A: According to Panasonic, the HDMI outputs images up to 4K 24p and UHD 60p/50p and is compatible with external recorders such as the ATOMOS Shogun. B&H offers other external recorders that should work such as those by Convergent Design and Video Devices.

Q: 10. Does anyone know a mountable camera monitor that is compatible with the hcx1? I've tried several from freeworld, to neewer, that say 4K compatible, however, The display only shows in the monitor when I lower the quality to UHD 1080p or lower quality.

A: This camcorder has the ability to output HDMI at up to 4k 60fps. While there are many monitors that accept 4k, it tends to be at only up to 30fps, not 60fps. Even a monitor like the Atomos Shinobi only accepts 4k30fps through HDMI, BH #ATSHINSDI. Having to lower the output quality would be the norm with most monitors. Keep in mind that 5 - 7" on camera monitors may accept a 4K signal, but the screen itself will only be HD quality. There really is no loss to setting the output to 1080p, which you can do while keeping the recording quality internally at 4K.
