Once you have selected your setting, press the 'change' menu soft button.

You can always cancel the change by pressing the 'back' menu soft button which will take you
one step back in the menu sequence, or by simply pressing the 'menu' button on the control
panel, which will return the LCD to the home screen.
Record
The 'record' settings lets you change the video source, set the bit rate, enable or disable trigger
recording, and format your SD cards.
Video Source
This setting is used to select between the SDI input and the optical fiber input if you have the
optical fiber SDI module installed.
Mode
Use this setting to select a recording mode:
Duplicate
Record the same video onto all SD cards at the same time.
Single Disk
Write to one SD card at a time, and when the SD card is full then continue on the next
available SD card. When all cards are full, Duplicator 4K stops recording. If you have
multiple units daisy chained together, recording continues to the next Duplicator 4K
until all SD cards are full.
Single Disk Overwrite
Record a continual loop. Write to one SD card at a time, and when the SD card is full
then continue on the next available SD card. When all cards are full, Duplicator 4K
loops back to the first SD card and keeps recording.
Codec
Use this setting to set your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K to record using the H.264 and H.265
compression codecs.
