Quick question. Can you use HDMI and SDI at the same time on the C300 Mark I and Mark II?

On the Mark II there is a clean feed SDI and a monitor SDI. Is the HMDI feed clean or with display info?

I've been mainly using SDI but looking at using the cameras with a Paralinx Ace HDMI.
 
Yes, you can use both outputs at the same time from both cameras. The Mark II feed out from the HDMI can be used either way -- with OSD or Clean -- it follows the OSD output setting you set in MON. Terminal>OSD Output.
 
Once you turn on the HDMI and SDI though, you have to choose between either the LCD or the Viewfinder.

LCD takes precedent, so when it's open the Viewfinder is Off. Close the LCD, and the viewfinder comes on.

Not really a problem for me, but I could see it surprising people.

On the mark I you can use SDI and HDMI simultaneously. But they are also either "clean" or "dirty" simultaneously, you can't select OSD ON or OFF independently for each output, it's unfortunately universal(although you can turn it ON on the native LCD and OFF on the outputs). Another of the many design flaws of the original camera. HDMI should never be on a "professional" camera, anyway. Junk consumer connection.

From what I gather the Mark II is the same, as I couldn't find a way to send a dirty feed to SDI and a clean feed to HDMI at the same time.
