I heard that the BGH1 doesn't output anamorphic desqueeze over HDMI. Dows it output it over the 3G-SDI ?
Asked by: Jeremie
I got this answer from Panasonic. "Hello! I was passed you’re question regarding the BGH1 regarding Anamorphic De-Squeeze capabilities. So, Anamorphic de-squeeze is available over 3G-SDI. It is also available over Ethernet and USB when connected to the Multicam app. You can also send out Anamorphic de-squeeze over USB-C using the LUMIX Webcam drivers. Sending a De-Squeezed image over HDMI while recording is NOT possible. This is a limit of the HDMI spec based on the video signal being sent in spec. De-Squeezed video CAN be played back over HDMI since it is being processed to fit within the HDMI spec (Similar to how USB can send the video de-squeezed)"
