Portkeys Monitor Not Able To Connect

I Was Not Able To Connect To Lumix Gh5 . Even With Cable Or Wireless Was Not Able To Connect With Two B&H Agents.

Unfortunately, the onscreen overlay is right over the overlay on the Z-Cam menu, so it covers it up and makes it hard to work with. I'll probably just end up using it as a normal monitor and not worry so much about the camera controls. It's a nice monitor overall.
