Date and Time

You can set your Blackmagic Cloud Store’s date and time automatically using network time protocol.

To set the date and time automatically using network time protocol select the checkbox.

Thiswill use the default Google NTP server, but you can also set it manually.

To set the date and time manually, deselect the checkbox and use the contextual menus.

Clicking the location icon will automatically set the time zone to match your computer’s.

Network Settings

Blackmagic Cloud Store can connect to the network using a static IP address or by using DHCP.

DHCP will automatically set an IP address for your cloud store and connect to the network

without the need to change any settings.

The dynamic host configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers and routers

that automatically finds your Blackmagic Cloud Store and assigns an IP address. DHCP makes

iteasy to connect equipment via Ethernet and make sure that IP addresses do not conflict with

each other. Most computers and network switches support DHCP.

Select static IP if you want to set the IP address yourself, simply set the protocol setting to

‘staticIP’ and change the IP settings manually. A static IP address is one that won’t change even

if your Blackmagic Cloud Store is rebooted.

Using a static IP address might be necessary if you are connecting to a corporate network.

Ifyou have a network administrator, it’s possible your network might have custom IP addresses

for all the equipment connected to it. It’s best to check with your network administrator if they

are managing your computers and network in your company.

Allow utility administration

Enabling the ‘via USB’ setting removes the risk of anyone on the network making accidental

settings changes by limiting control to the computer the unit is connected to via USB.

Cloud Sync

Use the cloud sync settings to add

syncs and set how the Proxy Generator

application syncs proxy files. The

Proxy Generator application is installed

when you install the Blackmagic Cloud

Store software.

Media Files

These two radio buttons let you decide

whether to sync both proxy and original

files, or to only sync proxy files.

For more information refer to the ‘Proxy

Generator’ section in this manual.

Cloud Services

Use the cloud services pane to sign into

Dropbox and add Dropbox syncs.
