Well there is no 4k DNXHD, so this may well be the reason for DNXHD missing the initial offering. Though the camera does offer a HD mode so that at least could have a DNXHD option.

As Pete says, there's currently no such thing as 4K DNxHD.

The BMPC-4K camera's official specs are listed on Blackmagic Design's website:

Currently, unlike BMD's other cameras, 1080p DNxHD is not an announced feature of the BMPC-4K. I suppose it's possible BMD might someday add 1080p DNxHD via a future firmware update, but it may never happen, so I wouldn't count on it.

Like all BMD cameras, the BMPC-4K includes Davinci Resolve software, which among many other capabilities, can convert a wide variety of video source files (including 4K & 1080p DNG, ProRes, etc.) to 1080p DNxHD.

Cheers.

How the converting is happening?
Is it while photography, or after?
I also came across this:

no, not while recording.

You can use Resolve to transcode if you like. Bring footage in and then export out. Filming in 4K if you only need HD is pretty..um...useless in my opinion. Besides, on the BMPC, when you record in HD, you're still using the whole 4K sensor.

4K is a LOT of data. You will be spending the majority of your time "rendering"...

Can I transcode the pro res files on my Windows PC?

The 4K now not interesting me, because avid supporter max at 1080P (maybe they will change it in the future).
My question relates to 1080P. What is the fastest way to make the material fit for Avid?

i work on pc..

You may be right but I suspect going from 4K to HD in software will give a better result than doing it in-camera. For one thing, the HD output from the BMPC4K is still ProRes 4:2:2, isn't it? In software, you should be able to get proper 4:4:4. I may be wrong but that is my assumption.
