FX6 won’t output RAW to Ninja TX Go
Sony FX6 (Firmware V6.00) + brand new Atomos Ninja TX Go.
I’m trying to record ProRes RAW over HDMI and have narrowed the issue down quite a bit.
What I’ve verified:
● FX6 firmware V6.00
● Factory reset performed
● Ninja TX Go is brand new
● Same HDMI cable works with my A7S III
● Ninja correctly identifies the FX6 as “ILME-FX6V”
● FX6 enters “RAW (HDMI) + XAVC-I” mode
● Top of FX6 screen shows “RAW Stby”
Interesting behavior:
When the FX6 is in RAW (HDMI) + XAVC-I mode and I go to:
Monitoring → Output On/Off
Both SDI and HDMI are greyed out and show OFF. The camera displays “RAW Stby” at the top of the screen.
On the Ninja TX Go:
● Camera is identified as SONY ILME-FX6V
● Signal is detected
● Input shows “HDMI Standard”
● Red “NOT RAW” indicator remains active
Additional clue:
If I set Monitoring Output Format to QFHD (3840x2160), the Ninja often loses signal entirely and shows NO INPUT.
For comparison:
Using the exact same Ninja TX Go and exact same HDMI cable, my A7S III is recognized properly and does not show the NOT RAW warning.
Has anyone run into an FX6 entering RAW HDMI mode but the Ninja never recognizing the stream as RAW? Is there a specific FX6 RAW output setting I’m missing, or does this point toward an HDMI hardware/handshake issue?
I’m pretty dang frustrated this won’t work when I’ve seen it work on other folk’s FX6/Ninja
