Convergent Design has received a great reception from Alexa users and rental houses, but one question loomed: "Will Gemini 4:4:4 be able to support ARRIRAW 4:3 in addition to 16:9?" Convergent Design is excited to announce that we will be supporting 4:3 (2880 x 2160). This support will be included in the ARRIRAW Option and will be a free firmware to users with the option already installed. Planned availability has been pushed up to a July release date.
The upcoming firmware will include an Auto SSD Backup function that allows two identical masters to be created simultaneously. This feature provides extra security on set. The Gemini will automatically cross verify the video and audio data as well as the directory and FAT tables. Additionally, Convergent will be providing a SSD Transfer Program to support the offload of data, especially from raided drives (shooting 1080p50/60). Also in the works is Stereo 3D (paid upgrade), Avid DNxHD, Camera Selection List, Programmable LUTs, and many more!
