Inserting and Formatting SD Cards
Blackmagic Duplicator 4K uses common class 10 SD cards so you don't have to buy the fastest
cards available. SD cards can be purchased from any store that sells camera equipment, and
even some supermarkets sell class 10 SD cards.
TIP
On the label of all SD cards you will see a number from 1 to 10 printed in a
small circle. This number represents the speed rating of the card and 10 is the
fastest rating. Any card that has the number 10 printed in the circle is a class 10
SD card and the type of card you will need to record up to Ultra HD video at
the highest bit rate setting.
To insert an SD card:
1
Hold the card with the gold connectors facing the control panel LCD and align it with
one of your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K's SD card slots.
2
Gently push the card into the slot until it is firmly seated. Your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K
verifies the card quickly, and when the card is ready to record status LED above the slot
turns green.
Align the SD card with the gold connectors facing the LCD and gently push the card into the slot
until it is firmly seated. The LED status indicator turns green when your card is ready to record.
To remove a card, simply hold the card by its edge and remove it from the slot.
TIP
When inserting a card, make sure the card is not write protected. Write
protection is disabled by moving the little plastic switch on the left side of the
card to the position closest to the connectors. After recording, you can then
write protect the card by sliding the switch back down to the bottom position.
