And just to wrap up this thread... Camera guys spent an afternoon
trying to get the 7q with its new firmware to record the GH4's 1080p60
signal. I believe they needed to have an SDI to HDMI adapter in the
mix. No luck, unfortunately. The 7q would recognize the 1080p60 signal
briefly, then switch over to 1080p30.
So in practice, this doesn't seem to be working perfectly yet.
Cheers,
