För den som är intresserad av att veta vad BMD svarade så kommer det här :-)
Our Mini Converters would only support outputting the same formats as they do not use HDMI 2.0.
The Teranex Mini converters are the only converters we produce to use HDMI 2.0.
Please note that the SDI output of the DeckLink Studio 4K is a maximum of 6G.
This means that any 4K formats will also use YUV 4:2:2 color sampling as there is not enough bandwidth over 6G to use RGB 4:4:4.
You would need to use a DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G in order to output 4K RGB 4:4:4 however this card supports 8, 10, 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 in all modes up to UHD 30p, and 8, 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 in all modes above this.
This means that any 4Kp50/60 content will always be sampled as YUV 4:2:2.
As noted on the HDMI website, 4Kp50/60 at 12 bit is only supported for 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 color sampling as per the HDMI specification.
