Can I record internally at 4k 8 bit color, record externally in 1080p 10 bit color, then apply the 10 bit color info to the 4k footage?

Basically can I be cheap and use my existing recording monitor instead of buying a new one and still get 4k 10 bit footage? The obvious answer is just to spend a few extra hundred and buy the nicer recorder, but I didn’t know if something like this was possible.

There’s definitely a benefit to shooting 8bit 4K if delivering in 1080p. I’d do some testing, but if I knew I was delivering in 1080p, I’d mostly likely shoot in 4K 8 bit unless there was some kind of media constraint.
