Thank you for your replies.

The Ninja2 and/or Odyssey7 (OLED) even with the high cost would serve it's purpose as a on-camera external field monitor on many video cameras. 

Can the Atomos Ninja2 be used on the 5D Mark III using Magic Lantern RAW recording on the camera's CF card and record 8 bit prores HD via HDMI on the Ninja2 so you we can have playback of the recording?

Hoping you can give us feedback on this.

So whats wrong with Capturing the 1080i 29.97 YCbCr 8Bit ?
I have my zacuto evf from 5d2 pass-though to atomos ninja hdmi recorder, not overlays
to prores 10bit 422HQ. Then do a reverse telecine to 23.98p there you have your Backup!
If you did not know there is a 24p stream embedded in the 60i Stream 
link to a video i did about the HDMI capture while recording raw at the same Time.

 
This kind of workflow is needed if you want to use your camera on a professionally Set.
you can review your shots, or have daily's on a feature plus connect to a video Village with hdmi to sdi converter.
It's not raw but its still a Great image to work with if raw Fails.

You can remove overlay in the menu settings.

I have been using a HDMI monitor for real time monitoring near the camera but haven't figured out to make  the HDMI out of the monitor work to output to another HDMI monitor (Director) and likewise have a recorded copy of the output. It starts to display errors.

Having an Atomos Ninja2 succesfully record the files via  HDMI output, with or without overlays,  would already be a BIG breakthrough and serve it's purpose for professional work as the Director, client and agency can now have VTR playback of the recorded clips via the Ninja2 or Odyssey7 drives.

I would like to hear confirmation from Ninja2 or Odyssey7 owners if HDMI recording even just for playback purposes actually work while recording RAW to the CF cards.

buying Atomos ninja to record useless footage with overlay information is absurd. Until ML is updated to newer version of firmware, buying Atomos is out of the posibilities.


What about recording h264 on secondary SD card. I still don't get it, why there isn't a function to make double recording (RAW doesn't use any processor, and SD card is unused by any writing to it). You can then check what you recorded through h264 videos.

Is there a way to toggle off the display of the OSD ( # frames, write speed meter) from SD/HDMI outputs so we can record cleaner video outputs for director or client playback?
