ATOMOS Ninja V Monitor

Product Information

Aspect Ratio – Both devices offer multiple aspect ratios however the Shinobi handles this better. The Ninja V displays a white line over the left and right sides of the frame covering part of the image whereas the Shinobi does not do this. The Ninja has more options though, including a 3×3 grid. Note: Due to the large number of streaming and social media platforms that accept custom RTMP sources for live streaming, it is not possible to test every available option. Please take a look at our FAQ article that lists the platforms that have been tested so far, and don't hesitate to reach out to our support team if a streaming platform you'd like to use isn't available. https://atomos.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/205529868-Setup-connectivity I’ve been using the AndyCine Lunchbox caddies which take M-Sata drives removed from 1TB Samsung T5 Drives. It’s quite scary taking a perfectly good T5 drive apart but I like this more compact solution and so far it has been working reliably. The new firmware update also enables users to manage the fan speed of the Ninja V and Ninja V+, a frequent request from customers. The ability to record up to 8K using advanced edit-ready formats including ProRes RAW, ProRes, and DNxHD/HR requires fast, robust, and expansive storage. Ninja V+ supports removable SSD drives which provide the space and sustained performance to meet these needs. AtomX SSDmini drives are more compact than standard SATA SSDs and offer an affordable alternative to an SD card of similar capacity or performance. They support up to 4TB storage, sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 500MB/s. The AtomX SSDmini drives are able to record up to 150 minutes of 4K ProRes. Measuring 8cm long, 7.5cm wide and weighing as little as 88g, the custom-built drive neatly fits into the Ninja V without impacting the overall footprint of the device.

I’ve already covered LUTs, but again it’s a major advantage and with the options, you can either preview the footage with the LUT applied or baked it in. Setup custom frame guide overlays to preview how images will look when cropped to meet specific or unique requirements.Network Record Control is not available when H.265 is selected as the record format when using the AtomX SYNC Module or Atomos CONNECT accessory. And now many of the latest mirrorless cameras can output a Raw video signal which the Atomos can save as ProRes Raw direct from the camera, the difference is stunning. If you have been brought up shooting Raw on stills camera and are used to the quality and control they give you, then prepare to be amazed as the video version offers exactly the same benefits. At the bottom of the Ninja V is the AtomXpand port which is partly hidden under the battery compartment. This accepts a whole range of Atomos expansion modules and supports up to 4K 60p and 12-channels digital 24-bit 96KHz audio.The first modules to be released are the AtomX Sync and AtomX SDI. When considering whether you should be shooting content in H.265, you need to ask yourself the following questions: In terms of capture, virtually any HDMI or SDI source is supported, including cameras from Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Z-Cam, Olympus, RED and ARRI. RAW Over HDMI Every detail, meticulously preserved

False colour – Both devices have the False Colour feature but again the Shinobi seems higher resolution with finer edge detail than the Ninja. The Ninja V does have a more detailed IRE scale however. Likewise, a full-sized HDMI to micro HDMI cable is also widely available. You can get an official Atomos cable, but from experience I’ve found buy a decent quality alternative rather than the AAtomos branded version, they’re a lot cheaper and tend to be better quality. And for HDR, Log shooting or anamorphic, it offers far more control and accuracy than you could ever get out of the camera itself. The Ninja V doesn’t handle LUT’s in the same way. When applied a LUT still shows how the image will be effected but it also effects the exposure tools including the waveforms, scopes and the false colour display. This means that by using a lut you can no longer trust the exposure tools on the Ninja V.Another option here is the side by side preview, so you can see exactly how the LUT effects the shot, all very clever. Ninja V is a stand-alone system for 4k UHD, HDR and high frame rate capture that eliminates expensive, complicated and unreliable PC setups. Ninja V enables simple recording, monitoring and instant review. Capture every detail in HDR and automatically include all the correct HDR flags ready for upload to YouTube. Ideal for games development testing, pre-release capture sessions or just to show of your skills! ATOMX SYNC Making multi-camera mainstream To mount it to your camera or rig, the top and bottom of the unit has the ARRI 2-pin 3/8″ accessory mounts so you can buy the right connector to stop the unit twisting. There are a few reasons that the Atomos Ninja V has become such a must-have accessory amongst the film making community. Features are obvious, but it’s the build and handling that makes this both easy to use and useful in the film making process. To save space and support longer recordings, many cameras record compressed 4:2:0 8-bit video internally. If the camera is able to output video via HDMI, the quality can often be preserved in a 4:2:2 8-bit or 10-bit format. Ninja V+ can record more color information and immediately add value to your production with your existing camera rig. Additionally, if you’re shooting Log footage, the ability to bypass internal compression will offer the best possible dynamic range. Ninja V+ is designed to maximize the quality of your videos and allow you to extend every aspect of your creative vision.
