New Atomos 4K recorder The Ninja Assassin

Seems like an answer to the PIX-E recorders. For A7S users (and probably others) there was no real reason to go with the Shogun when the PIX-E does pretty much the same at a substantially lower price.
When I saw the name I thought it would be a 5" monitor. But it's just a Shogun with the SDI and some of the accessories removed.
 
The PIX monitors look good at first, but then the new media stretches the cost. This stripped down Shogun is great with people who only need HDMI and have SSDs.
 
Glad I saw the video before they pulled it. It's gone now. Seams like they posted that video way too early since Atomos may not have even announced it yet.
 
Yeah I commented on it asking why this mystery product seemed to be unknown even to Atomos, and 10 minutes later it was gone! I must add, it seemed like a great product and would consider it for sure. A7Rii seems to overheat so appeared to be a great 4k option.
 
Hehe, probably was their big IBC announcement ;)

Jeromy said a couple of weeks ago that they'd have some big announcement in 4-5 weeks. Guess this is it ;)

I'm trying to get an answer from them if they're planning to support 2K from FS700 raw at higher frame rates (50/60/100/120) on the Shogun. That would be good enough for me to consider it. Hope to see some updated road maps for the OS announced at IBC...

I dont think the Shogun has the processing power to do HFR.
 
Interesting, I can't see the video but I'm an A7S owner and was prepping to throw down some $$$ on a Shogun in the next few weeks. Glad I saw this! Thanks!

$110 and $198 (at least from B&H), but duly noted! I could have sworn these were higher in price 2 weeks ago when I was frantically checking every day for the E5 to be in stock.

It's advertised as being able to do 120p in HD. Which means it should be able to take the 2K raw and turn it into ProRes at 50/60p at the very least. With some luck even 100fps. If Atomos are willing to put some effort into it.

Take it from me, that's not necessarily true.

There's a considerable amount of processing work required to convert Sony's RAW signal into video. Then to do this at high frame rates is that much more difficult. And then to compress into Apple ProRes at high frame rates is that much more complicated. Just because a device can handle one or two parts of a puzzle does not mean that it can do a bunch of them all at the same time.

I can drive a car and I can grill a cheeseburger, but I cannot do both at the same time.
 
Good news I guess. I just hoped it would be a cheaper 5" shogun with SDI. PIX-E5 is the smallest 4K option for the a7s now correct? or is it 5" but too bulky/heavy?
