Atomos Shogun 7 Gets Multi-Camera Switching with AtomOS 10.4
By Adam Noyes
Provideocoalition.com recently posted a great article detailing the most recent update for the Atomos Shogun 7- a very popular, light weight monitor/recorder. We’re going to take a look at the article here.
Ideal for independents on a budget, the Atomos Shogun 7, an all-in-one device for monitoring, recording and switching, get multi-camera switching with the most recent update.
Atomos continues its mission to make professional, multi-camera filmmaking more widely available to mainstream video content creators, with the release of AtomOS 10.4, a freely available download.
Last November Atomos announced that multi-camera switching and recording was made easier with the Atomos Sumo 19, thanks to the new AtomOS 9.2. Now the company announces the availability of the highly anticipated AtomOS 10.4, and with it the arrival of a new switching update from Atomos for their Shogun 7 HDR monitor-recorder-switcher.
That’s not all, though. The update adds touch-controlled switching, quad monitoring and ISO recording functionality to the Shogun 7. This allows you to accurately switch back and forth between four live HD SDI video streams up to 1080p60. Tapping on an input stream’s window in the quad-view will switch to that source as the program feed – which is then output via HDMI, SDI, or both simultaneously. You can record all four streams, with the switched program output as a fifth stream. This is all done asynchronously, without the need for genlocked sources.
The streams are all recorded to the same high performance SSD drive and can be ready to edit moments after the shoot has finished. Each is recorded as a separate ISO in either Apple ProRes or Avid DNx, providing post production with creative advantages and the convenience of having multiple, synchronized camera angles when they come to craft the story in the edit suite.
