Transfer Configurations
This is one of many possible transfer configuration. For applying LUTS/LOOKS, and for playback at top
performance, a MyBook Studio RAID should be used in a RAID 5 fashion for making a simultaneous
backup. You can do the same setup with USB 3.0, Firewire, or Fiber/SCS RAIDS.
Example: Data can be transferred using a Mac Mini or Laptop via Thunderbolt, Firewire 800 or USB 3.0
to an external RAID (Pegasus Promise RAID shown) configured as a RAID 0. This can be used for live
playback creating LOOK files or applying LUTs, as well as confidence monitoring of footage. We suggest
having a secondary drive (Western Digital MyBook Studio shown, configured as a RAID 5 redundant),
which can then make two simultaneous copies of the footage, for deliverables and archive.
Accessing & Using the SSD on A Computer
Versions 1.1.2, 1.2.110, and 1.3.105:
SSD's used with the Gemini will report as entirely full (0 MB free) on a computer, as the Gemini
reserves the entire SSD for video only, and prevents the computer from writing to this area. Thus the
Gemini video area on the SSD is essentially read-only on a computer).
