RAW bit - 12 or 16 bit?

I have not seen any clarification if the camera is a 12 or 16 bit camera?  @young can you clarify? 

Thanks!

Checking the RAW clip/DNG file, it appears to be a 16 bit file - thought I noticed a post from the @admin 11 days ago that said “This data is then packaged and stored as a 10-bit file.”

Thank you for your question. The data is indeed stored internally in the camera as a 10-bit format.

Using our official free software, Pixboom Cine, this format can be converted into CinemaDNG for easier processing. CinemaDNG is a 16-bit standard format, but the conversion from 10-bit to 16-bit does not result in any changes or loss to the original data—it’s simply a difference in the storage structure.

Hope this helps clarify things!

And where can we download the software? I have some .pxcb files that I cannot use and would love to be able to see them.
