Video Assist + Panasonic S5IIX

Just got the Panasonic S5IIX as my B-camera. Super excited to use it to record BRAW.

Plugged everything in, but I'm not getting a signal. Nothing appears on the monitor, other than the display info. My SmallHD monitor, however, works fine.

Is this because Panasonic hasn't released the firmware update yet allowing for RAW data output over HDMI? I mean, I get that I cannot record until the firmware update comes out (June 13th), but shouldn't I at least be able to use the video assist as a viewing monitor, like the SmallHD?

S5II 2.0 firmware features:

New functions and options to be available with the Upgrade Software Key DMW-SFU2
An [Activation] function has been added which enables the use of extended functions using the Upgrade Software Key DMW-SFU2. The following functions will be added by activating the Upgrade Software Key.
