R5 with Atomos Shinobi 5" will not playback video files

Does anyone here use the Atomos Shinobi 5" 4K monitor for video on an R5 or R6?

After recording some footage are you you able to playback the recorded video files on the Shinobi monitor? I am not.

In order to playback my video files I have to disconnect the Shinobi and review the video files in the R5's LCD.

What you're experience with this setup? Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,
Rudy

Hey Mate,

I had the same issue with my R6 don't know if the fix is the same, but take the HDMI resolution off Auto and change it to 1080p. On the R6 it's SET UP4.

Hope that helps

Wow, it works now! Thanks so much OXDmedia. I was aware of the need to see t to 1080p and not but I could never get it working because I needed to trigger the play button internally from the camera, which I have as the Set button. However, this time I pressed the set button twice and not just once and the video began to playback on the Shinobi. A HUGE thanks to you Mate!

Cheers,
Rudy
