Has it been stated if Hypergamma and S-Log will be available out the standard HD-SDI or are those curves only relegated to the dual link HD-SDI?
 
Joe you should ask your question in the "Painter - F3 short" thread. Nigel would be able to answer that as he used the camera to a degree that no one else has in the public to date.
 
Something is up with Alister's site. Most of the posts for this year have disappeared, including the ones listed above.
