HMC150/151 HDMI Output

[Exact]

Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times - but after 6 hours of using the search tool both here and on google I still don't have a definitive answer!

1) Is the HDMI on the HMC150/151 real time (this appears to be the case) enough to be used for recording

2) Is it 4.2.2 or 4.2.0 ?

Thank David, I had found that post earlier in my searching. However, it talks about 'recording' in 4.2.2 but that doesn't mean the camera is actually outputting 4.2.2. That's what I need clarifying

The camera records 4:2:0 to SDHC cards.

Out HDMI, my understanding is that "live" it outputs 4:2:2

Is this a written specification somewhere - or is it something that everyone just assumes?

Sorry David, I don't see the specification here - just the same old searches I've been doing all day long....

Thanks anyway.

I don't think you are going to find a specification.

Try contacting Panasonic directly, but I've been around here for nearly four years, and have owned a 150, and it has been represented many times that it output 4:2:2.

BTW, Barry Green indicates that it does output 4:2:2 via the Intensity:
