ATOMOS Ninja V Monitor

Product Information

To save space and support longer recordings, many cameras record compressed 4:2:0 8-bit video internally. If the camera is able to output video via HDMI, the quality can often be preserved in a 4:2:2 8-bit or 10-bit format. Ninja V can record more color information and immediately add value to your production with your existing camera rig. Additionally, if you’re shooting Log footage, the ability to bypass internal compression will offer the best possible dynamic range. Ninja V is designed to maximize the quality of your videos and allow you to extend every aspect of your creative vision. Resolution The squeeze option is essential if you’re using one of the excellent new Surui MTF Anamorphic lenses with a Panasonic GH5 or Olympus OM-D EM-5 MKII. And for HDR, Log shooting or anamorphic, it offers far more control and accuracy than you could ever get out of the camera itself. The Ninja does some processing and enables a greater range of codecs, but that isn’t going to greatly improve the video quality or give you huge amounts of additional scope when it comes to grading. However, it does record at 4:2:2 rather than 4:2:0, so there may be a marginal improvement in the colour data, although I can’t see too much of a difference.

DSLR and Mirrorless cameras may well be the popular choice for shooting video, but, there’s no getting away from the fact that they were originally designed to shoot stills. ProRes RAW is available, though camera support is limited. Nikon has announced plans for a paid upgrade for owners of the Z 6 and Z 7, and it will also be an option with the video-first Panasonic S1H.

Ultimately the Atomos Ninja V enables you to shoot great video more easily and take some of the processing strain away from your computer. Of course, an external monitor increases the size and bulk of your camera, requires power to run and cables too. This also increases cost, in some cases quite significantly. But it’s a small price to pay for getting the ultimate video quality from the camera you already own. What is the budget for your production? If it is a very small budget project, you may not have the scope for a lengthy post production process that includes editing, grading or effects. In this case H.265 may be well suited to your project, as when recording in either Rec.709 or Log with a LUT ‘baked in’, the files are unlikely to require color grading. The Atomos Ninja V is an essential add-on for owners of the latest generation of mirrorless cameras who want to get the best video their camera can manage. It opens up higher-quality formats, with more color data, and offers tools like waveforms that many stills-first cameras omit.

Finally, you need storage media. This can be expensive; I have two 500GB Angelbird SSDs specially made for the Ninja V. There is little to fault with them aside from the price and the fact that the handles are an additional cost.Remote view doesn’t need expensive hardware and uses the public internet, so it’s global. But Atomos technology ensures there are no delays. You can receive up to four RemoveView feeds on a single screen. It’s all configurable from a simple web interface.

If you try to grade 4:2:0 8-bit shot in Log on a mirrorless camera then it can be tough as the color information just isn’t there. The extra data recorded by the Atomos Ninja V make a big difference, and make shooting Log on mirrorless cameras a sensible option.
