So wouldn’t the video still be limited to 1,024 steps vs the 4,096 offered by actual 12-bit RAW and above? (we already know that 6K is off the table with the HDMI connection) So in summary, it seems that Panasonic and Atomos are just giving you 4:2:2, 10-bit video with a massive file size and calling it RAW. The S1H claims to be able to shoot 6K video in 4:2:2 10-bit, but RAW should be at least 12-bit. But last I checked, HDMI is limited to 4K 4:2:2 video, so wouldn’t you just be getting 4:2:2 video in a 4:4:4 container? Same goes with the Bit depth. SO, Panasonic is claiming you can record RAW video with the S1H over HDMI to a Ninja Recorder. RED’s have insane 16bit sensors I believe.) ProRes, usually, is 4:2:2 video/using chroma subsampling, (pixels using equations for what the green levels are based on red and blue, and then calculating luminosity separately) and utilizes a bitrate of either 8 or 10. Here’s what I (think I) know, please let me know if any of it is innacurate: RAW video, in its truest sense, is 4:4:4 video/no chroma subsampling, (all pixels providing individual values for Red, Green Blue, and luminosity) and has a higher bitrate, (higher than 10, depending on the strength of the camera. But as I look more into it, I’m wondering if I’m missing something really big, or a new feature or something, or if Panasonic/Atomos are kinda just pulling the wool. Obviously a lot of heads turned (mine included) when they heard that there’s suddenly a “full frame, 4k RAW camera” out there, especially at that price point. So Panasonic and Atomos made a lot of noise about how the Panasonic S1H would "be able to record 4k RAW video with the Atoms Ninja V” with this new ProRes RAW codec.
