ATOMOS ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

A superior Shogun

I t would be an easy mistake to think the only significant upgrades for the ATOMOS SHOGUN CONNECT over the previous SHOGUN 7 model are to do with streaming and connecting to the cloud for speedy and easy production. After all, the ability to turn any cinema camera, mirrorless or DSLR into a fully integrated device that supports cloud-based workflows is a huge feature. In fact, the SHOGUN CONNECT is far more than that. It’s the new, flagship seven- inch monitor/recorder from ATOMOS that accepts both SDI and HDMI inputs, to make it compatible with all professional cameras. It uses the latest processor, the AtomIC3, giving it the power to support new and existing cameras – and deal with the higher frame rates and resolutions that workflows will demand in the future. For example, the SHOGUN CONNECT can handle RAW up to 4K in 120p via HDMI or SDI and record in 8K ProRes RAW up to 12-bit in 8K/30p.

You’ll never want to go back to relying on a camera screen or EVF again. The on-screen menus are logical and the screen is very responsive. There is also the free AtomControl app to allow easy access and control of the monitor assist functions via smartphone or tablet. The SHOGUN CONNECT has many of the most popular features found on other ATOMOS seven- inch devices, such as Timelapse and Freeze Frame/Overlay. Of course, this monitor/recorder boasts many of the new features that make the whole ATOMOS CONNECT ecosystem so stunning for live and connected workflows. For example, multicam shoots are now easy, as the SHOGUN uses ATOMOS AirGlu built-in wireless timecode, to ensure
