Atomos Ninja V+ Overview

If you’re shooting with an 8K camera, then why not record in 8K raw format using the Ninja V+ 5.2″ 8K HDMI H.265 Raw Recording Monitor from Atomos. The Ninja V+ is the same on-camera monitor/recorder as its predecessor the Ninja V 5″, but the Ninja+ now features a 5.2″ display and records and plays back up to 8K30 raw video to and from purpose-built mini-SSDs.

The Ninja V+ can record Apple ProRes RAW up to 8K30 or DCI 4K120 directly from the sensor, and it is compatible with an array of cameras. Display features include a 10-bit screen with a brightness of 1000 cd/m² AtomHDR technology for accurate monitoring of your log gamma footage and support for popular log formats from Sony, Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Nikon, RED, Sony, and Z CAM cameras.

When combined with the optional CONNECT module, the 10.81.00 firmware update offers:

Firmware Update 10.81.00

• Access to an array of new cloud-based video production services
• FRAME.IO camera to cloud (C2C) ability to simultaneously record both high-quality hero and efficient proxy files with matching filenames and timecode

Bug fixes:

• Optimized audio when livestreaming

8K Raw HDR Monitor/Recorder

The Atomos Silicon chip, AtomIC3, AtomOS 10, and efficient Apple ProRes RAW work together to deliver up to 8K30 and 4K120 continuous ProRes RAW recording while maintaining the HDR, 4K60 raw, and 1080p120 slow-motion abilities of the Ninja V.

5″ Daylight Viewable Screen

The Ninja V+ features a 5.2″ IPS LCD screen illuminated by a bright 1000 cd/m² LED backlight, making it possible to view in daylight without requiring a hood. Plus, the screen is also color-calibrated from the factory to ensure accurate image representation.
