Atomos Shogun 7, 7" HDR Pro/Cinema Monitor-Recorder-Switcher

What sets the Atomos 7" Shogun HDR Classic Monitor-Recorder-Switcher apart is its unparalleled versatility and advanced technology, making it an indispensable tool for film and video professionals. Designed for both stand-alone use and large-scale productions, this device serves as a precision HDR monitor, recorder, and switcher. Whether you're working on an episodic TV series, a cinematic film, or a live documentary, the Shogun 7 provides a consistent visual reference across your field monitor ecosystem, catering to the needs of focus pullers, grips, and cinematographers alike.

The Shogun 7's compact and portable design allows for on-set monitoring, analysis, and tagging, ensuring your content is ready for real-time Dolby Vision output. This flexibility means you're not confined to any specific format, camera manufacturer, or production pipeline. With the ability to monitor, record, and switch between four live HD SDI video streams and one program stream, the Shogun 7 offers unmatched in-the-field directing capabilities. Its asynchronous switching and gen lock in/out features seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, supporting up to HDp60 SDI ISOs x 4 recording.

Audio is expertly managed, with mixed analog stereo channels and two channels of digital audio embedded in each recorded stream. The program stream records the analog feed, synchronizing audio inputs with the switched video feed. For single-camera storytelling, the Shogun 7 captures up to 4Kp60 via HDMI 2.0v or through Quad Link, Dual Link, or Single Link, and supports 2K slow-motion capture up to 240p. On-the-fly tagging during recording allows for direct-to-edit lookup in Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, and Avid Media Composer.

Atomos' cutting-edge technology is evident in the Shogun 7's Dynamic AtomHDR screen, which delivers a remarkable 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with ultra-wide color. This technology ensures blacker blacks and brighter whites, providing intense shadow detail and vivid HDR performance with 1500nit LCD brightness. The collaboration between Atomos and Dolby enables live Dolby Vision HDMI output from any SDI or HDMI HDR camera, ensuring the HDR image is displayed as intended, both on-set and in-studio.

The Shogun 7 also supports balanced audio, eliminating the need for separate audio recorders. With the ability to add 48V stereo mics via the balanced XLR breakout cable, you can record up to 12 channels of digital audio from HDMI or SDI, monitoring through the 3.5mm headphone jack. High-speed connections allow seamless integration with any SDI or HDMI device, and cross-conversion between HDMI 2.0 and various SDI formats eliminates the need for specialist converters.

In summary, the Atomos 7" Shogun HDR Classic Monitor-Recorder-Switcher is a comprehensive, flexible, and advanced solution for professionals seeking superior HDR monitoring, recording, and switching capabilities in a portable package.
