The release of the new firmware update for Shogun Inferno and Ninja Inferno 4K monitor/recorders brings key features that make capturing and delivering in HDR as seamless as in standard dynamic range (SDR). It also brings 2K 240fps Raw-to-ProRes and 4K 12-bit CDNG Raw recording to the Panasonic Varicam LT, when coupled with the Shogun Inferno. This adds to the existing Raw support for several Sony and Canon cinema cameras, as well as improving support and enhancements for many more cameras.

The new release helps to make HDR simple to use, as the Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) HDR output of cameras like the Sony FS5, Z150 and Panasonic GH5 can now be recorded directly to the Inferno series recorders with the correct metadata flags embedded into the Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR .MOV files. With this metadata the recorded clips can be used seamlessly in an end-to-end HLG workflow, just like Rec709.

Furthermore, these HLG clips can be natively edited in NLEs that support HLG, or uploaded directly to YouTube HDR in HLG to be seamlessly played back on any SDR TV for stunning improvements using the current SDR infrastructure. This is achieved with the metadata flag from the Atomos recording following the file through the NLE, then on through to YouTube HDR upload. Finally, it is then played out from HDR supported devices like the Google’s ChromeCast Ultra and Amazon’s Fire TV with 4K Ultra over HDMI correctly to any SDR or HDR TV – Atomos makes it simple to produce HDR in HLG today. …[continue reading]

Melbourne, Australia – 13 June 2017: Getting state-of-the-art 4K/HD rack-mounted recording and monitoring for the multi-camera studio or outside broadcast has never been more affordable. Today, Atomos have announced a new price point for their Shogun Studio rack-mounted 2-channel 4K/HD recorder and playback deck with dual 7” IPS monitors. The price of unit is being reduced to just $2,495 US, making it the best value solution available.

Perfectly suited for studio, live events and on-set broadcast environments, the Shogun Studio has become the go-to choice of many 4K and HD productions looking for advanced yet affordable rack-mount recording and monitoring solutions.

Shogun Studio has proved itself on productions large and small. Gearhouse Broadcast recently deployed 18 Shogun Studios to record the Australian leg of the Taylor Swift ‘1989’ tour in 4K. In total they managed the output of 37 live cameras using Atomos products.

“We turned to Atomos to provide a Shogun solution to record the 4K output. We had a mixture of broadcast cameras and cine-type cameras, along with specialty cameras…It was quite unique,” explains Gearhouse Broadcast’s Manny Papas. He added: “It worked extremely well – the finished product speaks for itself really”.

Workflow and editing are simple. Shogun Studio can record two discrete 4K, HD or even Raw streams direct to readily available off-the-shelf SSD drives in 4:2:2 10-Bit Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR codecs. You can also configure it as one single unit with continuous recording across drives. Multi-codec and multi-resolution recording are both available. You can pre-roll record, or even record timelapses.

There is a complete range of monitoring tools on each of the 1920×1200 SuperATOM IPS callibrated REC709 displays. Waveform, vectorscope, zebra, blue only, frame guides, peaking, pixel-to-pixel zoom and audio level meters are all included. LUTs can be applied for monitoring, output, or even burned into the recordings.

“I liked the display; it was easy to manage,” says Papas. “I found the menus easy to operate. I could see what was being recorded. It had audio displayed on it. It gave me the format we were recording in. I actually found it a very good product.”

The compact 3RU unit fits into what might previously have taken 10RU of space. It is also less than half the standard rack unit depth. Reducing the amount of kit on your rack reduces the number of power sockets you need and enables savings in power and heat generated.

Working with HDR is also supported. Log formats can be recorded to SSD, while at the same time transformed into PQ or HLG for realtime output.

You can also control the Shogun Studio via RS422 and even plug in many existing deck controllers. The rich feature set has allowed Integrators to use Shogun Studio in a wide range of applications such as digital signage and security recording applications.

Gearhouse’s Papas sums it up: “It’s value for money. If I’d used an alternate solution that we have in our trucks, it would have been a lot more difficult, a lot more expensive – but we would have ended up with the same product.”
