The Atomos Ninja V+ 5" 8K HDMI Recording Monitor is the next stage in the evolution of the multi-award winning Atomos Ninja, delivering up to 8Kp30 and 4Kp120 continuous recording in Apple ProRes RAW while inheriting HDR, 4Kp60 RAW, and video as well as HDp120 slow motion from its little brother, Ninja V.
With the ability to capture in 8Kp30 and 4Kp120, the Ninja V+ allows you to stay ahead of the game and ensure that you have the flexibility to grow your system as projects demand. Future-proofed quality and formats allow you to stay compatible with newly released and existing cameras, in a world where new cameras are released frequently and technology is advancing at an incredible pace.
The Ninja V+ takes advantage of the new Atomos Silicon chip, the AtomIC3, AtomOS 10, and the incredible efficiency of ProRes RAW to deliver these increased resolutions and frame rates. The new formats also integrate seamlessly into the timeline of your existing ProRes RAW or ProRes projects, without huge storage or processing overheads.
Open standard formats
Apple ProRes is the world’s Pro Video standard for Video and RAW capture, and the number of cameras which support RAW recording over HDMI on the Ninja V+ continues to grow. ProRes RAW combines the visual and workflow benefits of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes, giving filmmakers enormous latitude when adjusting the look of their images, making it an ideal solution for HDR workflows.
The Ninja V+ also captures up to 4Kp60 in 10-bit 4:2:2 from almost every camera manufacturer, like Panasonic, Nikon, Olympus, Leica, Fujifilm, Z Cam, RED, and ARRI. It also builds upon the great workflow and versatility of Ninja V, which unites the world’s leading camera manufacturers and the industry-standard editing software for our customers.
The Ninja Solution
Smaller cameras are incredibly capable these days, but they can still be limited in terms of battery life when recording RAW and high frame rates, use expensive internal media, and can have recording limits. The Ninja V+ provides a solution to these issues with longer recording times, professional power solutions, and affordable SSD media options. In addition, you get a stunningly bright 5.2” monitor with an astounding 1000nits – 10.5 stops of HDR, plus a huge range of features that can enhance your workflow, from AtomOS Monitor Assist features like Focus Peaking, Zoom, Vectorscopes & False Color through to Safe Areas and Cine Guides. Our AtomHDR engine also processes the incoming Log/RAW/HDR signals from your camera or device and displays them in all their glory on the HDR screen of the Ninja V+.
8K Resolution Revolution
The Ninja V+ will record 8Kp30 ProRes RAW from the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera via a standard HDMI 2.0 connection. Atomos and Canon have worked together for the past 2 years to bring customers a world-first for capturing stunning 8K RAW and HDR images with incredible clarity and detail in a compact and configurable system that is very affordable when compared with other 8K setups. The possibilities you have when shooting in 8K are a true game-changer. Canon and Atomos have democratized 8K for the masses with no compromise in quality. Coming later in 2021 with an update from Canon.
More power & Less weight
Pairing the Ninja V+ with the Canon R5 gives you a powerful yet compact 8K camera package that fits in your hands and can be flexibly built out to suit your needs. It can become the basis of a compact cinema rig or you can easily create a lightweight setup. The Canon R5 with a 24mm Cine Lens, Ninja V+, NPF battery, and media comes in under 3KG/7lb, which can be easily carried by a wide range of aerial drones, gimbals, and stabilizers as well as vehicles and robot arms.
Resolution means creative flexibility
With the broad canvas of 8K resolution, your options for creative crops into a region of interest allow you to extract multiple 4K shots from a single camera angle. This allows you to create additional shots for cutaways to break up the edit, which are much higher resolution than if the shots were extracted from a single 4K source.
You can also create multiple high-resolution vertical or square crops in regions of interest in posts for social media, which can also be previewed on the Ninja V+ with social media frame guides. This allows you to maximize the camera’s resolution to achieve 4K 9:16 vertical aspect ratios without having to compromise the way you shoot for mainstream delivery.
Stabilize without compromise
The incredible resolution of 8K video means that even after cropping into the image as part of the stabilization process, the final shot will likely still have a resolution of 4K or even 6K. This means that it can integrate with your other 8K footage on the timeline, and still look great.
Razor-sharp screenshots
High-resolution screenshots from 8K full-frame cameras also offer the ability to create scene plates for small-scale virtual production stages or use them in other content platforms.
4Kp120 ProRes RAW with SONY and Z CAM
The Ninja V+ allows you to capture content at up to 4Kp120 in pristine ProRes RAW for high frame rate video that has exceptional image quality. This is a great alternative to using the internal compressed codecs on your camera for high frame rate recording, as they can apply higher levels of colour compression and subsampling, leading to potential artifacts or limitations in the edit/grade.
See the unseen
Capture and visualize the unseen with 4Kp120 recording at up to ProRes RAW from the Ninja V+ and Sony FX6/FX9 and Z CAM E2 /E2-M4 models, with more models to follow. Fully harness the dynamic range of the sensor, capture every aspect of motion and movement directly via RAW over SDI* or HDMI. Add to this the benefit of being able to playback the high frame rate video captured on the Ninja V+ at various playback speeds to preview the adjustments you can make on your NLE timeline. See the Ninja V+ Pro-Kit section for information on capturing 4Kp120 ProRes RAW from the SDI RAW output of the Sony FX9* and Sony FX6*.
*The FX9 requires the XDCA-FX9 Extension unit and both the FX6 and FX9 require the AtomX SDI module with RAW activation (or the Pro Kit).
An incredible codec arsenal
With the flexibility of providing options for RAW, visually lossless edit-ready files, and proxy/sharable files, you have the ability to scale your needs for quality and file size.
H.265 High Quality
Included in the codec arsenal is the ability to record video inputs using the 10-bit H.265 (HEVC) codec, for compressed recordings that combine excellent image quality with small file size. This is a very powerful combination for the world we now live in, where streaming and sharing online has dramatically increased, as the small file size will make the uploading process very fast.
When there is no time or budget for color grading, you can ‘bake in’ Rec. 709 or a custom LUT into the H.265 files so that they already have contrast and saturation applied and share or deliver your files immediately after a shoot. H.265 is also an excellent option for recording high-quality proxy files in an ARRI or RED SDI workflow using the AtomX SDI module or the Pro Kit. The proxy files will have the same filename as the RAW files being recorded internally on the camera, to facilitate the proxy workflow in post-production.
Capture your vision
Harnessing the power of the Atomos Silicon AtomIC3, the latest in silicon chip technology, the Ninja V+ is a premium Ninja that has plenty of grunt for the increased resolutions and frame rates from selected cameras, and also supports all of the cameras that are compatible with the Ninja V+ as listed on www.atomos.com.
ProRes RAW
The number of cameras which support RAW recording over HDMI on the Ninja V+ continues to grow. ProRes RAW combines the visual and workflow benefits of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes. This format gives filmmakers enormous latitude when adjusting the look of their images, making it ideal for HDR workflows.
AtomX Modules
AtomX Expansion modules attach to the Expansion Slot on your Ninja V+ and provide additional connections and functionality. The extra horsepower from the Atomos Silicon AtomIC3 chip also allows you to add other ‘plus’ features when combined with upcoming AtomX modules and future Atomos products.
Upgrade your Connection options
The AtomX SDI Expansion Module locks into place via the modular expansion slot and adds the quality and convenience of SDI connectivity to your Ninja V+, which allows you to monitor and record SDI video up to 4Kp60 from a range of professional cameras and video sources. Adding SDI connections to your Ninja more than doubles its I/O functionality as both HDMI and SDI connections can be cross converted, and you have options for DCI crop and 4K to HD down conversion to provide a bridge between equipment such as EVFs and wireless TX/RX without the need for additional converters.
HDMI / SDI: Cross Conversion
When an AtomX SDI Expansion module is attached to your Ninja V+, you can cross convert HDMI and SDI signals, which means that you can convert from HDMI to SDI and from SDI to HDMI. You can also cross convert HDMI RAW signals to SDI, once your Ninja V+ has been activated for RAW over SDI at my.atomos.com. Where an SDI Video signal is connected to your AtomX SDI Expansion module, you can output an HDMI signal over the HDMI Out on your Ninja V+.
RAW over SDI: RAW versatility
Ninja V+ owners can also benefit from the ability to record RAW over SDI with compatible cameras using the AtomX SDI Module and an additional $99 SDI RAW upgrade. The Activation Key for SDI RAW and HDMI RAW to SDI Video can be added at any time and is available to purchase via your my.atomos.com account.
These features bring even more versatility to the Ninja V+, providing professional I/O options for a multitude of cameras – from entry-level mirrorless cameras through to the latest compact cinema and high-end professional cameras. Read more about how the RAW over SDI activation can expand your RAW eco-system and provide new and reliable solutions for all on-set and Multicam productions in the Ninja V+ Pro-Kit section.
AtomX SYNC
You no longer need a huge budget or a highly skilled editor to produce perfectly synchronized, multicamera video. The AtomX Sync module brings wireless timecode, sync, and control technology to the Ninja V+, and you can connect multiple AtomX SYNC-enabled Ninja V+ units to create a Timecode Systems powered multi-camera sync network. Remotely trigger frame-accurate record start/stop recording, monitor, battery, and disk capacity information from the SYNC server configured Ninja V+.
Media
Affordability, accessibility, and choice allow users to select recording media to meet their needs. High resolution and high frame rates require sustained media performance, which we have achieved through our ongoing developments with both codecs and data handling. The AtomX SSDmini offers a native fit and will support up to 8K30p and 4K120p.
