Title pretty much sums it up. I have an FS5 mK1 and an Atomos Shogun Inferno. I run SDI out to the Shogun Inferno and typically record in 4k Apple Pro-Res or Pro-Res Raw. For the life of me I can not figure out how to get the FS5 menu to display on the shogun inferno. This would be very helpful as I really have no need for the little crappy FS5 monitor (other than using it now to adjust anything in the menu). It would also be awesome to lose the little LCD while doing gimbal work. Has anyone figured out how to do this? I have researched all over online and some people have mentioned its possible and provided menu setting and I have adjusted just about every setting on the fs5 under the Video Out menus with still no results.
 
No I just want to be able to see the menu to be able to adjust things and then exit the menu the same way it pops up and goes away on the little lcd. I just really have no need for the additional lcd when I have a 7" 1500 nit recording monitor and I run the camera on a gimbal a lot and I would love to just leave the lcd at home.
 
I don't think that the SDI 4k raw signal contains menu info.

Although not ideal, running and HDMI cable into the Inferno you would be able to switch inputs and see menu. :/
 
You are probably right I just swore I saw somewhere that you can get full menu display output but it may have been via HDMI /1080p rather than SDI/4K Raw. That is probably the hang up as the SDI only send out raw transmission rather than the menu data. Really stinks the Shogun Inferno can be so good but you are still forced to use the stock LCD. Still loving the overall combo though.
 
Not sure if this is your exact problem but I think I just solved a similar issue with my FS5. I wanted to see the full LCD display on a TV (for an instructional presentation), and I couldn't get anything but Timecode to display externally.
It turns out, you have to have "Marker" set to OFF for full camera data to display externally. Once I set it to OFF, boom, all the camera data displayed on the TV.
