Panasonic should really fix this, by offering a 4k, or smaller signal out to HDMI at the same time. They've said before it won't be fixed.

rdollase Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi, I have read the discussion about some people having trouble with black 'pillar bars' with the Small HD monitor but I am having this problem with the Ninja Flame, when trying to record the GH5's 3328 x 2496 'anamorphic mode' signal...instead of a 3328 x 2496 recording, I get a 3840x 2160 recording with the image in a box in the middle with black bars on either side. Has anyone had this problem, or is anyone aware of what settings I may have wrong either on the recorder or the camera? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HDMI protocol doesn't support above 4K signal (same issue as previously in this thread and also on GH4). 2496 high is more than 2160 which is 4K spec that GH5/4 sends over HDMI for recording. see - https://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/4k.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, the actual pixel count is so similar. I'll probably use the Atomos' recording anyway, though smaller, because I like the way the pro res looks vs what the camera records.

I've seen quite a few tests that show internal recording on the GH5 is better quality than anything done on an external recorder (except maybe 10it 60fps, which it can't do internal). Something to keep in mind. When I used GH5 as my primary camera I just transcoded the footage to Prores later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
