4K monitoring from Weapon?

[Jeff McCoy]

Is there going to be a way (module) to monitor 4K from a Weapon?

It's been mentioned before there would be some solution incoming.

Likely much like the REDCAST Module for Epic and Scarlet (which just got a swanky HDR monitoring update), I'm expecting the same if not more from the Weapon version of such a module.

Personally I'm hoping for the 4X SDI out, Sync, TC, and perhaps 2X TA3 XLRs stashed somewhere with the ability to handle up to 8K down sampling to 4K out at 60p.

I would also like to see the inclusion of HDMI 2.0 on there. This will be desired for some applications.

And yep, a bit down the line there will need to be an 8K out solution, but we are a ways from that being totally need just yet.

I'd be excited to see a thinner module with just a 4K HDMI out @30p with embedded audio. This would allow inexpensive realtime 4K monitoring with any inexpensive consumer-grade UHD TV for the more basic setups.
Then maybe a larger "Pro" 4K Redcast module with SDI, Sync, TC, XLR, etc. (like Phil described) for the "studio" setups.
