Ninja Assassin Key Features:
  • Record more accurate, higher resolution colors (4:2:2, 10-bit) direct to visually lossless editing formats (the only brand to do both ProRes and DNxHR).
  • No Record time limits – Recording externally to the camera puts an end to the traditional 30-minute recording barrier and allows larger media capacity.
  • Professional shot setup you can trust on a calibrated high resolution 7" monitor with over 320 pixels per inch.
  • Anamorphic de-squeeze, the perfect companion for Panasonic’s GH4 and affordable Anamorphic lenses/adaptors.
  • Easy to use professional monitoring tools including Focus Peaking Assist, 1:1 & 2:1 Zoom with silky smooth image pan & scan, False Color (skin tones), Zebra and Waveform/Vector Scopes for in-depth image analysis.
  • Go back in time with Pre-Roll cache recording, up to 8 seconds of HD or 2-3 seconds of 4K so you’ll never miss that shot
  • Video Time-lapse with up to 10 different sequences, speed ramp and scheduled start and end times over 24 hrs.
  • 3D LUT’s allow you to create a specific signature look or even recreate classic film stock instantly, with 50:50 split / LUT on / LUT off view, you can compare effects and make creative decisions on the fly.
  • Playback for instant review and editing on the fly with a choice of 10 tags in both record and playback mode. Our NLE support means that whether you are Mac, PC, Apple, Avid or Adobe we support you.

So, it's a PIX-E5H competitor, with a larger screen, for $100 more (about the same price with media?). Not bad.

If you shoot using an external monitor, these recorders are getting so great and so cheap that it's very difficult to pass on them.

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.

Hope springs eternal. But is why I'm trying to get an answer from them.
I wish I could buy the Odyssey, but I simply can't afford it. If the Shogun won't let me go beyond 30p, I'm not sure it's really worth the money either though. In the meanwhile I keep shooting internally.

I can drive a car and I can grill a cheeseburger, but I cannot do both at the same time.

I'm pretty sure you could if you put your mind to it. But since there seems to be plenty of drive-thrus in the U.S, it seems unnecessary anyway.

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?

Yes - the PIX-E5 and PIX-E5H are the smallest 4k recording monitors available in the world. They are robust die cast aluminum, slim and not heavy. Perfect for A7s, A7Rii.

So, from a newbie FS7 Owner, would i be able to pull 4K off of the FS7's HDMI? What would I lose?
