FS5: Sony FS5 and Atomos Shogun RAW skipping frames

skimmel

Well-known member
Hi, I rented an FS5 to try out raw recording to Atomos Shogun Inferno. I have most recent firmware, using a G-tech approved drive. When I try to record DNG Raw, the Shogun keeps skipping frames (I get the skippy kangaroo icon). I've tried 3 different SDI cables, which are supposed to be rated for 3G SDI.

Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?

Thanks.
 
According to Atomos' support chart, the G-Technology SSDs have the highest amount of drives that have either been untested or have failed (red dot...but they don't tell you which one) at certain resolutions/framerates:

Only the Angelbirds (besides 1 test for 1 SSD) and all of the Sonys appear to be flawless:
