Known Limitations

  • In rare cases, the Ninja V may not lock to a RAW video signal from the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III for ProRes RAW, when the Ninja V is switched between playback and record modes.
  • In rare cases, the Ninja V may not recommence recording automatically when momentarily losing video signal lock from the Sony Alpha A7sIII or Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III due to a faulty cable connection.
  • Non-RAW Dual Link SDI video cannot be monitored when in ProRes RAW mode. To monitor and record Dual Link SDI modes please use either ProRes or DNx modes.
  • In some cases, dual link video from the Panasonic Varicam LT may not lock when switching from a single link video mode. Please reboot the Ninja V if this occurs.

Fixes

  • Enabled Panasonic Type 3 trigger to work for all recordings from supported SDI Panasonic Cameras in ProRes RAW, ProRes and DNx.
  • AU-EVA1
  • VariCam L
