10 Bit ProRes 422 possible in-camera?

[kyrobb]

I have read in the forums that it's a separate chip that does the H.264 compression for video. Given that, is it possible to reprogram that chip to have a proper in-camera 10 Bit ProRes 422 compression? What would be the problems or obstacles with this idea?

No

What would be the problems or obstacles with this idea?

It's impossible to rearrange transistors once they've been fabricated
