Connecting Sony F55 camera to Cinetronic 2 monitor at 23.997fps

What the thread found

  • The Cinetronic 2 monitor does not accept PSF signals, which the Sony F55 camera outputs.
  • A Decimator MD-HX converter can convert PSF to progressive signals, allowing HD viewing on the Cinetronic 2, though it converts to SD resolution.
  • The Sony F55 AXS-R5 recorder has an AUX output on its BNC connector that can be configured through camera menu settings.
  • An Atomos Connect with pull-down removal function can solve compatibility issues between Sony cameras and Cinetronic monitors while maintaining HD image quality.
  • The Atomos Connect SDI to HDMI converter can be mounted on the monitor sled, and the HDMI to SDI version can mount directly on the camera.

Depends on

  • The Decimator solution results in SD resolution output rather than HD.
  • The Sony F55 test output from the recorder is in raw format without camera settings or record indicators.
  • Camera menu output settings may need adjustment to work properly with converters.
  • The Atomos Connect solution was described as affordable at the time but specifics on current availability are not provided.
