The GH2 has clean HDMI out with a Ninja

Seemingly the GH2 does have clean HDMI out?

Can this be true 8b it 4.2.2 or is there a catch?

No news. It's known to work, also before 1.1 The signal is progressive (although it says "1080i", same as the HBR-"i"), but it is 8bit, 4:2:0.

Thanks for the info Axel.

I don't think there can be much of an advantage using the ninja as you end up with 8 bit 4.2.0 You can't use ex tele and with driftwoods NEW hacks I'm better off.
