Jeromy Young (Atomos): “We have worked very hard to bring three new products to IBC 2024”

The CEO and co-founder of atoms, Jeromy Young, explains in this video interview at IBC 2024 some of the manufacturer's innovations such as Shinobi II, a 5-inch, 1500 nits HDR monitor; Ninja Phone, compatible with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and allowing users to record and monitor from professional cameras with HDMI output; and Sun Dragon the world's first solar light source, HDR, waterproof, wireless DMX, 5-color LED with 2000 lumens.

Successor of Shinobi original, the new Shinobi II It has been rebuilt from the ground up for modern mirrorless/DSLR cameras and HDR or SDR video workflows, as well as HDR shooting. This solution is capable of controlling most of the mirrorless cameras of Canon, Panasonic y Sony through USB-C, as well as the models Z CAM E2 via a separate serial cable. With future firmware updates, Atomos plans to support Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System y SIGMA.

Beyond these control functionalities, which also include the white balance, the Atomos team has redesigned the device to offer a body 30% thin, a port USB-C and locking cable connectors for HDMI and USB ports. Regarding your screen tactile, this offers 1500 nits maximum brightness (50% more than its predecessor), video HDR of 10 bits y zero latency photo monitoring. The device debuts at IBC 2024 with a free update that includes the arrival of autofocus and focus tracking functions in both photo and video modes.

Regarding the recorder-monitor Ninja Phone, compatible with iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, initially, as other smartphone models will follow, has a Apple ProRes 10-bit and H.265 10-bit video coprocessor which allows users record and monitor from professional cameras with an HDMI output. This solution combines Atomos' extensive expertise in ProRes encoding and Apple's cutting-edge silicon and display technology to create this portable professional HDR monitor-recorder.

The video encoded in ProRes can be stored on the phone as .mov file I be transcoded simultaneously by the iPhone to 10-bit H.265 for super-efficient workflows like camera-to-cloud, or streaming live via iPhone's built-in 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

The iPhone 15 Pro connectivity opens a door for Ninja Phone users to make full use of Atomos Cloud Studio (ACS) for streaming and live production.

Sun Dragon

Finally, Jeromy Young highlights an interesting lighting solution: Sun Dragon, the first light with solar spectrum, HDR, waterproof, wireless DMX, 5-color LED and 2000 lumens, mount anywhere, light and flexible for production and cinema.

This light strip is made with densely packed LEDs for uniform light without the need for diffusion. It is powerful and has a power close to the full solar spectrum. This means that it offers Authentic HDR colors and brightness. Its advanced design RGBAW with 5 different colored diodes (red, green, blue, amber and white) combined with Atomos' precision electronic control allows almost any shade on the color wheel to be mixed during operation.

And CRI Ra >= 97 (Color Rendering Index) and a TLCI of 96 (Television Lighting Consistency Index) guarantee a faithful reproduction of the entire spectrum of sunlight, thus avoiding any corrections in post-production, thus saving time and money.
