Cinetronic Gen 2 monitor compatibility with Sony F55 camera

What the thread found

  • The F55 camera outputs PSF format in most recording modes, requiring signal conversion to work with the Cinetronic Gen 2 monitor.
  • A Decimator MD Cross converter can convert PSF signals to a format compatible with the Cinetronic Gen 2.
  • The AXS-R5 external recorder attached to the F55 has an AUX OUT connection that outputs HD-SDI S-log signal readable by the Cinetronic Gen 2 monitor.
  • The AUX OUT on the AXS-R5 recorder does not function during high frame rate or slow motion recording modes.

Depends on

  • The AUX OUT workaround only applies when using the external AXS-R5 recorder, not the camera alone.
  • High frame rate and slow motion modes disable the AUX OUT output option.
  • The workaround discussion references an older camera firmware version and may not reflect current F55 behavior.
  • No clear confirmation whether firmware updates to the F55 resolved the original PSF compatibility issue.
