Lemo-To-Pogo Connector Placement w/ HDMI?

[Anthony Berenato Jr]

Hey all,

I was wondering if someone with a Weapon and a Lemo kit would mind testing if the side Pogo Connector (when in use by itself) can be converted to Lemo while still using HDMI out, instead of the top. I'm in the middle of planning my accessories for the switch, and I'm just trying to determine if I'll need a longer Lemo cable for my Touch LCD screen.

In the Weapon support document, it mentions that the side Pogo connector stops the use of HDMI out (when two screens are plugged in, I believe). I was wondering if HDMI was still cut off by using this side connector when only one screen is plugged in / one Pogo connector is used. I tend to use HDMI for wireless video in my setup (along with an SDI screen for the assistant), but would really love to have that Lemo connector located right next to my side of camera for ease.

Thanks !

I may have answered my own question. Reread the Operations Guide and noticed a little better wording than I remembered:

"Select to enable either the secondary LCD/EVF port on the camera or the HDMI port on an expander. The secondary LCD/EVF port and the HDMI port cannot be used at the same time."

There's an actual option to enable the port or the HDMI out. Seems like I'll be in the running for a longer Lemo cable.

That's a little disappointing, could have gotten a extra production monitor
