I'd like to have HDR monitoring option for my FS7, and recording from HDMI output to DNxHR HQX. Since (according to Sony Prime Support) the HDMI ouput is 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 4K@30p, and only 8-bit, 4:2:0 above - I think buying a Shogun Inferno would be an overkill, especially that to take advantage of its 4K@50/50p recording capabilities I'd need SDI-RAW output from the FS7, meaning further expenditures like the XDCA extension module and V-lock batteries and a charger (I have plenty of BP batteries)...
But while I could limit myself to external recording only up to UHD 25p without problems, and Ninja Flame with HDR option (with Euro 200 cashback) is fine for that - I'd still love the full capabilities of HDR monitoring in all framerates - including UHD@50p. My question is this:
1. with its recording capabilities in UHD limited to 30p, will Ninja Flame allow for monitoring my FS7 when recording UHD@50p internally, with HDMI output set to UHD@50P? or will it just not recognize the signal at all?
2. If the latter is true, will I be able to take full advantage of de-logging S-Log and previewing in HDR if I set HDMI output to 1080@50p, which Ninja Flame is capable of?
3. or perhaps my concerns are not valid at all, and it will work OK? The FS7 manual (output formats section) says that with UHD/4K DCI @50 fps internal recording, HDMI output can be set to 4096×2160P or 3840×2160P without specifying frame rate - so perhaps, in order to monitor on Ninja Flame with full advantages of S-Log de-logging and HDR, I can monitor UHD@25p while recording UHD@50p internally?
Please advise; I'm about to put a rather large order before the end of year (you know - end of fiscal year, tax write-off
), so I'm in a hurry. Thanks in advance to all of you guys who will answer constructively rather that pull my leg again, which has become so popular recently each time I post to this Forum

EDIT: after giving it some more thoughts, I *think* option 2 above should work. After all - recording internally in UHD@50p, I can set HDMI out for "monitor" rather than "recorder" and set its format to either UHD (which the Ninja probably wouldn't accept as it would be 50p), or to HD@50p which the Ninja Flame supports. Is there any reason that such a down-rezzed S-Log picture couldn't be de-logged with a proper LUT and displayed in AtomHDR?
