It doesn't say anything in the 170 documentation posted on Panasonic.
Does anyone know?

The output is either 720/59.94p or 1080/59.94i. If you're shooting 1080/24 it will be output embedded in a 59.94i signal.

The output can also be set to 480/59.94i if you want to output an SD signal.

I was afraid of that. Is this firmware patchable (like the EX1 was for HD-SDI)? Don't know why they'd bother with embedded audio and timecode without proper frame controls.
Thanks Barry.
