Will be adding this to my LT tonight.

Odyssey 7Q/7Q+ (Convergent desing) needs to be upgraded to receive VRAW, too.

Atomos inferno should support this too

The link to the operating manual on the resources page hasn't been updated...there's no mention of the RAW capability in the 3.0 version that the link takes you to.
As an owner, I'm interested in how to get the RAW out of the camera and into my PIX-E7...Currently (before firmware update), the only video that is delivered at the SDI outputs is 1080p. For a camera that records 4K, I was hoping for an output stream of 4K, as well...

Check the manual to see if the camera outputs 4K in its current state. It's crazy to think it wouldn't, but it's a possibility.

I'm sure you would just like a 4K signal, but as far as RAW is concerned, the SD monitors/recorders currently do not support RAW recording.

 

[Director Doug]

...believe me, I checked... it's downconverted 'Full HD,' only...

no linear 4K out only raw 4K with todays firmware, update

also the PIX recorders do NOT do RAW recording to my knowledge your options for RAW will be the Convergent design and the ATOMOS Inferno if they have added VRAW to it, I Know currently the ATOMOS products have the Sony RAW in BETA but their product site mentions Varicam Raw should be available on the ATOMOS inferno

As announced previously, we will be adding support for the VariCamLT RAW output.

Updated the Varicam LT: 4K RAW 12bit @ 60fps and 4K RAW 10bit @ 60fps.

Just waiting on the 7Q+ update!

I have heard that we can expect the 7Q+ update near the end of the month.
