So I can have 4K input and recording up to 60fps 4K?Am I right or I can't make it happen?

A: There is a P-Tap cable for this product, it is B&H # COXPAJA5. However the Sony A7SII only outputs UHD 4K at 30fps. This product will not change that, nor are we aware of any product that will allow you to get 60fps out of the A7SII.
