How about this:
"The Wafian HR-2 is a 10-bit 4:4:4 dual-link HD-SDI recorder for digital film workflows. The HR-2 records into the CineForm 444 format at 360 Mb/s and as with the HR-1, the new HR-2 empowers film-makers and broadcasters with affordable and efficient workflow options without sacrificing quality."

Will I get a 4.4.4 color sampling from XDCAM HD 700 using this unit, or it is limited to sensors of the 700?

I also learned from other forum that a product called Flash XDR will do the same. How do you compare it with Wafian products?

Thanks for your help Brain :)
Neither of these cameras give you a dual link HD SDI output, so you're limited to the 10 bit 4:2:2 HD SDI output. If you wish to use this you'll need to get a camera with a dual link output.

I'd talk to the people handling the post production before making a decision. There's little point in coming up with a recording format that they can't handle.
