BMPCC HDMI question.

With all the new RAW recorders coming out at NAB2014 does BMD think opening the HDMI to record raw is a capable option?

HDMI is not a general purpose data bus, there is no possible way to record RAW through hdmi.

It would even be progress if the pockets' hdmi port could provide more framerate/interlacing options, to make it work with the majority of low-budget evfs and fieldmonitors.

so how does the shogun record 4k raw out of the hdmi

It does not. It may record uncompressed, but there is - to the best of my knowledge - no way to transfer true (undebayered) raw data over HDMI.

so how does the shogun record 4k raw out of the hdmi

It also has 12G-SDI and it claims "4K and Raw are the future of professional video production." who knows what specs they have in store... there's still not much info available...

i think your right. i believe raw is through the HD SDI

Still a recorder can only record "raw" if the camera delivers it - and that's not very likely, even over SDI, as "raw" is not a specific image format in itself, but dependent on the sensor and readout electronics. I fear, atomos actually means "uncompressed DNxHD" (or "lossless").

its a 12g sdi. the Odyssey records raw over SDI

the Odyssey records raw over SDI

From which cameras?

if you go to there website it says. but i will copy and paste.

Compressed and Uncompressed recording is included in the Odyssey7Q and requires Convergent Design SSD Media for capture. Odyssey7Q can be upgraded with Options, including ARRIRAW, Canon C500 4K Raw, Sony FS700 Raw; Multi-Stream HD and 2K Raw availble soon.

RAW Record Options
Optional recording features available at any time for purchase, extending the capabilities of the Odyssey7Q. RAW Recording options include ARRIRAW (ALEXA), Canon RAW (C500), Sony RAW (FS700) In the future, the ARRIRAW (ALEXA), Canon RAW (C500) may be rented on a daily basis, if desired. Please note that these Options are only available on the Odyssey7Q and not the Odyssey7. Also, the Odyssey7 cannot be upgraded to the Odyssey7Q.

There you go. You need the camera to offer raw output, and you need sdi. No way to record raw from bmpcc over hdmi.
