*The 3G-SDI is known as the 3 Gb/s interface, but the actual bit rates are 2.97 Gb / s and

2.97 / 1.001 Gb / s. 3G-SDI supports several different mapping levels, as described in the SMPTE ST425-1 standard. These levels are called A, B-DL, and B-DS.

**The 12G-SDI is an SDI standard developed to support higher resolution, frame rate, and color fidelity. It provides four times the bandwidth of HD, carrying 12Gbps, making it ideal for the 4K 60p format.

The SSD slots are located on the front panel.

The SSD must be installed in a removable disk enclosure (see Install an SSD drive in a

Removable Disk Enclosure) before inserting into SSD slots. After disk insertion, make sure

the drive is locked to avoid unintentional disk removal. Move the latch to the LOCK position. To remove the disk, unlock the drive then pull the disk out of the slot.

The slot LED indicators show disk status of SSD slots 1 and 2 respectively. Solid green light indicates normal disk function and flashing red light indicates that the HDR unit is accessing the disk (do not remove the disk while it is being accessed). The LED will be off if no disk is inserted or detected.

Note: HDR-90 only accepts Samsung 860 Pro SSD.
