Thank you, Brian.
It would be interesting to compare the EDID tables in 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 for differences.

Hi Brian and DVX Users,
My name is Jeromy Young CEO of Atomos, I would like to clarify a few things about the D800, D4 and the Ninja. Thanks for all that have input into this discussion, you are right to be excited and I can tell you we are excited by the results and the quality and flexibility of this solution.
Nikon originally communicated when we requested true progressive form the sensor of the Nikon DSLR's, the output would be 60i or 50i and we would need to remove the pulldown to get 24psf, which is P but interlaced for data transfer (Field 0 and Field 1 make up one progressive frame) this works but is not ideal. It is this 24psf removed from 60i that our 2.1 AtomOS firmware recorded on the D4. Then the D800 was released and we found the output was not the same and that we had issues recording the 24psf.
After discovering this and finally obtaining a D800 last week (we did not get one pre release, it was a sudden release). Nikon then told us that to enable True 24P you needed to do the following:
Camera settings:
Remember no commercial camera from Japan gives this clean output in true progressive other than Nikon and it's $3000 + Ninja $1000 and you have a killer video recording solution that you must try!
I must thank Chris McGee from Melbourne, ex DOP of 20 Years in LA, not only did he lend the camera so we could make the AtomOS 2.2 work, he also taught me a lot about Film, and shooting with lenses in digital HD, Exposure, lighting and the way you frame the shot are critical and Film understanding helps a great deal.
I hope that helps and if you have any questions please ping out support and we can answer them, I will come back now and then and say hello and help clarify anything confusing.
Yours in production

Camera settings:
- Movie Mode (which ever mode you want 108024, 25, or 30p)
- HDMI Out settings - AUTO
- No Cards in the camera (CF or SD)
- You must activate live view on the D800 to record to the ninja.The Ninja will auto detect the Progressive signal from the sensor, when the signal is locked , it will be displayed on the Ninja in the correct format and frame rate. (This may take up to half a second for the signals between the devices to be established.)
