flash disk.
2 Open the rubber protector on the left side of the camera and connect the other end of the
cable to the USB-C port.
NOTE When a USB-C flash disk is connected to your camera, it occupies the second
storage slot in your camera's operating system.
Choosing a fast USB-C flash disk
USB-C flash disks are designed to offer fast, affordable storage for a wide range of devices and
are readily available from a variety of consumer electronics outlets. It's important to note that
film making is only one part of the USB-C flash disk market, so choosing the best drive is vital to
making sure you have enough speed to record 6K and 4K footage.
