Gemini 4:4:4 - Avid DNxHD and ARRIRAW

Dear Michael,

No, no yet, but that is planned for the future.

Does the Gemini have enough encode power to encode DNxHD at the new 1080p50, 1080p59.94, and 1080p60 framerates? That would be a more economical solution to 1080p60 recording for stuff like broadcast.

Dear Jack,

While our DNxHD support will not be ready until this fall, I believe the answer will be yes, we can support those frame rates (in Avid DNxHD).

This is welcome news Dan! I would predict this would be a space-efficient high quality 1080p60 recording solution for the FS700 (and future prosumer 3G-SDI cameras) that could ease a production transition to 1080p60 broadcast down the line.
