You can only select the SStP SR 422
codecs when the camera is in YPbPr
mode and you can only select SStP
444 when in RGB mode. You cannot
use SStP and RAW with the R5 at the
same time. (System – Base Setting
– Main Operation – YPbPr or RGB).
You can only use the cameras built in
waveform and histogram options
when you the Sub SDI is enabled.
(Video – Output – SDI SUB).
In addition the waveform will only
display when the LUT settings for the
VF output and Sub SDI output are the
same, either LUT ON for both or LUT
OFF for both. (Video – Monitor LUT
– Sub&HDMI PLUS Viewfinder)
From firmware V3 onwards you
should be able to turn the SDI SUB
display overlay ON/OFF from the side
panel by pressing the "CAMERA"
button one or two times to get to the
page where SDI(Sub)Disp is shown in
the bottom left corner.
Otherwise do the following:
Turn the camera off then back on.
Press the menu button once.
Slowly turn the Sel/Set knob 11 clicks
clockwise (10 clicks for earlier
firmware versions).
Press in the Sel/Set Knob.
Turn it a further 15 clicks clockwise.
Press the Sel/Set Knob twice.
Turn it anti clockwise one click.
Pess the Sel/Set knob.
The camera should reset.
You should then have text overlays
on the SUB HDSDI output.
