What are you talking about? The AF100 captures in AVCHD unless you bypass through HD-SDI but who knows what the specs are. They havn't been released yet.

I'm curious if one could output HDMI video to your field monitor AND output SDI video to your nanoflash simultaniously?

We don't know. Nobody's seen a working version of the camera.

If I had to bet, I'd bet that it's one or the other. On all the other AG cameras, enabling HD-SDI or HDMI will disable component output, so I would bet that you have to choose HD-SDI or HDMI. But to be sure, we'll need more details to be released by the company.

If that's the case, theirs a DP6 monitor with 2 SDI "ports" (for passthrough)... I'm assuming I could then run a SDI signal into the monitor and then out to a nanoflash (or vice versa) at the same time right?

That's the right way to go. Frankly HDMI is a consumer connection and if you've ever got the choice of HD-SDI over HDMI, take it. HDMI is a non-locking cable, HD-SDI uses a locking BNC connector. Plus, HD-SDI outputs timecode over the data stream, something that HDMI cannot do.

If your camera only has HDMI, then use it, but if you've ever got the choice, always go HD-SDI.
 
Does anyone know if recording in 4:2:2 from HD-SDI would improve the quality over AVCHD?
IF the captured image is only from 1920*1080 pixels there are 960*540 blue and red pixels so the 4:2:0 color space of AVCHD should be more than enough.
 
Now Shooting AF100 SDI Out

Now Shooting AF100 SDI Out

We just started shooting with the AF100. SDI out to a Mac via Blackmagic Decklink 3D Extreme. It's pretty good. Uncompressed 4:2:2 ... 8bit in a 10bit wrapper (according to Panasonic tech support). We captured a number of projects this week in 1080i. Files are huge, of course, 158MB/s

We have one problem...we would like to capture 720/30p. However, when capturing 720/30p after about a minute and 15 seconds, FCP throws up an drop frame error and cancels the capture. No problem with 1080i. So it's not a drive issue or cpu capacity issue. The 720/30p files are about 106MB/s. If we end the capture before the 1:15, it records just fine. Hmm?
