This camera can record "ProRes 422 (HQ)", which by definition is 10 bit.

As Mac says, all ProRes modes are 10-bit 4:2:2, except ProRes 4444 (which is 12-bit) and ProRes proxy (which I think is 8-bit).

The BMPC-4K will record 10-bit 4:2:2 "ProRes 422 HQ" at both "4K" (3840 x 2160 @ up to 884 megabits/sec.) and 1080p (1920 x 1080 @ up to 220 megabits/sec.) with Film/log or Video/Rec.709 gamma ...

... plus BMD's new lossless compressed RAW codec at both resolutions (details TBA).
