Hi all...I've not got a definite answer from anyone yet regards to 4K but from testing - it seems I can only output 1080p from my Panasonic GH4 to an external recorder (in the case an Atomos Ninja Flame). I have the camera set for 4K, but it needs to down convert to get a signal to the Atomos via the 701D.
The upside is that the HDMI trigger from the camera > 701D > Ninja works a treat.
Something else I've discovered if I'm trying to shoot 4K internally to the camera and fire the HDMI trigger for it and the 701D is that it has to be 4:2:0 8 bit - if it's in 4:2:2 10 bit it thinks it's going to a recorder but can't record internally.
Great but not ideal as I tend to shoot a lot of longer form stuff in 4K and would be great to have the throughput to the recorder, plus I can use bigger drives (plus the Ninja is a better larger monitor) to cope with that - the GH4 has 64GB cards.
