Thanks for the responses.
I have since learned that there’s nothing really special about the HDMI feed or the video coming out of the Sony A99.
It’s pretty much identical to the HDMI feed coming out of the Nikons with HDMI out, like the Nikon D800.
I’m sticking with my original plan then.. I have a Black Magic cinema camera on backorder currently, going to wait that out.
Thanks again,
Daniel Lowe
