Scarlet Compression Rate help please?

[Donnie King]

Is the scarlet capable of recording 3:1 compression at 4k or at any resolution? Im using a 64gb ssd It shows 3:1 when I scroll through the menu but it reverts back to 6:1 with a yellow line underneath it once I press record?

Scarlet is only capable of 6:1 at 4K/23.98fps. The yellow underlined text is your indication that you chose a compression that is not within spec and that it has been changed to the closest possible option.
Iʻm not near my camera right now to check, but I think you would have to go to or below 3KHD @23.98fps to get 3:1 compression.
