Any news on good 10-bit recording alternative?

The Cineform recorder seems really nice, but it would be very unwise to release it without SDI support. If you only get HDMI support, you basically have $2000 recorder that is mostly suited for $800 cameras. That doesn't make sense to me.

With the HPX 170, EX1 & 3 and canon prosumer cameras with SDI-out, it is obvious to me this is where the potenitial buyers of a higher bitrate recorder is.
 
But given its labeled "HDMI Recorder", why would you expect SDI with it?

They would need to release a "SDI Recorder"....

They are most likely trying to capture the Z7 maket with that recorder. Also, I think a lot more cameras exist with HDMI than SDI, even if they are all at the wrong end of the market for this type of device...

There is always a SDI-HD to HDMI converter (<US$500)
