Frequently Asked Questions
The FTP client handles large files, but you'll want a stable, high-speed network connection to avoid interruptions. Chunking and resuming uploads are supported, but consistent bandwidth is key.
No, the SS-R250N doesn't offer a word clock input; it functions as a standalone master clock. This limits its use in complex, multi-device recording setups requiring precise synchronization.
The EOM (End Of Material) signal is a standard contact closure, suitable for triggering external devices – think automated cueing or scene changes – but check compatibility with the specific voltage requirements of your connected gear.
