Sony FX6

You can connect to Sony FX6 camera via cabled Ethernet or Wifi. We strongly suggest to use cabled Ethernet.

Wired LAN setup

You need to enable Wired LAN in the camera settings:
• Menu > Network > Wired LAN = ON

Also, you must set a static IP address:
• DHCP = OFF
• Enter static IP / Subnet / Gateway

USB-C to Ethernet adaptor

To use cabled Ethernet, you need a "USB-C to Ethernet adaptor".
It is critical that you use an adaptor with compatible chip-set:

  • Realtek TRL8153
  • AX88179

Note: There are many other adaptors not working. They can even crash the FX6. This includes a chip-set with similar name; AX88179A - (has an A at the end) which does NOT work.

Here is an example of a working adaptor (from a Danish webshop):

Multiple cameras

At the moment, the core can only control one camera at a time. A work around for this, is to use multiple Blue Pills, and have reactor running on one of them, connecting to the local cores on the individual Blue Pill.
