AC130: 4:2:2 HDMI out?

[vorrik]

I read this review ( http://provideocoalition.com/index....-ac160_and_ag-hpx250_1_3_3-mos_camcorders/P0/ ) of the AC160. It mentions that the HDMI and SDI outputs on the AC160 are both 10 bit 4:2:2...

Obviously the AC130 is lacking the SDI out, but does anyone know if the HDMI is 10bit 4:2:2 like on the AC160? I poked around in the forum here for a bit but didn't see where anyone has addressed this.

It is 8bit 4:2:2 not 10bit on the Ac160 so I am pretty sure it would be 8bit also on the ac130.

the article states that the AVCHD codec for the AC160 is 8 bit 4:2:0 but that the both HDMI and HD-SDI out on both the 160 and the HPX250 "offer fully-populated 10 bit 4:2:2 signal".

If that is true I am wondering if the ac130 is also 10 bit 4:2:2 on the HDMI out.

It is 8bit in a 10bit wrapper, all your getting is 8bit. The Hpx250 is the only one with true 10bit. See post below.
