The table below outlines the amount of storage the iPad requires per hour of recording based on different settings and using different devices. Note: These storage amounts are per each camera being recorded and can be greater if you are saving a live-edit when recording or live streaming. For example: If you are set Director Pad to 'Good' setting and are capturing 4 cameras and are creating a live edit you would need 6Gb of storage for every hour of recording. In this case each source cameras + 1 live edit equals 5 1.2Gb files yielding 6Gb of storage needed per hour in this mode. At the highest setting with 4 cameras and a live edit Cinamaker requires 22Gb per hour of recording.
