Atomos Ninja Inferno 7″ 4K HDMI Recording Monitor

The Atomos Ninja Inferno is a great companion for cameras and camcorders that deliver uncompressed video over HDMI, as it is capable of recording DCI and UHD 4K signals up to 60 fps. The monitor itself features 10-bit FRC processing and AtomHDR display technology that supports a brightness range of up to 10 feet, allowing you to more accurately monitor your log gamma footage without having to see flat, washed out images or use LUTs for dynamic range and color space compression. The monitor offers built-in preset modes for accurate translation of popular log formats from Sony, Canon, Panasonic, ARRI, RED and JVC cameras. These settings only affect the display, while the recorded video remains unchanged.

In addition to HDR monitoring, the monitor also offers a High Bright mode for traditional Rec. 709 monitoring. This mode uses the full 1500 cd/m² brightness, allowing for more confident monitoring in bright outdoor conditions, even without the use of a sun visor. In HDR mode, the use of the included attachable sunshade is available as displaying a wider range of brightness reduces the overall brightness of the monitor.

Incoming video signals can be recorded in a wide range of Apple ProRes and Avid DNx codecs, which maintain high quality without requiring as much storage space as uncompressed video. Standard 2.5″ SATA III recording media is supported, while compatible SSDs are capable of storing footage in all formats, including 4K and high-speed HD.

Key Features:

-AtomHDR: With AtomHDR, you can display up to 10 feet of dynamic range of your log image. Most conventional monitors can only display 6 or 7 feet, which is fine for standard footage, but will make the log image look too flat.

Record high-resolution 4K footage in DCI or UHD formats at up to 60 fps, including 24 and 25 fps for a cinematic look. All footage is saved as high-quality Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR files with 10-bit 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. A range of bit rates are available to suit your project and storage needs.

-Audio I/O: Audio can be recorded and streamed via a multi-pin locking connector. Separately available breakout cables can provide XLR audio input with 48V phantom power and output. A 3.5mm headphone jack on the side can be used for convenient audio listening.

-7″ Display Visible in Daylight: The Ninja Inferno’s 7″ LCD screen is illuminated by a bright 1500 cd/m² LED backlight, allowing daylight viewing without the need for a visor. In addition, the screen is also color calibrated at the factory to ensure accurate image reproduction.

-HDR Signal Management: LOG and HDR signals can be difficult to view with conventional equipment. With Ninja Inferno’s built-in HDR signal management features, the LOG signal can be converted to the PQ standard for compatibility with existing consumer and professional HDR equipment.
