four separate images). Tap A, B, C, or D buttons to select a single
input for full screen display. Inputs can be directly switched to
by selecting the corresponding button without need to scan through
other inputs. To return to Quad Split view, tap on the currently

Sony FS700
Record Option
FS700 4K->HD ProRes (4K2HD)
• 4K2HD in REC709 (800%)
