Does Video Assist 12G support simultaneous recording?

PostMon Jan 27, 2020 4:38 pm

Hi there,

Do the new Video Assist 12G monitors with dual SD card slots support simultaneous recording? That is recording the identical footage to both cards simultaneously?

If not, would this be something that can be added in the future? I find this an invaluable feature for peace of mind on cameras like the FS5.

Thanks,
Mark

PS: I did check the manual and it only mentions non-stop recording. Google searches didn't turn up anything either.

Hello Mark. All Video Assist models and Hyperdecks record to one card at a time. Additional media is for continuous recording if desired.
