both models can record HD video to Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD codecs with a range of
bit rates. Blackmagic Video Assist 4K also lets you choose ProRes and DNxHR codecs for
Ultra HD recording.
ProRes codecs are recorded as QuickTime files. DNx files can be recorded as QuickTime or
native MXF files. Refer to the table in this section for more details regarding the codec options.
