Simultaneous Internal HD 50P and 7Q+ 4k ProRes 25P Possible?

As the title says, is it possible to simultaneously record HD 50P recordings internally in AVCHD at the same time as record 4K (or UHD) ProRes at 25P on the 7Q+?

I don't yet own the 7Q+ (I'm close to getting one soon), but I notice in the FS700's menu you can output raw at 4K 50P as well as record HD 25P internally. But will the 7Q+ take the 50P signal and record 4K at 25P in ProRes?

Ideally I want the 7Q+ to record 4K 50P ProRes, but I know that isn't possible at the moment. But on some shoots I'd like the option to use some shots at 50P (from the internal recording) that I can slow down 50% in post - and use the 4K 25P ProRes recordings from the 7Q+ for the majority of other shots.

But that does beg the often asked question - is it ever likely that 4K 50P ProRes (taken from the FS raw output) will be added to the functionality of the 7Q+? If you think it's never going to happen then please say, I'd like to know just the same.

Thank you.
 
No, the Odyssey7Q+ will not accept 4K50p to turn into 4K25P ProRes. In 4K ProRes recording it will consider it an "Unsupported Signal." We are currently working on 4K50p recording in compressed video. We believe it will be possible, but we do not have a timeline to share at this moment.
