Atomos Ninja Overview
Atomos Ninja 5.2" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor
With an updated operating system, HDR monitoring, and RAW recording capabilities, the Atomos Ninja 5.2" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor is a 5.2" on-camera monitor and recorder ideal for use on your next set. This monitor supports DCI 4K HDMI footage and can even record ProRes RAW up to 6K with compatible cameras. The Ninja retains the same form factor as its predecessors to be compatible with most Atomos monitor accessories for easy integration with your preexisting equipment.
AtomOS 11 Operating System
Built for the new Ninja, the AtomOS 11 operating system equips your monitor with new features along with an improved icon interface for more intuitive operation. Focus Peaking, Zoom, Atomos and ARRI False Color, EL Zone colorized exposure, Safe Areas, RecordAssit, PlayBackAssist, SegmentPro, and Cine Guides are among the many monitor assist functions available. The AtomHDR processing engine allows for real-time Log to PQ/HLG previewing.
5.2" Touchscreen Display
The 5.2" IPS touchscreen of the Ninja offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution with 1000 cd/m² brightness for viewing in broad daylight. The 10-bit color processing, Rec.709 color gamut, and Calibrite ColorChecker Display Pro/Plus calibration support ensure color-accurate, high-quality monitoring of your footage.
Comprehensive Color
The Ninja supports the use of select Sony, ARRI, JVC, RED, FUJIFILM, Nikon, Panasonic, and Canon log formats. Upload custom 3D LUTs to the monitor and output HDR conversion to Log, HLG, PQ, or Dolby Vision formats.
HDMI Interface, ProRes RAW Recording
- The Ninja's HDMI input and output ports support up to DCI 4K video at 60 fps in monitoring, recording, and playback modes. 3.5K RAW at 60 fps footage is supported with select cameras.
- Over 55 different cameras support RAW recording over HDMI with the Ninja up to 6K at 30 fps.
Record 4K HDR Gaming
The Ninja can be configured as a stand-alone system for UHD 4K, HDR, and high frame rate gaming capture. Record, monitor, and instantly review your gameplay for posting to YouTube or other platforms.
Optional Atomos CONNECT Module
The Ninja is compatible with the separately available Atomos CONNECT module to access cloud workflows like C2C, Atomos Edit, and Atomos RemoteView via Atomos Cloud Studio. The CONNECT module adds 12G-SDI connectivity, AirGlu wireless timecode and control, Wi-Fi 6, and GigE Ethernet to your monitor interface. This allows you to send video signals to live streaming platforms, via NDI, and to custom RTMP/S destinations. You can also convert HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI video using the CONNECT module.
AtomX Cast
Use the AtomX CAST to transform your Ninja into a compact, fully featured production studio. This component enables advanced multi-input switching from four 1080p HDMI sources, the application of graphic overlays, and the ability to use a USB UVC webcam output for enhanced web conferencing and live streaming.
SSD Recording
The Ninja is compatible with the Atomos Master Caddy II and Master Caddy III 2.5" hard drive units which support direct recording to the drives. You can also record onto compact AtomX SSDmini drives and CFAST II cards using a separately available adapter.
Power Options
An L-series battery plate on the back of the Ninja can support NP-F L-series batteries outputting 5.8 to 7.2V. A USB-C port supports 30W PD power delivery with the included cable. Use the included dummy eliminator to power the monitor via DC power sources.
Control Options
- Multifunction control buttons work in tandem with the touchscreen interface for intuitive onboard control.
- Auto HDMI camera trigger is supported by Canon and Sony cameras using Atomos Open Standard.
- Unlock Bluetooth and RF-driven remote control with the optional CONNECT module.
- LANC control and calibration can be accessed using a separately available USB-C to serial connection cable.
Atomos CONNECT Network, Wireless & SDI Expansion for NINJA V/V+
Expand the video and network capabilities of your Ninja V or Ninja V+ monitor with the Atomos CONNECT. Designed to fit flush to the back of your compatible monitor and secured via two screws, the CONNECT features a 12G-SDI input and antennas for Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. The CONNECT supports Bluetooth LE and Gigabit Ethernet with the integrated LAN input so you can stream to networked video switches, additional monitors, or destinations like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.
Camera to Cloud Interface
Utilize the CONNECT Camera to Cloud workflow to upload proxy files, capture full-resolution footage, and collaborate in real time via Frame.io, Dropbox, or Sony Ci media. Atomos Cloud Studio allows network-enabled devices to live stream to popular platforms and custom RTMP/S locations.
Wireless Control
Use the AtomRemote app with your iOS or macOS device and control your CONNECT unit remotely. Configure settings from up to 49.2' away using the device's Bluetooth LE technology. Define camera connections, select Gamma/EOTF, adjust Gamut settings, control playback, and utilize other input monitoring tools. Output control options include video resolution, LUT preview, and HDR output.
Wireless Timecode
Atomos AirGlu wireless timecodes work together to seamlessly sync your connected camera's timecode for improved system integration. Relay recording, battery status, and disk capacity information to the server unit, which can be any AirGlu-enabled device.
Dual Recording
Create a main Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR/HD recording and an HEVC H.265 proxy recording with matching timecode and metadata using the CONNECT's dual recording feature. The clips are then uploaded to the cloud for real-time collaboration. Proxy clips can be reviewed using Frame.io by remote team members, and editors can begin cutting footage.
Compatible, Compact Form Factor
The slender profile of the CONNECT complements the compact form factor of the Ninja V and Ninja V+ monitors to avoid adding bulk to your preexisting gear configuration. An L-series battery slot can power the accessory.
