Sony FS 700 slow motion and external recorder
For Wildlife shots in France I need some slow motion shots. As the budget is limited I want to use the Sony FS 700.
As I understood when shooting 240fps the HD SDI output of the ring buffer will be 1080p/50. To get a higher quality I want to use the Gemini Recorder.
But what is the FS700 HDSDI Output when shooting 720p with higher frame rates? Is the HDSDI output 720p? If – I cannot find any recorder able to record these shots.
Any ideas or suggestions?

You have to set the sdi-output to 1080i on the camera. then you can record it with a recorder even without 3G SDI, like the samurai.
I testet it myself with the samurai, it has to be set to HD-SDI / TC-Run and then it detects the output of the buffer and records it automatically.
But: This way you are recording interlaced Material!
For progressive you need a 3G-SDI capable recorder, like the gemini or the sounddevice PIX -
Hi Eric,
thank you for answering. But as you suggested I have to record in progressive mode. And this is the problem (I guess).
Gemini is able to record the 240 frames per second 1080p/50 output over 3G. But which kind of signal is coming out of the 3G port if the camera is set to 720p/480 slow motion mode? I guess the output will be 720p/50 or? And as far as I know no external recorder is able up to know to records this? Or am I wrong?Charles

Hi Charles,
why do you want to record 720p in the first place? The camera can record 1080/60p and the gemini can record that.
Regards!
