Atomos Ninja V HDMI Monitor / Recorder in More Detail

Highly versatile recorder

Working with Ninja V makes it easier to perfect every scene through professional monitoring tools such as framing, exposure and focusing. You can also choose from industry-standard recording formats with frame size, frame rate and codecs that best suit your workflow. Ninja V allows you to record HDMI RAW inputs up to 6K at 30fps, whilst simultaneously looping out standard YCC video via HDMI to non-RAW compatible devices.

Effective touchscreen

A highly responsive 5.2-inch, SuperAtom IPS touchscreen guarantees each feature is clearly visible and all the features are easily accessible and the bright 1000nit screen can even be used outdoors. The display settings allow for a number of adjustments to make certain your Ninja V functions equally well in darker environments.

Extremely portable

The Atomos Ninja V is compact, portable and works as well on a compact mirrorless camera as it does with a full-sized cinema camera. A lightweight aluminium chassis and polycarbonate backplate have been crafted for maximum durability and the device weighs just 360g, which means it can be used comfortably when handholding the camera. The device includes anti-rotational 3/8-16 mount points on the top and bottom and ships with a 1/4-20 adapter. This enables the Ninja V to be easily be adapted and mounted on industry-standard equipment.

• waveform

• false colour
• zoom controls
• custom LUTs
• frame guides.

These can be overlaid in any combination and AtomOS software is easy to use, providing a readily updatable platform for firmware releases.

Time saving creative effects

You can create cinematic effects, creative transitions and save time in post-production with the Get Creative update for your Ninja V. The onion skin overlay makes shooting stop-motion and creating jump or match cuts extremely simple. The ability to capture frame grabs live on-set reduces time creating thumbnails and gives you a quick reference to share with the team and is available free from my.atomos.com.

Wireless remote control

The AtomRemote app for iOS and macOS offers an array of external controls for ATOMOS CONNECT for Ninja V. The app enables you to perform a range of configuration tasks and operations up to 15 meters away from the device via Bluetooth LE. Input options include the ability to define camera connections, select Gamma/EOTF, and adjust Gamut settings. For monitoring, AtomRemote can be used to control playback, choose monitoring modes, apply custom 3D LUTs, or view image analysis tools including exposure and focus. Output controls include options for 4K to HD, LUT preview, and HDR output.

Wireless timecode

Atomos AirGlu™ adds wireless timecode, sync, and control technology to ATOMOS CONNECT for Ninja V. AirGlu locks multiple Atomos devices or compatible cameras, audio recorders, and software applications together so that they share the same frame-accurate timecode. It is also able to relay recording, battery status, and disk capacity information to the server unit. Any AirGlu device can act as the server unit, which means you’ll no longer need a huge budget or get involved in time consuming post-production workflows to produce perfectly synchronised, multi-camera video.

Supported frame rates

Ninja V is able to record more colour data and add value to your productions, maximising the quality of your movies. If your camera outputs video over HDMI, the quality can often be preserved in a 4:2:2 8-bit or 10-bit format.

Ninja V code support

1. Apple ProRes RAW up to 12-Bit RAW via HDMI & SDI
2. Apple ProRes with scalable levels of compression
3. Avid DNxHD/HR from Avid, which also offers scalable compression
