Jacob Nielsen reacted to paulraymaekers in GH4 DR on external 10 bit 4.2.2?
if it were only for sharpness, all we would need is the GH4 having an EXT TELE CONV of x1.2 and internally recording 1080P
this would use the native pixels of the 3840*2160, and downscale it to FHD, like it does now on the HDMI output..
a 'reasonable' upgrade request...?

Some ungraded tests for you to examine. UHD/HDMI 10 bit > Ninja Blade ProRes HQ.

Yes - 10 bit output disables internal recording - so that's certainly an issue to be aware of.

There is one workaround to avoid the transcoding process to ProRes - however you will not be able to record the original 4K files this way. Record in UltraHD directly to an external recorder like Atomos Ninja Blade. Set HDMI output to 10bit, you will not be able to record internally, but it will stream a very beautiful 10 bit 1080 24p stream directly to your recorder, far sharper and with less aliasing than the internal 1080p mode. However there is an issue with especially 50Hz (and some 60Hz modes), since Ninja Blade will only record a 1080i stream in AVCHD mode. To take advantage of full progressive you need to go into 24Hz.
