The Ninja’s state-of-the-art screen maintains clarity and colour in the brightest of conditions and displays bright, clear HDR images for on-set or on-location monitoring.

Compact Monitor-Recorder Made Perfect
The Atomos Ninja features a stunningly bright 5.2-inch 10-bit HDR monitor with 1000nits brightness. Sleek and durable, the aluminium body weighs just 360g and is only 25mm deep for easy mounting on any rig.

New AtomOS, New Look, New Possibilities
Introducing a new version of our operating system, AtomOS 11. Built uniquely for the new Ninja, it not only looks amazing but introduces a host of great new features.
We’ve made the tools more visible and improved the look of the icons so you know exactly what you’re selecting. It’s easier to use, more logical and feels more professional.

Endless Features with OS11
The Ninja offers a huge range of features that can enhance your workflow, including AtomOS Monitor Assist features like Focus Peaking, Zoom, Vectorscopes & Atomos and ARRI False Colour, EL Zone colourized exposure through to Safe Areas, Cine Guides and our AtomHDR processing engine that allows realtime Log>PQ/HLG previewing and more.

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Camera with Ninja
Ninja’s wide range of codecs makes it compatible with all major editing software packages. Virtually any HDMI or SDI source is supported, including cameras from Nikon, FujiFilm, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Z-Cam, Sigma, Olympus, RED and ARRI.

Ninja & ProRes RAW
Over 55 cameras now support RAW recording over HDMI on the Ninja and this list is still growing. Apple ProRes RAW combines the visual and workflow benefits of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes. It gives filmmakers enormous latitude to adjust the look of their images, making it ideal for HDR workflows. The new Apple ProRes RAW plug-in adds camera-specific characteristics to the mix.
Ninja owners can now record RAW over SDI with compatible cameras using the Atomos Connect module.
These new features make the Ninja even more versatile, providing professional I/O options for a multitude of cameras – from entry level mirrorless cameras through to the latest compact cinema and high-end professional cameras.

Ninja & Atomos Connect Module
Add an Atomos Connect module to the Ninja to access to cloud workflows like C2C, Atomos Edit and Atomos RemoteView via Atomos Cloud Studio. Connect also features 12G-SDI, AirGlu wireless timecode and control, Wi-Fi 6 and GigE Ethernet.
Access to Atomos RemoteView with a subscription to Atomos Cloud Services, using Atomos Credits for a simple 'pay as you go service'. Atomos RemoteView is a unique new service that lets you share what’s on your Atomos screen with other Atomos users, as well as with iPads, Macs and Apple TVs wirelessly. You can monitor what’s happening on-set and look through the camera taking the shot. What’s more, you can do this remotely from anywhere in the world. It’s a new degree of creative freedom for filmmakers.

NDI with Atomos Connect
NDI is a way to send video over ordinary networks (including Wi-Fi and Mobile) in high quality but with remarkably low bandwidth requirements. It’s increasingly used in live production, and now your Ninja can take part in an NDI network. The NDI TX option turns your Connect-enabled Ninja into an NDI source, visible to all other NDI compatible devices on the local network.

Record 4K HDR Gaming
Ninja is a stand-alone system for 4k UHD, HDR and high frame rate capture that eliminates expensive, complicated and unreliable PC setups.
