Note: When in Slow/Fast mode, the C500 does not record internally, and therefore does not provide a
clip-name to the Gemini Recorder during record
.
In this case the Gemini 4:4:4 will revert to its own clip-naming scheme, as set in the menu Record->Clip
In instances where two recorders are required:
Simultaneous in-camera recording is needed to ensure
proper clip-naming across two recorders.
Additionally the two recorders' dates must match, for proper clip-naming.
In cases where the camera does not provide the clip-name to the Gemini 4:4:4 Recorders (such as in
Slow/Fast):
Ensure that the two recorders' clip-name settings match, as set in the menu Record->Clip,
since the Gemini will be recording the same clip across all four drives.
For Canon Raw, the Playback/Project rate is set by the Camera.
For Canon DPX, the Playback/Project can be set in the Gemini Recorder menu Setup->Project->Frame
Rate
6.
Extended Clip-name option (Canon Raw only) ( Record->ExtClip):
This menu option provides you with flexibility in Gemini 4:4:4 Clip Naming.
With this option not enabled, the Gemini 4:4:4 Clip names will more closely match the internal clip names,
as recorded in the C500.
With this option enabled, the Gemini 4:4:4 Clip names will not match the internal clip names, but will have a
Date and Camera Serial Number as part of the Clip Name, which provides extra protection against one
reusing the same Clip Name.
We offer both options so you have the choice of which one suits your production best. If this option is
enabled, and the C500 is providing the clip name to the Gemini 4:4:4 (which it does when simultaneous in-
camera recording is taking place; while the Gemini is recording via Camera Trigger):
With
ExtClip
enabled:
the Gemini Recorder will create the clip names with the following structure:
AA000101_121031_0001_0000001.RMF
In which:
•
the 1
st
8 characters are provided by the C500 (to match the camera's internal recording clip name)
•
the next 6 characters following “_” are year/month/day YY/MM/DD as set on the Gemini Recorder
•
the next 4 characters following “_” are the last 4 digits of the camera serial number
•
the next 7 characters following “_” are the frame counter digits.
•
“.RMF” is the Canon Raw-specific file extension.
If
ExtClip
is disabled:
when the Gemini Recorder is retrieving the clip-name from the C500, the Gemini Recorder will create
simpler clip names with the following structure:
AA000101_0000001.RMF
