By Adam Noyes
Atomos is delighted to be able to announce to new functionalities for the ever-popular Ninja V: ProRes RAW support for the Panasonic LUMIX GH5S and Ninja V users (coming soon) & enhanced metadata on Sony Alpha 7SIII with AtomOS 10.64 (available now).
Both are great opportunities to present the Ninja V as the go-to solution for filmakers looking to push the boundaries of the content they can create with these cameras. Please make sure to promote these announcements in your market, to ensure that you maximise on sales of the Ninja V to users looking to take advantage of these new functionalities.
The latest addition to the Atomos and ProRes RAW line-up – the well established and incredibly popular Panasonic LUMIX GH5S will be able to record up to 4Kp60 DCI ProRes RAW when combined with the Atomos Ninja V, as well as 3.7Kp60 anamorphic RAW.
Hugely popular in everything from streaming and vlogging environments to big budget cinema production, since its release in 2018 the GH5S has proved itself to be perfectly geared towards any shoot. Its compact size make it perfect for gimbal and drone work, its Micro Four Thirds image sensor provides flexible lens options, affordable anamorphic capture and dual native ISO provide the next level of production utilising the power of ProRes RAW. The ProRes RAW files captured with this combination will come with full metadata support in Final Cut Pro for White Balance and ISO slider adjustments upon release.
The Ninja V will support ProRes RAW from the GH5S via a firmware upgrade on the 9th June 2021. A free of charge firmware upgrade will also be required for the GH5S, and will be available from the Panasonic website on the 9th June 2021.
Opening up ProRes RAW recording in such a well established camera presents the opportunity to maximise on Ninja V sales with both new and existing GH5S users looking to combine the visual and workflow benefits of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes.
