I’m sorry. I speak native English. What language was this description translated from? Why do I feel like I am reading an instruction manual for some Korean gadget?
ah its just video geek speak lol. translation: if you have the gh4 and want to record video with 4 times the resolution of your hd tv with lots of yummy colours to play with when editing then buy this shiny new toy.
LOL
10bit 4:2:2 4K through the GH4s HDMI ? or add-on needed ?
No add-on is needed.
My understanding is that the GH4 does not transmit timecode via HDMI – only via quad-SDI from the YAGH, and also transmits no record trigger via HDMI. Therefore, the Shogun cannot trigger recording automatically, just like with the GH3 and the Ninja 2 or Blade.
yep, gotta hit record twice. at least for now. I think Panasonic is working on it.
No, I think not. I don’t have $2,000 lying around for the Atomos Shogun.
Neither do most people, we have to work for it………
How come it only records the 3840×2160 resolution? The GH4 can do 4096×2160 as well.
I want a cheaper solution, ie just a recorder without the screen etc…
