Recording and broadcasting 4k through HDMI? AX100, FDR-AX700, etc.

Hi. I'm researching the limitations of the AX100 and the FDR-AX700.

I need to be able to broadcast a 4K transmission at 40 MBPs. Can either of those cameras do it? I heard they only broadcast 4K through wireless and the HDMI output gets disabled because the processor can't handle it.

If that is the case, what camera would you recommend?

Hello @ZwoopMugen,

definetly don't go for the FDR AX100, since it can only output a HDMI signal when recording 1080p.

The FDR AX700 can output 4K via HDMI even if you're recording, but you can't use the cameras LC-Display (flip out screen) at the same time.

For broadcasting I would use a PC with OBS and as video grabber I would use a Elgato Camlink 4K.
