Atomos launches its new Shogun Flame and Ninja Flame recorders with HDR support
These small field recorders and monitors will allow film crews to view HDR material directly on the film set.
The Australian atoms will present two new recorders at NAB 2016, Shogun Flame and Ninja Flame, whose main feature is support for HDR (High Dynamic Range).
If the popular Atomos Shogun helped pioneer 4K recording, these small field recorders and monitors will allow film crews to view HDR material directly on the film set.
With a 7" display they work at 1900 x 1200 resolutions and are capable of displaying 10 stops of luminance with 10-bit color depth. When recording on SSD cards, it is possible to store material in both HD and 4K in Apple ProRes HD/4K and DNxHR (4:2:2) files.
The new Flame offers an extraordinary level of brightness of up to 1500 nits, almost four times what the popular Ninja Blade offers, and ten true stops at 10 bits of color depth. This equipment allows you to capture RAW from the Sony FS700 and FS7 cameras, as well as the Canon C300 MK II and C500.
For HDR image processing, both recorders/monitors use AtomHDR technology, being completely faithful to the detail and brightness of the signal from the camera.
When it comes to connectivity, the Ninja Flame model has a single HDMI connection, while the Shogun Flame also offers SDI with bidirectional SDI-HDMI conversion. Both allow video, XLR audio, linear timecode and genlock recording.
Finally, note that it is possible to change the battery without interrupting operation thanks to its interchangeable double battery technology.
