Can A7SII record 4K internally while exporting 1080p or 4K externally?

The subject line says it all. Of course, I should add that I'd want the ability to see what I'm shooting on both the camera and the recorder.

In my quick test with the A7RII, it looked like I WAS able to record interally and export a 1080p video via HDMI to a recorder as well, HOWEVER, when I hit record on camera the screen on the A7RII goes black (even though it is still recording the video just fine) and I can only see what I'm shooting on the recorder. Interestingly, the recording in-camera looked fine, I just lost the ability to see what I'm shooting while I'm shooting it on the camera since sometimes this video feed is going to a switcher and not a recorder.

So I guess this question would be mostly for A7SII owners on if it works any different???
 
On the A7SII that behavior is correct when shooting 4K. But when shooting 1080 I can see the video on both screens.
