Atomos introduces a new generation of Ninja monitors

Atomos Ninja

Atomos is one of the most recognized brands in the content and film industry with its innovative products that enable creators to break through technological barriers and get more out of their equipment. In 2010 they revolutionized the DSLR filmmaker’s world with their Ninja monitor which combined a HD disk recorder with a touchscreen monitor that let the user capture uncompressed video to a removable SSD.

Today they launch a new generation of camera-mounted monitor-recorders: the new Ninja and Ninja Ultra.

Both models come in a sleek design with a 5-inch 1000nit HDR screen and a key component of both new Ninja models is the operating system, AtomOS 11. AtomOS 11 doesn't just make monitors faster and more responsive it also opens up a new world of features including EL Zone exposure referenced colorized image, ARRI False Color, and new scheduled playback & recording tools.

Both monitors also include more codecs as standard: 6K ProRes RAW, ProRes, DNxHD, and H.265 (previously available as a paid option). Both Ninjas are also backwards compatible with Ninja V and Ninja V+, so all Atomos and third-party accessories can be used with the new products.

While the Ninja is targeted primarily at owners of DSLR and mirrorless cameras, Ninja Ultra is built to get the most out of camera to cloud technology and leans more into cinematic workflows. It can record full-quality files to ProRes RAW up to 4K 60p while at the same time recording HD 60p to H.265, and supports automatic matching filenames, timecode and record trigger from many different models of ARRI, Canon, Sony and RED cameras.

Ninja Ultra’s new 4K camera to cloud mode lets you record and upload much higher quality bitrate

H.265 video with higher framerates. H.265 files are half the size of H.264 media. They’re small enough for camera to cloud workflows but more than good enough for immediate use on social media, sports reporting or news gathering.

Both monitors are compatible with Atomos Connect expansion module that enables Atomos RemoteView - a brand new technology that is a total game-changer for remote production, offering many new features never seen before. It lets you share live views from your Atomos screen with other Atomos monitors, as well as with iPads, Macs and Apple TVs wirelessly. You can monitor what’s happening on-set and look through any connected camera taking the shot, from anywhere in the world. Ninja Ultra is a leap forward in filmaking technology. You get all of Ninja's monitoring/recording tools and capabilities, but in conjunction with the Atomos Connect, it opens up a host of ultra-efficient cloud workflows, including dual record ProRes RAW/H.265 for Camera to Cloud, automated matching filenames with cinematic cameras and 4K H.265 for instant publishing from the cloud.
