Note: Data Mode/ARRIRAW requires an ARRIRAW T-Link certified recorder or a system capable of recording

uncompressed, SMPTE 372M-compliant RGBA HD-SDI signals. For more information see chapter 15: Appendix.

Note: Mscope requires a recorder capable of dual stream HD recording - i.e. two

simultaneous 1920 x 1080 4:2:2 YCbCr HD video streams.

Note: Wiring instructions for all HD-SDI modes can be found in chapter 8: Signal Connections.
