I'm hearing rumors that Panasonic may be announcing this patch at InterBEE which is November 19th-21 with the actual patch being released shortly afterwards, again fingers crossed!

This from Patrick from Atomos on their Shogun forum, in relation to a firmware upgrade that will fix HDMI issues

Haven't we already answered this on the Facebook user's page?

Any date of Availability?

Atomos Shogun 4K recorder will start shipping on the 24/25th of November

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for the positive comments and support we receive on a daily basis for Shogun. It is truly overwhelming.

To all those at recent events and trade shows excited to see the Shogun first-hand and the filmmakers who are eagerly waiting for the Shogun to unlock the potential of their 4K camera, we thank you for your support. In particular to those who have made official pre-orders on Shogun we value your loyalty and have worked with our resellers to ensure the initial batch of Shogun units are shipped to you first.

With the original launch date now passing, I felt it was important to personally address where we are at with the release of Shogun. In terms of hardware, we have closely monitored the build of the first production units and are proud of the manufacturing quality. There is nothing preventing us from shipping the Shogun and its accessories from a hardware perspective. Although the Shoguns are physically built and ready to ship, the firmware is taking longer than expected to finalize taking into account our high standards of reliability.

We know that the cornerstone of our success in the last 4 years has been delivering the technology professionals need at the right time & price without any sacrifice for reliability & performance in the field. So while we feel everyone’s pressure to have Shogun available, we refuse to release a single sub-standard Atomos feature. We will not treat our community of users as Beta testers and will not release the Shogun until the standard we are famous for has been met.

We absolutely understand everyone’s disappointment and appreciate that many shoots have been planned around the Shogun becoming available. We ask that you continue to be patient as we finalize our firmware and release a product that will be worth the wait.

We expect the product will be delivered within days of the final firmware becoming available and expect all back orders to customers to be fulfilled by Christmas.

Thank you to our community of Atomos users, our team continues to be inspired to make better products based on your creativity and feedback.

Thing is, initial response can bury the products. No one will dig into big negative feedback mass.

Some UHD GH4 10bit 422 test footage would be appreciated...

That is the annoying thing, as a colorist and an owner of the gh4 i really am curious to see how much a difference the 10 bit 4:2:2 makes if they would just shoot 10 seconds of a color chart at each iso and share the raw footage i would be estatic

Well, then why didn't they make a recorder? Sony seems to be introducing a new camera nearly every other day, why not a decently priced recorder? They must have many more engineers than Atomos.

its now finally out:

Who the heck has set up his microphone?

But the feature set is impressive!

Where's the GH4 Dec firmware update that's supposed to address HDMI issues?

this was the answer in a german forum discussion yesterday. but in in the meanwhile i did some further testing and others too: the HDMI lag of the GH4 is not more then 3-5 frames, but in the actual shogun product demonstration you can count 9 frames. :( the gh4 update is protracted till january. they are working on HDMI timecode embeding etc. i hope, they will also fix some other well known synch issues of the GH4 simultaneously.
