Hi,
just got my Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle and can't get any small bnc connectors SDI cables, so I'm stuck with the HDMI port on my recorder. My question is: Is the HDMI output on the Sony F3 10bit 4:2:2 just as it is on the FS100?
Kind regards,
Chris

The Hyperdeck shuttle is great with only two caveats:
1. The SDI connectors are kind of mini BNC connectors. Very very hard to find cables for this kind of connectors. Maybe someone here can point me to a source?!
2. Only specific SSDs work. Blackmagic includes a white paper with a list of confirmed SSD models. I have tried a SSD which wasn't on the list first and got drop frames. With the confirmed SSD (Kingston) everything worked great.
I have posted a review of using the Shuttle with my 5DMK2 for uncompressed recordeing on my blog:

You can buy cables online at B&H Photo. 1.0/2.3 to BNC adaptor.

HDMI on the FS100 is only 8bit.

Yeah, but what about the F3 HDMI output?

My guess would be 8 bit. It's only really there for monitoring.
