Fábio Pinto Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have an Atomos Assassin recorder and I'm thinking about buying a FS700. I know the FS700 only outputs 4k signal over SDI and the Assassin only records over HDMI. But what if I use a Blackmagic SDI to HDMI 4k converter? Will it work? Anyone tried this?

jagnje Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I use those adapters daily. not for 4k, but I don`t see how that could be any different. works as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I haven't upgraded our FS700 for 4K RAW, however you need an FS700 with the RAW upgrade (or FS700R), and a recorder which can handle the 4K RAW output, such as an O7Q+ (if you need 4K 60p) or Atomos Shogun (physically more fragile, but appears to be a more reliable/polished product vs. the O7Q+, + drives are much cheaper).

Very reliable and polished… I've used it on tons of shoots with no problems. Great monitor. The built in LUTs work very well. Not only does the 7Q give you 4k/60p/Pro Res, it also does 120fps in bursts at 4k, and 240fps at 2k. The FS700 can be extremely tough to get natural colors out of… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I shot with the FS700 (internal 24Mbps 1080p, 240fps), it worked pretty well color-wise (using a custom profile; all the 'black angel' shots are FS700, the rest are A7S and the cemetery is iPhone 6):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6OoUMiij9A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fábio Pinto Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 So in theory it should work, right? I never worked with FS700 4k Raw and I wasn't sure it would output the 4k raw signal with a converter between it and the recorder, or if the recorder would recognize the signal coming from a converter and not directly from the camera.
