Atomos expands its product range
All models include NDI|HX3, support H.265, H.264 and MJPEG compression, and feature output options including HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB and IP streaming via RTSP, RTMP and ONVIF. Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support means a single cable can deliver power, video and control. Using industry-standard protocols and connections, the A-Eye series slots into existing multicamera workflows. Also new from the Australian brand is the $199 Studiosonic, professional wired over-ear headphones crafted for editing and professional-level monitoring. Instead of being built for listening to music, these provide true-to-source audio precision. Featuring 50mm high-resolution drivers and an ultra-wide frequency response of 10Hz-40kHz, the Studiosonic production headphones reveal the full range of audio without any artificial enhancements. With 105dB sensitivity and 30Ω impedance, the headphones are ideal for field recorders and mobile devices without requiring an external amplifier. The closed-back, over-ear design aids passive noise isolation, while ultra-soft memory foam earpads and a cushioned adjustable headband boost comfort.
The world’s best-known brand of monitor- recorders continues to branch out following the launch of AI-enhanced PTZ cameras, as well as a controller, headphones and wireless video system. The new Atomos A-Eye series makes multicamera production both simple and scalable, and is aimed at content and live event coverage by combining intelligent tracking with high-quality video. Top of the range is the $2299 4K-20X, a 4K model with a 1/1.8-inch UHD CMOS sensor and 20x optical zoom, built for large venues and pro multicamera productions. Below that sits the more compact $1899 4K-12X, featuring a 1/2.5-inch UHD CMOS sensor and 12x optical zoom, perfect for creators. For HD-only set-ups, the $1399 HD-20X offers a 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor with 2.07 megapixels and 20x optical zoom. Also in the line-up is the $999 A-Eye Control, a dedicated remote-control hub that enables multicamera operation, preset switching and remote production over IP. With real-time AI-powered tracking and advanced PTZ motion (±170° pan and -30 to +90° tilt range), A-Eye cameras follow subjects with smooth, precise movement for optimal tracking.
The 180° swivel earcups support one-ear monitoring, and a detachable 2m coiled cable offers flexible movement. Plus, dual 3.5mm and 6.3mm jack plugs mean you can connect without adapters. Finally comes the new Atomos TX-RX wireless video transmitter and receiver system, which delivers low-latency HD-SDI and 4K HDMI video over 5G Wi-Fi transmission for wireless on-set monitoring. This allows video monitoring from camera to monitor, from monitor to monitor and even to a smart device. The TX-RX transmits a 4K/30p signal over HDMI and 1080/60p over SDI, with a range of up to 300m/985ft and latency as low as 0.06sec. Boasting SDI and HDMI outputs, the receiver enables use of multiple monitors at once. Supporting up to four receivers per transmitter, the TX-RX works for multicamera, multimonitor workflows. It can be powered by 9-16v DC input, USB-C at 5v/2A or standard NP-F batteries. The kit costs $599, although no UK prices have yet been set for any products. atomos.com
