Project Description

Atomos Shogun 7 is a precision HDR monitor-recorder-switcher designed for the film and video professional. It can be used as either a stand-alone field monitor, recorder and switcher for event, documentary and live in-the-field storytelling; or as a tool for large-scale on-set episodic TV, film and cinema productions where multiple crew members such as focus pullers, grips and cinematographers require a consistent visual reference across the field monitor ecosystem. Shogun 7’s portable size lets you monitor, analyse and tag while on set; and check how your content will look in your audience’s home via real-time DolbyVision output. With Shogun 7 you’re not locked into any format,camera manufacturer or pipeline. It is a completely flexible master recording and production station.

Monitor, record and switch between 4 live HD SDI video streams(and one program stream) for flexible in-the-field directing.Enjoy the freedom of asynchronous switching and gen lock in &out to connect to existing infrastructure. Shogun 7 offers up to HDp60 SDI ISOs x 4 recording. Once you’ve finished capturing your streams, just import the Atomos xml file into your NLE and your timeline populates with all your edits in place. Audio is also taken care of, with each ISO and program record, we insert the mixed analog stereo channels and embed 2 channels of digitalaudio in each recorded stream. The program stream always records the analog feed and switches between audio inputs for the on-camera audio to match the switched feed.

With the latest HDMI 2.0v you can capture up to 4Kp60 on any available camera, or via Quad Link, Dual Link or Single Link. If slowmotion capture is important to your production, Shogun 7 lets you capture 2K up to 240p. You can tag on-the-fly while recording for direct-to-edit look up in Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere* and Avid Media Composer*

To make the most advanced on-set production tool for creative enhancement, to achieve this we developed the most advanced screen technology today, and it took us three years. We developed“Dynamic AtomHDR” screen technology into Shogun 7’s field monitor makes your images blacks blacker and whites brighter.We include real-time output to Dolby Vision capable displays so that you can quickly check that your Creative intent will translate perfectly to audiences at home. We added Apple ProRes RAW recording to other popularly available formats. We added live a synchronous switching to record up to four real-time cameras at the same time.

The Shogun 7 screen is the most precise 7” field reference monitor to-date for both SDR and HDR production as well as up to 2Kp240 and 4Kp60. Display your work on the world’s best HDR screen with the first-to-market Dynamic AtomHDR backlit technology, with 360 zones that revolutionises the on-camera HDR monitor game.Dynamic AtomHDR achieves an astounding 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with ultra-wide colour, giving you the ultimate combination of blacker than black OLED for intense shadow detail and blazing 1500nit LCD performance for vivid high bright and HDR performance.

Atomos and Dolby have teamed up to give you live Dolby Vision HDMI out, from any SDI or HDMI HDR camera. All courtesy of AtomOS 10. Simply connect your Dolby Vision capable TV or monitor to your Atomos product* and magically, automatically, the AtomOS analyses the image, queries the TV, and applies the right colour and brightness profiles for the maximum HDR image on the display or TV. This ensures the HDR image always looks as it was creatively intended. This is a valuable on-set reference check for the creative director and client. This function is also available in playbackand playout from RAW and Log recorded ProRes RAW, ProRes andDNx rushes for instant time-saving, on-set and in-studio review. Utilize playback functions like slow motion, and insert edit and in and out points to speed up playlist compilation.

Monitor analyse and tag shots, making the most of portability while being on the go. Record direct to the desired NLE editing/ grading/transcoding formats; from camera to standard industry finishing workflows, enjoy support for Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer and Black Magic Resolve. Playback rushes on-set on-device to the best quality display or to a TV with full Dolby Vision support.
