Are HDMI out and SDI out working simultaneously?
can we use both for monitoring and out-board recording?
I've read somewhere they are switchable |

It's one or the other and not both together.

that's bad.
So if we want to use the Ninja recorder wich only have one Hdmi input, we can't use the sdi out for monitoring. We also have to take the right decision for monitoring or get a monitor with both hdmi and sdi |

The HDMI output can be split at the camera and sent to multiple devices. Small HD DP 6 monitor has both HDMI and HD SDI inputs. |

Using an active HDMI splitter on a camera is a hassle.
And the DP6 doesn't provide an HDMI pass-through. I guess going with the KiPro mini and HD-SDI is better and specially for longer length monitoring and recording. |

And of course the NanoFlash can take either HD-SDI or HDMI as an input, while outputting both HD-SDI and HDMI simultaneously.

nanoflash ...
This is another solution but at a cost ... I have the nanoflash and use it with my EX3 religiously however, there is another lower cost solution if you don't want to go that route (AJA KI Pro mini and ninja excluded) and that is the MXO2 mini for about $500.

10 bit is a minimum nowadays specially if you're investing now.
I work in pro-res all day and love it but hate to carry a pack of compact flash and transfer one by one to the mac... The ninja seemed great but lack ins and outs. I guess i'll wait for the new 10 bit generation in 2 month. Maybe if Blackmagic could read and come-up with a device with dual recording (CF and HardDrive) and with 10 bit pro-res and Xdcam. |

It's in the menus. You can select either HDMI or SDI but not both. The F3 uses many of the same processing and output components as the the EX1R/PMW-350 and these have the same limitation.

Their website says 10bit, and HDMI supports all the way 16bit RGB. I take it you've tested the Ninja and determined they are wrong, as well as testing ALL HDMI outputs from ALL cameras to confirm they are 8bit :D

So it seems to me like they are working on getting both streams at the same time, but again he specifically said do not go by what the capabilities of the pre-production models have... It very well could change. And also he stated most likely 10bit for HDMI. Heres a link to all the rest of the answered questions from the "meeting": http://gpcinematography.blogspot.com...arding-f3.html Happy New Year! |
