
Dual Link Video – Reversed Cable Protection
For Dual-Link inputs: if the inputs are reversed (Link A into Port B and Link B to Port A),
recording will now be blocked and a message displayed alerting the user to the problem.
This prevents the unit from recording when the input video is not valid, since the inputs
were reversed.

Video Input Integrity Checks
The Video Input is now checked more closely for data integrity (via CRC checking). If data
errors are occurring on the incoming video (due, for example, to a faulty cable),
the user will be notified via a message displayed on the LCD screen.

Power Source Validation
If the Gemini 4:4:4 does not start recording, due to an inadequate power source,
the Gemini 4:4:4 will shut down, and on subsequent power up, will display a message
alerting the user of insufficient power. Be sure to provide sufficient power to the Gemini
4:4:4!

To display these, just tap the SSD Info Icon on the upper left area of the Gemini
4:4:4 monitor. You may also tap the graphical display to bring up a Status Box with
more specific information about each SSD.

The regulated ALEXA 12 Volt Power Output (the 2-Pin Connector) is not adequate
for powering the Gemini 4:4:4 and any other device simultaneously.
This power source is adequate for powering the Gemini 4:4:4 by itself, but not
two devices.

Powering the Gemini 4:4:4 and a separate monitor will not work, will cause your
recordings to fail, and may damage your SSD's. This is not an approved
procedure.

The same applies to powering the Gemini 4:4:4 and lens control motors from the
ALEXA 12 Volt outputs, either the 2-Pin Lemo/Fischer or the Ext. connector.
