|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Live post review (editorial, HDR color) WF-13 |
Not suitable | — | — | The existing use_case row maps the RF-X fibre output to WF-13 (live post review), but the source sentence is about on-set DIT carts and video village (WF-09); RF-X has no cloud or IP path. | — |
| Wireless camera control and live color WF-10 |
Not suitable | — | — | RF-X switches SDI video; it carries no camera-control or LUT data link of its own. | — |
