A: Yes the Shinobi monitor works very well with the Sony FX6. The FX6 is able to control the monitor output resolution and frame rate independently from the recording resolution and frame rate. For example, in a scenario where the monitor can only accept a 1080 60p video signal the FX6 will send a 1080 60p video signal to the monitor even if it is recording in 4K 120p. By default the camera will do this automatically.
