Anyone tried to combine 4K footage (XAVC) with HD footage (750x1080)? Just curious.

Sorry! Typing error, it should have been 720x1080.
Quoting Blackmagic CEO from dec 2: "Ultra HD is important because broadcasters have been hobbled by electing 1080i rather than 1080p HD, so the jump in resolution to 4K will be felt." and ... "However, the computer industry will send 4K to the home before broadcast does. Broadcasters have to figure out how to get UHD 60p down a conventional channel. UHD at low framerates is doable, but even so it will emerge pretty rough on transmission. The problem is that 4K is being driven by organisations pretending that low framerate UHD is good enough. That's a press release, not a workflow.”
Is the question HD and UHD, but mastering in 4K? So, I should certainly by a 4K camcorder?
