Hi, thank u for the reply.
I got a reply from the support service. They said :

Hi Marco,

The PIX recorders can recorder can record many different rates, but it does not support 1080p60. The full list of resolutions and rates can be found in the user guide:

The PIX-CADDY does not provide any data output options when connected to the PIX recorder. The firewire 800 and USB 3.0 ports on the PIX-CADDY are for connecting a PIX-CADDY to t computer, when it is not inserted into a PIX recorder. The PIX recorder records to one storage device at a time.

Regards,

I searched in the manual above and I found this :


Selecting File Resolution and Frame Rate
The PIX recorders can record video in numerous resolutions and frame rates. The Setup Menu option
Video  File Resolution/Rate sets the resolution and frame rate of recorded Quicktime files.
This Setup Menu option also determines the resolution and frame rate of the live HDMI and SDI
outputs signals, except during playback. The PIX recorder can record Quicktime files in the following
resolutions and frame rates:
• 1080p30
• 1080p29.97
• 1080p25
• 1080p24
• 1080p23.976
• 1080i60
• 1080i59.94
• 1080i50
• 720p60
• 720p59.94
• 720p50
• 720p30
• 720p29.97
• 720p25
• 720p24
• 720p23.976
When Setup Menu option Video  File Resolution/Rate is set to Same as Video Input, recorded
Quicktime files and HDMI and SDI output signals will be of the same resolution and frame rate as
the input video signal.
