Atomos NINJA 5-inch HDR Monitor-Recorder

Atomos NINJA 5-inch HDR Monitor-Recorder

Atomos is building up the now decade-long Ninja legacy with a brand new NINJA - ready for the latest generation cinema cameras and modern codecs.

Available as either the NINJA or NINJA ULTRA models, the latest Ninja base model handles video sources up to nine times that resolution, has a 5-inch HDR screen, records ProRes RAW, and connects to almost every camera in the world.

A key component of both new Ninja models is the completely overhauled operating system, AtomOS 11. Cleaner, fresher and faster, thanks to hardware performance optimized for AtomOS 11, it delivers a host of new features too, including EL Zone exposure referenced colorized image, ARRI False Color, and new scheduled playback & recording tools.

Both models sport a distinctive ‘camo’ color polycarbonate body and now include more codecs as standard: 6K ProRes RAW, ProRes, DNxHD as well as H.265, which was previously available as a paid option.

While the Ninja is targeted primarily at owners of hybrid mirrorless cameras, Ninja Ultra is built to get the most out of camera to cloud techology and leans into cinematic workflows too. 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.
