> The simple question is - "is there a way to get true uncompressed live view data out of the HDMI interface - WITHOUT the 5% Black border it currently has?"

Thank you

You can add me to the list of disgruntled purchasers! Same black border when going to my BlackMagic HyperDeck Shuttle! Have written to Nikon complaining and pointing out their false advertising ... Will share updates as I get them

I am also experiencing the same issue. I use a Blackmagic mini converter to go from HDMI to HD-SDI and record on to a Flash XDR.

I have emailed Nikon about it. They have asked to see an example. I've sent them a file and so I'm just waiting to hear back now.

They sell it as having a clean HDMI output, but if it has a black box around it, it can't be called a clean output surely!

Thom Hogan mentioned the 95% HDMI output on his site the other day. Apparently is waiting to hear back from Nikon directly on this.

I am having the same issue. I put calls into Nikon and Atomos, even though I'm pretty sure this is a Nikon issue. Please update if you have any further info.

I'm wondering if any of you own a D600 and an external HDMI recorder. I'm trying to ascertain whether or not the D600 is the culprit in adding a black border to the videos which I'm recording to the Ninja 2 (95% output instead of 100%). If you have the HDS, Ninja, Pix, or any other external HDMI recorder, can you please respond with your own results?

Am I able to post a link on this forum to my blogpost on this issue? Seems a dicey endeavor if I recall correctly...
