Gemini 4:4:4 and ArriRAW – Do you need dual link SDI?

Recommended Posts

I'm setting up a Gemini 4:4:4 (I only have one HDSDI cable with me) and an Alexa Plus 4:3 to record ArriRAW.

When I switch to ArriRAW mode in the Gemini recorder there is a "settings mismatch" and it says it needs dual link SDI I think? When I am in DPX mode it seems okay....

But in this video there's no such requirement? I'm inputting at 24p PSF I think?

I should have ordered another cable? Or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks. Sort of new to this. Haven't shot ArriRAW before.

They were recording but I needed to write the clips to the card for Finder to see them.

Now, the Alexa is frequently having system errors, but at least I've got some footage to show for my efforts. It didn't have system errors before I used this recorder. I am outputting 3G single SDI 24p no longer PSF.

Apologies for the accidental blog. ? 

What are these system errors about and how can I avoid them? It's a little disconcerting to say the least.
