With an updated operating system, HDR monitoring, and RAW recording capabilities, the Atomos Ninja 5.2" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor is a 5.2" on-camera monitor and recorder ideal for use on your next set. This monitor supports DCI 4K HDMI footage and can even record ProRes RAW up to 6K with compatible cameras. The Ninja retains the same form factor as its predecessors to be compatible with most Atomos monitor accessories for easy integration with your preexisting equipment.
Built for the new Ninja, the AtomOS 11 operating system equips your monitor with new features along with an improved icon interface for more intuitive operation. Focus Peaking, Zoom, Atomos and ARRI False Color, EL Zone colorized exposure, Safe Areas, RecordAssit, PlayBackAssist, SegmentPro, and Cine Guides are among the many monitor assist functions available. The AtomHDR processing engine allows for real-time Log to PQ/HLG previewing.
The 5.2" IPS touchscreen of the Ninja offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution with 1000 cd/m² brightness for viewing in broad daylight. The 10-bit color processing, Rec.709 color gamut, and Calibrite ColorChecker Display Pro/Plus calibration support ensure color-accurate, high-quality monitoring of your footage.
The Ninja supports the use of select Sony, ARRI, JVC, RED, FUJIFILM, Nikon, Panasonic, and Canon log formats. Upload custom 3D LUTs to the monitor and output HDR conversion to Log, HLG, PQ, or Dolby Vision formats.
The Ninja can be configured as a stand-alone system for UHD 4K, HDR, and high frame rate gaming capture. Record, monitor, and instantly review your gameplay for posting to YouTube or other platforms.
The Ninja is compatible with the separately available Atomos CONNECT module to access cloud workflows like C2C, Atomos Edit, and Atomos RemoteView via Atomos Cloud Studio. The CONNECT module adds 12G-SDI connectivity, AirGlu wireless timecode and control, Wi-Fi 6, and GigE Ethernet to your monitor interface. This allows you to send video signals to live streaming platforms, via NDI, and to custom RTMP/S destinations. You can also convert HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI video using the CONNECT module.
Use the AtomX CAST to transform your Ninja into a compact, fully featured production studio. This component enables advanced multi-input switching from four 1080p HDMI sources, the application of graphic overlays, and the ability to use a USB UVC webcam output for enhanced web conferencing and live streaming.
The Ninja is compatible with the Atomos Master Caddy II and Master Caddy III 2.5" hard drive units which support direct recording to the drives. You can also record onto compact AtomX SSDmini drives and CFAST II cards using a separately available adapter.
An L-series battery plate on the back of the Ninja can support NP-F L-series batteries outputting 5.8 to 7.2V. A USB-C port supports 30W PD power delivery with the included cable. Use the included dummy eliminator to power the monitor via DC power sources.
