D600 HDMI Color Depth

Spy_Black

Does anyone know the true color depth of the D600's HDMI output? I've read that it's uncompressed, but also that it's 4:2:2. Which is it? 4:2:2 is a compressed space AFAIK, because it's discarding color data. So is the HDMI port true uncompressed 4:4:4? Is there a quantifiable listed spec somewhere that confirms what the actual color depth of the HDMI port is? Now that there is a firmware fix that allows you full 1080P throughput, this data access point can be useful when doing bluescreen or greenscreen keying.

Thanks for any info on this.

There for I would believe it is as true as it can get.

Unfortunately it doesn't answer the colorspace issue, whether or not it's 4:4:4. This may simply be implying that it doesn't add ADDITIONAL MP4 compression.
