In certain high frame rates and modes, the Gemini 4:4:4 uses two SSD’s,
recording even numbered frames to one SSD and odd numbered frames to
the second SSD.
This new, free utility program, for both Mac and PC’s, can be used to
combine files from both SSD’s. This utility is available on our website:
http://www.convergent-design.com/Products/nanoFlash/Downloads.aspx
The procedure is actually very simple, quick and efficient.
1.
Create a folder on your computer to receive the files from your

2.
Copy the folders under the “}CLIPS{ folder from each SSD to the

3.
Run the Clip Merge Utility, specifying the location and name of the
folder that you created in step 1 above.
This will take under one minute.
All of the files will be handled in such a manner as to combine the
odd numbered frames and even numbered frames, just as if they
were recorded to one SSD originally.
