Please note the following with regard to using the Canon C500 with the Gemini Recorder:
If you wish to record DPX from the Canon C500 (meaning the C500's “System Priority” is set to 2K or
MXF):
Ensure that the Gemini is set to Setup-> Mode-> DPX.
If you wish to record Canon Raw or Half Raw from the C500 (meaning the C500's “System Priority” is set
to 4K):
Ensure that the Gemini is set to Setup-> Mode-> Canon Raw.
When in Camera Trigger for any Canon Raw or Canon DPX recordings,
the Gemini Recorder will attempt to retrieve the base “Clipname” from the C500.
The C500 must be recording internally simultaneously,
in order for the Clip-name to be passed to the Gemini 4:4:4.
