can you capture RAW in this way to get past the 15 minutes SD ceiling? or is it just prorez?
HDMI by definition isn't raw, its a debayered video signal, not raw sensor data. SDI again isn't raw. Uncompressed perhaps but not raw.[/quote]
Yes, you're correct, thanks for clarifying that. For example, the cam's HDMI output is 10-bit, whereas BMD RAW is 12-bit, etc.
External recording with the BMPCC allows you to achieve backup (dual) recording, or extended length recording, but it's not quite the same quality as RAW. Very, very good (in the case of uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2), but not quite as good as RAW.
If one absolutely needs RAW, and longer recording times compared to the BMPCC, the original BMCC or BMPC-4K are two examples of cameras which may be better suited for the task.
