Sony Europe's Head of Pro Audio Markus Warlich tells CineD that true 32-bit float recording requires two stacked 24-bit converters, and at least one manufacturer has shipped a 24-bit system rebranded as 32-bit float via a software update. He also flags that the UHF band has shrunk by roughly half since 2012 and cannot be guaranteed beyond 2031.
