GH3 Help, external monitor receives 'no signal' from the GH3...

Thanks in advance for your efforts to help me.

I just bought 2 monitors from Seetec. This one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SEETEC-Inpu...TF8&qid=1395238621&sr=8-1&keywords=seetec+5.6

As you can see it is designed to work with several Canon, Nikon and Sony camera's. That's why I could suppose it should also work with the Panasonic GH3.

When I connect the monitor to the camera, I get a 'no signal' message whatever I do.
The strange thing is that, when I go to 'playback' mode on the camera and play back some old recorded clips, the monitor receives the signal and works!

So this rules out that the monitor or cable is broken. I have almost no settings to play with on the monitor. On the GH3 I tried different framerates, shutter speeds and turned Vierra Link on and off. Nothing seems to help.

Am I missing something? Do you have any idea why this might happen?

Thanks!!
 
do you have a TV with HDMI - do you get a live feed to the TV?

Hmm.. sounds like you have tried all the options... :(

For my ninja I have to set it to [Auto] and VieraLink [Off].

Set to 1080p30 AVCHD
Set to HDMI to [Auto]
Set 3D to [Off]
Set VieraLink to [Off]

1. Turn off camera and monitor
2. Connect hdmi cables,
3. Turn on Monitor
4. Turn on Camera

See if that works.

Thanks for your help. Really appreciated.

I tried your settings, but it didn't work. I've tried all other settings in the 'Output' option in the menu. Trying to send out an NTSC signal, 1080p and 1080i, does not make any difference.
And it doesn't matter in which 'mode' I am, whenever I go to playback mode the monitor immediately receives a signal and outputs the recorded clips just fine...
 
Breaking news (for me)

I randomly got it to work. I was just messing around with the buttons and it suddenly worked...

So when I turn on the camera and the monitor, I first have to go to playback mode on the camera so the monitor gets the signal. Then I have to press 'Camera' on the monitor and quickly change the camera back to live view / recording mode.

Then I have a signal and output on the monitor :D


Very strange, but at least it works. Topic can be closed if it would be up to me. Thanks anyway!
