File Support

The Gemini 4:4:4 recorder accepts inputs from both HD-SDI 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 cameras.
To record 4:4:4, you can use HD-SDI Dual Link 1.5G or Single Link 3G (up to 1080p30). 1080p50/60
requires Dual 3G.
Note: All ARRIRAW 4:3, and 16:9 p48-60, require Dual 3G SDI.
Note: All Canon Cinema Raw formats, as well as 2K formats, only require a Single 3G SDI.
All DPX, ARRIRAW, and Canon Cinema Raw files are recorded so that each frame of video is a single
file, with all frames from a single recording being contained within a single file folder, including a
.xml metadata and .wav audio file for each take.
All Files Recorded by the Gemini 4:4:4 are recorded as 4:4:4 10 Bit RGB DPX Files,
as this is the industry standard.
Thus, each time you start and stop a recording it will create a new file folder,
which takes the name of the Clip, as setup via a menu item in the Gemini 4:4:4:
All clips reside in a }CLIPS{ folder on the Solid State Drive (SSD).
1080p59.94/60 DPX, 3D DPX 1080p29.97/30, 12-Bit DPX (from C500, at all frame rates)
