This is probably a bit specific for most people on here, but I'm looking into using compact flash cards as a mirroring solution for our Deva 5.8 at work. Does anyone know if there is a capacity limitation as to which cards can be used?
Note: I'm not concerned about speeds, I've found out the minimum specs for that [10Mb/s] and those are easily cleared. I just want to make sure I'm not going to buy the wrong cards before I try to convince the money people here to let me do it.
I don't believe there is a capacity limitation. Or at least not one within a reasonable price range of compact flash cards. I've used anywhere from a 1gb card to a 32gb card on both the 5.8 and the Fusion 12, and I've never had a problem. I've used a whole range of brands of cards, never had one that didn't work. Never used anything above a 32gb card, but I don't suspect you'll be attempting to use one. I'm using the most recent firmware, so as long as you are, I suspect you'll be pretty much fine with any card you get, assuming it meets the speed standards (as you said, 10Mb/s +).
Good luck!
BTW, nice to see a Zaxcom question here... Don't get to answer too many of those online :-)
