(R)evolutionary Uncompressed HD Video Recorder

---

The Gemini 4:4:4 from Convergent Design has just won it's fourth award for this year - the Editors BEST of IBC Award. 

A revolutionary uncompressed video recorder/player, it also won multiple awards at NAB 2011, enabling videographers and cinematographers to capture at the ultimate video quality, in a small, low-power, lightweight package, at a very affordable price. 

Gemini features a built-in high-brightness 5.0” 800x480 24-bit LCD touch-screen for monitor and playback, and introduces an industry first - the ability to simultaneously record to two removable solid-state drives - creating instant backups; an invaluable insurance against lost footage, as well as, opening new workflow options.

Building on, but not replacing, the highly successful nanoFlash, Gemini records 10-bit uncompressed 4:4:4 / 4:2:2 video in most popular HD/2K/3G formats, including 1080p24 and 1080p50/60, with up to 16-channels of embedded audio and timecode. 

Gemini has slots for two removable 1.8” solid-state drives (SSDs), enabling recording in either parallel mode (instant backup), or spanning mode (longer record times).  Sporting a lightweight milled aluminum case, Gemini is about the same size and weight as the popular SmallHD DP6 monitor, but includes Recording, Playback, Image Processing, Dual HD/3G SDI I/Os, HDMI-Out and consumer level audio I/O; while consuming only 8 to 15 watts of power.

Please note: the Gemini 4:4:4 relies on the use of uniquely sized SSD media which at this time can only be purchased from Convergent-Design. Product details are below.

“Gemini 4:4:4 is a revolutionary full uncompressed HD recorder which stores video/audio data onto two removable 1.8” SSDs (Solid State Drive) for playback/transfer to a PC/MAC. An industry first, this gives the unique ability to record to both drives simultaneously, creating identical masters.

The 1-lb Gemini with milled aluminum case measures 5.4 x 4.5 x 1.1” or about the same size as the popular SmallHD DP6 monitor. But, of course, Gemini also includes recording, playback, image processing, etc, etc. 

After considerable technical research, we determined that an affordable uncompressed HD recorder was now feasible.  This, coupled with the recent introduction of low-noise high-quality cameras, like the Sony F3, opened the market for our third-generation recorder."
