Long known for its monitor-recorders like the Ninja and Shogun lines, Atomos is now positioning itself as a full ecosystem provider, offering solutions that span the entire production pipeline—from on-camera capture to postproduction and final delivery. This shift is highlighted by a wide range of new products, workflow tools, and services designed to support modern creators, broadcasters, and production teams at every stage.

A key highlight of the showcase is the introduction of the Atomos Sumo PRO-19, a 19-inch 4K HDR monitor-recorder-switcher built for multi-camera environments and on-set collaboration. With features like integrated Wi-Fi, Ethernet, camera-to-cloud connectivity, NDI HX3, and CFexpress recording, it serves as a central hub for video village and production workflows. Alongside it, Atomos continues to expand its popular Ninja lineup while also pushing further into live production with the Atomos Shogun AV-19, a rackmount solution designed for studio, event, and broadcast applications, including mobile setups via its Fly Pack configuration.

Atomos is also making a strong push into PTZ camera production with its A-Eye lineup, featuring AI tracking and advanced control systems like the Atomos A-Eye Controller Pro. Supporting up to 254 cameras and multiple control protocols, this system is built for complex multi-camera environments such as houses of worship, education, and live events. Beyond video, the company is expanding its ecosystem with practical production tools, including audio gear like StudioSonic microphones and headphones, as well as workflow accessories like a USB4 CFexpress card reader and wearable field gear, all aimed at improving real-world production efficiency.

On the software side, Atomos continues to develop its cloud platform, AtomoSphere, introducing new tools like the AtomoSphere Editor for in-browser editing and Ground Control for desktop integration. These updates strengthen the connection between capture, storage, collaboration, and delivery, making cloud-based workflows more accessible with features like 20GB of free storage for new users. This reinforces Atomos’ focus on creating a seamless, end-to-end production environment that bridges on-set and postproduction processes.

Perhaps the most significant announcement is Atomos’ acquisition of Flanders Scientific, a highly respected name in professional reference displays. This move elevates Atomos into the high-end monitoring space, adding credibility and trust for color-critical workflows in postproduction and finishing. With Flanders Scientific continuing as its own brand, Atomos now offers a complete monitoring pathway—from on-camera tools to reference-grade displays—solidifying its transformation into a comprehensive production technology provider.

Pro Sound Effects Brings Native SFX Panel Integration to Avid Media Composer https://news.broadfield.com/pro-sound-effects-brings-native-sfx-panel-integration-to-avid-media-composer/ Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=35568

In this article by Kate Large for Red Shark News, Pro Sound Effects has introduced a native sound effects panel for Avid Media Composer, giving editors direct access to a massive library of over 1.2 million licensed sound effects without leaving the editing timeline. Built using Avid’s Panel SDK, the integration streamlines the post-production workflow by eliminating the need to switch between separate apps or browsers to find and import audio, a common bottleneck for editors working under tight deadlines.

The new panel supports a fully licensed workflow from early rough cuts through final picture lock, ensuring that teams can use professional-grade audio throughout the entire editing process. It also integrates with SoundQ, PSE’s free desktop application, allowing users to browse, search, and organize both the company’s library and their own internal sound effects collections. These assets can be stored locally, on networks, or in cloud environments like Avid Nexis, and are imported directly into Media Composer bins with full metadata preserved.

Additionally, the Pro Sound Effects library features contributions from well-known and award-winning sound designers such as Mark Mangini, Richard King, and Chris Watson, adding further credibility and creative value to the offering. The panel is available now at no additional cost for existing PSE customers, with sound effects accessible either through individual purchases or subscription plans starting at $29 per month per user.

SanDisk’s CFexpress 4.0 Cards Push Speed Limits https://news.broadfield.com/sandisks-cfexpress-4-0-cards-push-speed-limits/ Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:30:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=35565 In this article by Andy Stout for Red Shark News, SanDisk unveils a new lineup of professional memory cards, headlined by its latest Extreme PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B series alongside updated V90 and V60 SD cards. The announcement comes at a time when memory prices are rising sharply, making both the performance gains and pricing structure especially relevant for video professionals and content creators.

The CFexpress 4.0 Type B cards represent a major leap in performance, delivering up to 3700 MB/s read and 3500 MB/s write speeds thanks to a PCIe Gen 4 interface—roughly doubling the throughput of previous-generation CFexpress 2.0 cards. However, performance varies significantly by capacity. The higher-end 2 TB and 4 TB cards achieve the top speeds with strong sustained write performance and VPG1600 certification, while lower-capacity options like 128 GB and 400 GB see a notable drop in sustained write speeds. This distinction is critical for filmmakers who rely on consistent performance to meet cinema-grade recording standards.

Beyond speed, SanDisk has added durability and efficiency features such as SmartIdle for thermal management, along with robust physical ratings for drops and bending. Pricing, however, is a major talking point: the 4 TB card reaches $1799, which may seem steep but actually offers better value per terabyte compared to smaller capacities. This creates a clear incentive for professionals to invest in higher-capacity cards if their workflows and budgets allow.

The updated SD card lineup also pushes boundaries, with both V90 and V60 cards now reaching up to 2 TB capacities. The V90 cards are designed for high-end use cases like 8K video, offering faster sustained write speeds, while the V60 cards target prosumer workflows such as 6K video and high-resolution photography. Interestingly, the price difference between the two tiers is relatively small at the top end, making the upgrade to V90 a more compelling option for users needing higher performance.

Finally, the article places these launches within the broader context of a rapidly shifting memory market. Prices for NAND and DRAM have surged due to increasing demand driven by AI infrastructure, pushing costs higher across the board. Despite the high price tags, SanDisk’s new cards are largely in line with industry forecasts, suggesting that while expensive, they may not be overpriced relative to where the market is heading.

Conversation With Atomos CEO Peter Barber on Acquiring Flanders Scientific https://news.broadfield.com/conversation-with-atomos-ceo-peter-barber-on-acquiring-flanders-scientific/ Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=35484 In this article by Erik Naso for NewsShooter, the recent acquisition of Atomos by Flanders Scientific is explored through insights from Atomos CEO Peter Barber. The deal, valued at $2.35 million in cash plus 5.6 million shares, marks a significant strategic move aimed at strengthening Atomos’ position in the high-end monitoring market. The announcement also had an immediate financial impact, with Atomos shares rising following the news, signaling investor confidence in the acquisition.

The article explains how this acquisition allows Atomos to expand beyond its traditional strengths in on-camera monitor-recorders into the premium reference monitoring space. Flanders Scientific is widely respected in post-production, broadcast, and high-end content creation environments, where precise color accuracy and reliability are essential. By bringing FSI into its portfolio, Atomos gains access to a trusted lineup of professional-grade monitors that have already undergone years of validation and industry adoption.

Importantly, Flanders Scientific will continue to operate as its own brand, maintaining its established identity, engineering philosophy, and product standards. Rather than rebranding, Atomos plans to support and scale FSI’s reach while preserving what makes it valuable to professionals. The article notes that this approach not only protects FSI’s reputation but also allows Atomos to benefit from an additional revenue stream without disrupting an already successful business model.

Naso also highlights the broader implications of the acquisition, including the potential for deeper integration between the two companies’ technologies. While there is speculation about whether Atomos’ AtomOS platform could eventually be incorporated into FSI products, no official plans have been confirmed. However, the move clearly positions Atomos to offer a more comprehensive, end-to-end monitoring ecosystem—from capture through final color grading.

Finally, the article provides perspective from both CEOs, emphasizing the long-term vision behind the deal. Barber frames the acquisition as part of a larger strategy to build a stronger, more innovative company through both internal development and strategic acquisitions. Meanwhile, Flanders Scientific CEO Bram Desmet underscores the opportunity to expand their reach while continuing to deliver the trusted tools professionals rely on. Together, the companies aim to elevate production and post-production workflows by combining precision, scale, and innovation.
