Atomos just released firmware version 8.11 for their flagship Shogun Inferno HDR monitor/4K recorder. This firmware takes care of some bugs with interlace-ing artifacts when panning with Sony camera and also adds support for the Panasonic GH5‘s 10bit output among other features. The Atomos Shogun Inferno does support 4K/60p recording from the Panasonic GH5 in either 10bit ProRes or DNxHR. 1080/60 is the maximum the GH5 will output to any recorder; frame rates from 60 to 180fps are only available internally in the GH5 unfortunately.
Nevertheless, Firmware Version 8.11 does add also support for BT.2020 in Custom mode on the Sony FS7 II and now supports the Sony PS4 Pro HDR output for high quality game recording for all you gamers out there.
