simon_hsn Posted January 24, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, On my SL (601) I am faced with the following issue: “[...] If there are SD cards in the camera, it will use the 8-bit codecs, regardless of whether an HDMI connection is in use. If there are no cards the signal will go out over HDMI in 10-bit depth. So take them out. This makes sense to me. I don't see how the camera would have the capacity to run both codecs simultaneously.” The topic has been already discussed here: Can anyone share their experience on that matter with the SL2-S? - Do you have to take out the SD cards to get better external recording quality? - Does the camera simultanously record, when the SD cards are in the camera while using an external recorder?

It doesn't apply to the current firmware. You can record 10-bit over HDMI with the SL if you trigger from the recorder (not the camera). The camera doesn't record to the card, so it doesn't need to convert to 8-bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
