Connect
To access and edit your recorded material, connect the included CFast
Card reader to a Mac
® or Windows ® editing workstation via USB 2.0 or
USB 3.0.
Remove the CFast card from your Ninja Star and insert it into the CFast
Card reader. After a short wait, the recorded video will be accessible to the
target computer via a standard disk (exFAT) file system.
ExFAT compatibility
The Ninja Star formats your disk as exFAT. We have chosen this file system
to overcome the 4GB file limitation of FAT32 and keep compatibility on both
Windows and MAC OS.
The Operating Systems that support exFAT are:
• Windows XP - install the following update :

• Windows 7 (32/64bit)
• Mac OSX 10.6.5 or higher
Transferring Files
Now your CFast Card reader is connected and your card is recognised by
your operating system, you can edit directly from the drive or copy the files
to your own storage.
Windows
Open the card in My Computer > Select all the files or just the ones you
wish to transfer, copy and paste them to your desired location.
Mac OS
Your Ninja Star disk will show in Finder. Select the files you wish to
transfer, drag the files to your desired location or use the copy and paste
commands.(Apple + C copy, CTRL + V paste).
NLE supported
We have chosen the Apple ProRes CODECs as they are both not only
visually lossless, but also edit-ready formats. All major NLEs support ProRes.
