Has anyone tested this?

What I am interested in is not recording, but that anything is even output via HDMI in this mode.

I am needing a bright external monitor for critical focus when shooting 6K anamorphic, I LOVE this mode with my anamorphic rig,
but the little internal display is not really good outside in the sun.

I shoot HS marching band performances, BTW...
 
I don't think 6K HDMI out is possible as it's outside of the HDMI spec. Same issue with recording high speed.

That's why internal recording is still the most flexible option with these cameras.

GH5 outputs 6k over HDMI just fine however you cannot output to HDMI and record at the same time.

Internal recording works great with the 200Mbps HVEC encoder.

When you say it outputs 6K, do you mean you can view a 4K version of it? Because if you are actually getting a proper 6K signal out, that would be amazing (and somehow existing outside of the HDMI 2.0 spec). I suspect you're just seeing the 4K 10bit output as normal, hence not being able to record internally at the same time.

Cheers,

Wow, wished it output even a 1920x1080 signal when recording internal, that would super beneficial for focusing, etc...
