yeah... I know

last announcement for the Pyxis Monitor used with the Micro G2
I wish there would be another solution for connection, not just USB-C, for longer distances.

That would be very cool. I'd like to have a Micro 4k G2 on a gimble in an auditorium. To have full control from the av booth would be sweet.

... tell me how to do all the basic settings (in the 'deeper' Meneu - not the HUD Menu/Display) for the camera using Rest API over cable - as far as I saw, the REST API don't support those settings - and there is no App or Bluetooth connection.
By now it is only possible with the buttons on the camera - viewing the menu settings over HDMI.
And if there are problems with the HDMI, you are lost.

Look harder, it’s all there. There are only 1 or 2 funtions that aren’t available via the API. Further the API allows access to things like the color corrector that aren’t accessible thru the menus.

Has anyone tried this to see if it works as a hub with the MSC4KG2?

This doesn’t have a USBC Monitor Out, just an HDMI—so it defeats the purpose if you are trying to get it to work with the Pyxis Monitor.

I found another potential HUB for the Pyxis Monitor on the G2 and started rigging it too ^^ Really hoping update 9.7 gets released soon!

Almost. It needs a USB-C port with Display Port Alt mode support.

Time will tell, there’s no reason the interface couldn’t support UVC or some other low latency standard. Honestly alt-dp is a little thick datawise and doesn’t leave a ton of bandwith for recording, camera control, etc.,

Good Luck

It needs Display Alt DP since that is what the Pyxis Monitor uses. You can't use a Touchscreen with HDMI as it provides no control.

I wonder if they could add playback functionality via the pyxis monitor? This would be a great addition if they can sort out running both the monitor and capturing to ssd!

They probably could. It seems like on the new firmware either they added all the touchscreen features to the existing firmware or completely ported over the touchscreen firmware over.

I think this one is a winner when it comes to ports.

It supports video out via USB-C and the has a USB-C out port for data.

So apparently the older model had the video pass though the USB-c.
Think that might work?
