GH4 Does YAGH downconvert UHD or 4K in-camera record to 1080 via SDI?

[edithouse]

When shooting UHD or 4K in-camera, is it possible to monitor 1080 via the YAGH SDI outputs? I get all four quadrants on SDI outs 1-4, but cannot find a 1080 way to monitor through SDI. If anyone knows for sure whether it's at all possible, I'm listening. Thanks.

Do you own the YAGH? I thought it had an SDI for monitoring on it?

Yes I have one, but my issue is trying to monitor the camera while shooing UHD or 4K. Each of the 4 SDI connections shows one quadrant of the image.

If there is no dedicated monitor port, the only option I can think of is using the HDMI port, and getting an HDMI to SDI converter.

Looks like HDMI is able to down convert, but not the SDI connections, still trying.

I hooked up my Yagh to a 7" monitor and worked fine. I believe you have to set it in the menu to down convert. My problem with this is the crazy long video delay. But I could see the whole image...

I see downconvert but only under HDMI, you were able to see 1080 on SDI out while the camera is in 4K?

The HDMI port feeds the SDI outs on the YAGH.

if this is the case, then all I need to find is the launch code sequence in the menu to actually make it happen. Will try again after the shoot tomorrow, thanks.
