Not quite sure if this should be posted in the Cinematography section or the Live section, so forgive me if it's off topic.
Heard a nasty rumor that the BMCC will not be compatible with any of the BMD broadcast type equipment (ATEM M/E 1 & 2, specifically). I know the camera is limited to 30fps and lower for internal recording, but SURELY, given the frame rate limitation is only due to internal SSD recording, a 24fps signal wrapped in a 60i stream is possible over SDI? I cannot believe that the Cinema camera would not be compatible with BMD vast array of switchers, etc. If that's the case, it would be a huge miss...
I understand the Cinema camera is not intended for traditional broadcasting, but it is an incredibly useful camera to use in a multicam scenario... I would hate to have to use different cameras because of a frame rate issue.
Curious if anyone can confirm.
(For instance, the Sony FS100 outputs, via HDMI a 24fps signal in a 60i stream. Perfect for the look i'm hoping to achieve w/ my multicam projects)
