Live Switching and Multi-Channel Recording made Easy with Shogun 7
By Adam Noyes
Atomos’ Shogun 7 is one of the most exciting monitor recorders on the market today. This all in one monitor/recorder/switcher packs a punch with a ton of capabilities. Atomos recently released some case studies and a special offer on these units. Check it out below.
With live-streaming soaring, the class-leading Shogun 7 HDR monitor-recorder-switcher is in high demand. It’s easy-to-use live switching and multi-channel ISO recording function make it quick and easy to deploy into settings from houses of worship to colleges, to your own front room. You’ll be up and streaming without stress in no time at all.
Better still, each switch is recorded at the same time in a Final Cut Pro X XML metadata file, which can be imported into Apple Final Cut Pro X or other NLEs* immediately after the event and used to recreate the entire program complete with switches. Because this is metadata, you can even assign the transition type that Final Cut Pro X uses, choosing between a hard cut, or a cross fade with a specific duration.
The hardware setup is straightforward. SDI sources must all be set to the same frame rate and resolution up to 1080p60. The resulting program feed can be fed into a wide range of streaming devices – perfect for YouTube, Facebook and other popular social media. Thanks to its SDI output, it can also be fed directly into a broadcast system if required. The Shogun 7 can do all of this running off batteries if mains power is not available.
Live streaming the Sunday sermon this week
This weekend saw churches turning to live streaming to continue serving their congregations during lockdowns. One London church was able to stream their Sunday service direct to YouTube with the help of the Shogun 7. Using borrowed older Sony FS700 cameras connected to the Atomos Shogun 7 monitor-recorder-switcher they were able to operate the whole system with minimal setup and crew, all at a safe distance.
