Adam Noyes — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 20:02:11 +0000

The Atomos Ninja V and Ninja V+ are two very popular field monitors and recorders that are often used to boost the performance of your camera. For instance, the LUMIX GH5S can be paired with either of these monitors for ProResRAW.

Check out some highlights from this article from ProVideoCoalition.com talking about this workflow!

The “old” LUMIX GH5S which was initially released in 2018 is now able to record up to 4K DCI p60 ProRes RAW and 3.7Kp60 anamorphic RAW when combined with the Atomos Ninja V and Ninja V+.

While the new offer from Panasonic in the G family lineup made the news, also because it suggests the company’s support of Micro Four Thirds format, the Panasonic LUMIX GH5S camera, introduced back in 2018 comes back to the spotlight, thanks to un update that will make its owners happy: Atomos and Panasonic announced the development of Apple ProRes RAW recording from the Panasonic LUMIX GH5S camera.

The Panasonic LUMIX GH5S, with its 10.28 MP Micro Four Thirds image sensor, is a compact camera geared for for movie recording and low-light performance. The camera’s small and compact size makes it perfect for gimbal and drone shooting, plus other areas like live streaming, vlogging and cinema production. Its Micro Four Thirds image sensor provides flexible lens options, affordable anamorphic capture and Dual Native ISO technology at ISO 400 and ISO 2500 provide the next level of production utilising the power of ProRes RAW.

Specifically designed for video shooting, the LUMIX GH5S features a versatile and capable range of video specs, including the ability to internally record DCI 4K at up to 60 fps and 150 Mbps with 4:2:0 8-bit Long GOP; 30 fps and 150 Mbps with 4:2:2 10-bit Long GOP; and 24 fps and 400 Mbps with 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-I. UHD 4K recording is also supported along with Full HD at up to 240 fps for slow-motion playback. A full-size HDMI port is present on the camera for high-quality output at 4:2:2 10-bit in all settings for use with external monitors and recorders.

Atomos Ninja V Firmware Update

Jennifer P — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 19:51:15 +0000

Atomos’ continuing commitment to our Ninja V users Firmware update including social media focused frame guide and improvements on false color

We are pleased to announce that the new Ninja V v10.3 firmware update is released today as a free download from the Atomos website as we continue to commit to our loyal Ninja V users and potential customers. Bringing them new features and fixes that make the industry leading 4K HDR monitor-recorder even better.

New Frame Guides for Social Media: Ninja V is without doubt an easy to use and a popular tool to create social content. Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and other social media content creators are aware of how important is to have all in frame.

Listening to user feedback, Atomos has implemented new frame guides for social media. With Ninja V, filmmakers can now shoot with different frame guides and ensure that no matter the social platform their social content will always look great and fit in different formats.

Content creators can now choose between 1:1 perfect for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, 4:5 portrait vertical aspect ratio Instagram 1.91:1 landscape, horizontal aspect ratio Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and 9:16 portrait vertical aspect ratio Instagram stories, Instagram TV, Snapchat and YouTube.

9 Grid overlay: In addition to the new frame guides included in the FW update, a new 9 Grid overlay has been included in this update. This allows for better framing when using the rule of thirds theory for image composition.

Range Setting: With the new FW update, Ninja V users will find now a HDMI Legal/Full Range setting. This setting allows them to choose between Legal Range 16-235 and Full Range 0-255 (legalize toggle ON) for the input signal and get this information directly into their NLE.

IRE Scale for False Color: False color is an essential tool helping filmmakers getting a correct exposure. An IRE scale with values has been added to False Color mode view.

File Naming. File naming is now rolling with the ability to maintain a consistent file naming structure after formatting of a drive. This function can be turned on or off.

Ninja V is the best monitor recorder in the market. Please inform your channel to keep them offering Ninja V as a revolutionary monitor recorder that fulfill customer’s needs and spread out this firmware update among their customers as they will for sure love it!

File Naming. File naming is now rolling with the ability to maintain a consistent file naming structure after formatting of a drive. This function can be turned on or off.

This FW update is expected to be ready tomorrow within the day. Please check it out and Download the FW once is ready here –>Ninja V FW Update 10.3

Important Information after update Ninja V to FW v10.3

With the installation of this new update ALL users will be required to activate ProRes Raw, as a codec (as they would DNx). Following the Firmware update, if in ProRes RAW mode the Atomos devices will default back to ProRes HQ. When a RAW source is plugged in or a user selects ProRes Raw Codec, a UI popup will ask for activation code to continue. Even If the user has already been shooting with ProRes RAW with the former FW, they must activate it in this update by visiting Atomos website www.atomos.com/activation and follow instructions to generate a code. This webpage is already updated to do this activation for ProRes Raw.

The Sony AtomX SSDmini is an excellent choice for your Atomos recorder

Jim Bask — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 22:56:49 +0000

This is going to sound crazy, but as a professional commercial videographer / filmmaker for the last five years in San Francisco, I only recently had to start using external recorders. My clientele was the kind where we didn’t have to always shoot in log, we generally could get our shots to look good in camera, and I was happy to shoot to SD or CFAST cards in 4:2:0 8-bit.

But times change, my personal thoughts on the quality of product I want to put out changed, and the limitations of my equipment eventually became glaring. Very recently I started working on a passion documentary project and wanted to shoot everything in log. I wanted to have complete control of color and even have the option to send footage to a professional colorist. My Panasonic Lumix GH5 is capable of writing 4:2:2 10-bit log in 4Kp24 to an SD card no problem, but my slow motion footage of 4Kp60 was limited to 4:2:0 8-bit. If you’ve ever tried to grade footage in the latter and then attempt it again in the former, you’ll know why it was such a big deal to me to have 10-bit footage: it’s remarkably more flexible.

The only way for me to get my slow motion footage to have the same quality as my 24p footage was to get an external recorder, and therefore also acquire an SSDmini for it to record into. I chose the Atomos Ninja V (which I will review soon here in Imaging Resource because it’s awesome), and instead of going with the G-Technology SSDmini drives that could come bundled with Atomos product, decided to give Sony a shot.
