ATOMOS Ninja
Art.Nr. ATOMNJA004NINJA - The original only better: The 5 inch multitool for monitoring and recording.
NOW WITH FREE 5" ACCESSORY KIT - UNTIL DECEMBER 15
The handy and compact Ninja series from Atomos has long been setting new standards in video production. Whether as a preview monitor with numerous analysis tools or as a professional solution for external recording. The NINJA has not only established itself with filmmakers and other creative professionals, but has also constantly improved to meet the demands of users. The brand new NINJA is at the top of this ecosystem. The completely new OS11 operating system not only makes it easier for the user to operate, but also ensures a pleasant and professional look.
The tried and tested Atomos accessories also fit through the proven form factor. Advanced monitoring tools such as ARRI False Color or SegmentPro integrate the NINJA perfectly into your individual workflow. The popular H.265 codec is automatically included on top of the NINJA! All these tools make the NINJA an unbeatable companion on the film set or in the field. In combination with the Atomos Connect module, you can give your NINJA even more possibilities and integrate your camera into the Camera2Cloud workflow.
Bringing visions to life.
The NINJA brings your creativity to life with every project, from cinematography and social media to HDR and SDR. It pairs easily with a wide range of HDMI-enabled cameras, from professional cinema cameras to mirrorless cameras.
The Recording Tool
The NINJA is the ultimate field monitor for film and video creators on the go who value high-quality standard codecs such as ProRes and ProRes RAW. The Ninja's state-of-the-art screen maintains clarity and colour in the brightest conditions and displays bright, clear HDR images for monitoring on set or on the go.
Compact monitor+recorder in perfection
The Atomos NINJA features a stunningly bright 5.2-inch 10-bit HDR monitor with 1000nits of brightness. The sleek and robust aluminium chassis weighs just 360g and is only 25mm deep, making it easy to integrate into any setup.
New AtomOS, new look, new possibilities
Atomos is introducing a new version of our operating system, AtomOS 11, designed specifically for the new Ninja and it not only looks fantastic but also offers a range of great new features:
Atomos has made the tools more visible and optimised the look of the icons so you know exactly which tool you need. The user interface is easier to use, more logically structured and looks more professional.
Endless possibilities with OS11
The NINJA offers a huge range of familiar and new features to simplify your workflow. These include AtomOS Monitor Assist features such as Focus Peaking, Zoom, Vectorscopes & Atomos and ARRI False Color. EL Zone enables coloured exposure to Safe Areas, Cine Guides and our AtomHDR processing engine that provides real-time Log>PQ/HLG preview and much more.
Unlock the full potential of your camera
NINJA's wide range of codecs makes it compatible with all major editing software packages. Virtually any HDMI or SDI source is supported, including cameras from Nikon, FujiFilm, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Z-Cam, Sigma, Olympus, RED and ARRI.
NINJA + ProRes RAW
More than 55 cameras now support RAW recording over HDMI with NINJA, and the list keeps growing. Apple ProRes RAW combines the visual and workflow benefits of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes, giving filmmakers enormous latitude in adjusting the look of their images, making it ideal for HDR workflows. The new Apple ProRes RAW plug-in adds camera-specific properties to the mix. Ninja owners can now record RAW over SDI with compatible cameras via the Atomos Connect module.
These new features make the NINJA even more versatile, offering professional I/O options for a wide range of cameras - from entry-level mirrorless cameras to the latest compacts and high-end professional cameras. ProRes RAW via SDI is possible with the Atomos-Connect module.
NINJA Connect
Add an Atomos Connect module to the NINJA to access cloud workflows such as C2C, Atomos Edit and Atomos RemoteView via Atomos Cloud Studio. Connect also offers 12G-SDI, AirGlu wireless timecode and control, Wi-Fi 6 and GigE Ethernet.
You get access to Atomos RemoteView with a subscription to Atomos Cloud Services, offering an easy pay-as-you-go service with Atomos Credits. Atomos RemoteView is a unique new service that lets you wirelessly share what's on your Atomos screen with other Atomos users, as well as iPads, Macs and Apple TVs. You can monitor what's happening on set and mirror the camera that's capturing the image. What's more, you can do this from anywhere in the world. This opens up a new creative freedom for filmmakers.
NDI via Atomos Connect
NDI provides a way to transmit video over normal networks (including Wi-Fi and cellular) in high quality and with remarkably low bandwidth requirements. This method is increasingly used in live production, and now your Ninja can also be connected to an NDI network. The NDI TX option turns your Connect-enabled NINJA into an NDI source that is visible to all other NDI-compatible devices on the local network.
4K HDR- Gaming Capture
The NINJA is a standalone system for recording 4k UHD, HDR and high frame rates, eliminating the need for expensive, complicated and unreliable PC setups. The Ninja enables easy recording and instant monitoring. Capture every detail in HDR and automatically add all important HDR flags for upload to YouTube. Ideal for game development testing, pre-release recording sessions or just to score with your content!
AtomRemote App
The AtomRemote app for iOS and macOS offers an array of external
controls for ATOMOS CONNECT for NINJA. The app enables you to perform a range
of configuration tasks and operations up to 15 meters away from the device via
Bluetooth LE. Input options include the ability to define camera connections,
select Gamma/EOTF, and adjust Gamut settings. For monitoring, AtomRemote can be
used to control playback, choose monitoring modes, apply custom 3D LUTs, or
view image analysis tools including exposure and focus. Output controls include
options for 4K to HD, LUT preview, and HDR output.
