Performance
The Gemini 4:4:4 SSD's can Perform up to 400MBps. Keep in mind you will be
limited by the slowest median in the transfer process. For example: eSATA
3Gbps cards have a max performance of ~270MBps, and eSATA 1.5Gbps have a
max performance of ~130MBps.
Typical Hard Drives (Non-Raid) generally perform anywhere in the range of 80-
130MBps. For maximum performance, make sure you are using eSATA 6 Gbps
to a Raid configuration.
File Support
The Gemini 4:4:4 recorder accepts inputs from both HD-SDI 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 cameras.
4:4:4 Cameras currently must have HD-SDI Dual Link. HD-SDI 3G will be supported in a
future firmware release.
All DPX 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.
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.
