HI all this is my first post so be kind
I too am one of the many waiting for the release of the BMCC here in Australia. To pass the time until release I decided to have a look at the manual and disturbingly under 'Recording Format' on page 13 there is no mention of the Avid codec:
Is this an oversight in the manual or has support for native recording in DNxHD been dropped? My entire workflow is baised on avid and not being able to shoot in DNxHD would be close to a deal breaker.
Also a concern for me is how 'Mac centric' the manual is. Windows barely gets a mention. Again my entire workflow is avid/PC and not giving clear instructions for a major OS is giving me second thoughts, its bad enough I have to format the SSD as a mac drive.
Please no MAC vs PC ranting here it’s pointless and juvenile.
Note to Blackmagic Design- Thunderbolt is not a mac exclusive technology, yet the manual only mentions mac when talking about Thunderbolt.
So, can somebody please confirm that the BMCC will shoot DNxHD natively.
Cheers
Andrew

You can choose to record to CinemaDNG RAW 2.5K video or to the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) video
format in high definition. Choose RAW 2.5K for maximum quality especially if you intend to color
grade your video. Choose ProRes if you want to record in a high definition format suitable for
broadcast.
