Atomos Shogun 7
7" HDR Pro/Cinema Monitor-Recorder-Switcher
Unbelievable HDR, real-time Dolby Vision monitoring
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, analyze and tag while on set; and check how your content will look in your audience’s home via real-time Dolby Vision 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.
Live multi-cam has never been more portable
A new era of affordable, portable and intuitive multi-camera production has begun. Simply touch the Shogun 7 screen to switch between 4 live HD SDI video streams up to 1080p60. Send the resulting switched program output to SDI to HDMI for live streaming or transmission. Record all four inputs as separate ISOs, plus the program output as a fifth stream. This is all done asynchronous, without the need for genlocked sources.
All switches are recorded as metadata with a choice of transition type. Once you’ve finished capturing your streams, simply import the resulting Apple Final Cut . xml file along with your ISOs into your NLE and the timeline automatically populates with all the transitions in place.
Audio is also taken care of, every ISO can record the 2-channel embedded digital audio from each source, as well as the mixed analog stereo channels coming into the Shogun 7 (via optional XLR breakout cable). The program stream always records the analog feed and switches between audio inputs for the on-camera audio to match the switched feed.
Single-camera storytelling in 4K, or 2K slow-mo
Capturing in 4K is now becoming a requirement for content streaming providers. 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 slow motion 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.

Atomos technology brings the real world to your monitor
Introducing Dynamic AtomHDR technology, designed by Atomos to yield a 1,000,000:1 screen contrast ratio. With Shogun 7 blacks and colors are rich and deep. Images appear to ‘pop’ with added dimensionality and detail. The incredible Atomos screen uses a unique combination of advanced LED and LCD technologies which together offer deeper, better blacks than rival OLED screens, but with the much higher brightness and vivid color performance of top-end LCDs. Objects appear more lifelike than ever, with complex textures and gradations beautifully revealed. In short, Shogun 7 offers the most detailed window into your image, truly changing the way you create visually.
The best HDR just got better
A new 360 zone backlight is combined with our new screen technology and controlled by the Dynamic AtomHDR engine to show millions of shades of brightness and color, yielding jaw-dropping results. It allows Shogun 7 to display 15+ stops of real dynamic range on-screen. The panel is also incredibly accurate, with ultra-wide color and 105% of DCI-P3 covered. For the first time you can enjoy on-screen the same dynamic range, palette of colors and shades that your camera sensor sees.
Record RAW, deliver accurate Dolby Vision HDR
The challenge with HDR production is maintaining the creative intent of the production at the time of shooting vs the finished product that is viewed on devices and TVs. Atomos and Dolby have teamed up to give you Dolby Vision live HDMI out, in real-time, from any SDI or HDMI HDR camera. All courtesy of AtomOS 10.
Simply connect your Dolby Vision capable TV or monitor to your Shogun 7 or Ninja V and magically, automatically, the AtomOS analyses the image, queries the TV, and applies the right color 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 by the creator. This is a valuable on-set reference check for the creative director and client.
This function is also available in playback and playout from RAW and Log recorded ProRes RAW, ProRes and DNx rushes for instant time-saving, on-set and in-studio review. Utilise playback functions like slow motion, and insert edit and in and out points to speed up playlist compilation.
