DUAL-CHANNEL RECORDING (via 3D Option)
With the 3D Option, you are able to record two cameras simultaneously; Camera 1 to SDI A and
Camera 2 to SDI B. Depending on your settings, you can see both channels for preview/playback,
one separately, or Camera 1 on the Gemini and Camera 2 out to a monitor. *Cameras MUST be genlocked.
4:2:2 to 4:4:4 UP-CONVERSION
The Gemini 4:4:4 records in DPX file format, an industry standard for high end post processing. To
conform with widely used software that accepts the DPX file format, the Gemini 4:4:4 automatically
up-converts (up-reses) to 4:4:4.
This is accomplished by using a sophisticated routine that uses the weighted average of nearby
pixels to ensure that the 4:4:4 is of high quality, even when the source video is 4:2:2.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Gemini 4:4:4 will record from either a 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 camera.
A 4:2:2 signal will be up-resed to 4:4:4.
SPECIAL RECORDING CAPABILITIES
Time-Lapse, Vari-Frame, Project Frame Rate and high frame rates (up to 60fps) are all supported.
HD TOUCH SCREEN FOR RECORD AND PLAYBACK
The Gemini 4:4:4 is easily controlled using the touch screen. A Stylus is provided to prevent the LCD
Monitor from being smudged.
DUAL SSD
The Gemini 4:4:4 is unique in that it supports two SSD’s for both recording and playback. To extend
recording time, a recording can automatically span from one SSD to another. This is fully automatic.
