Description
The Samurai Blade is a production recorder, waveform monitor, and playback deck for HD-SDI cameras.
Overview
Overview
The ATOMOS Samurai Blade HD-SDI Monitor / Recorder enables the user to capture footage directly from a professional SDI camera to Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD. Record high-resolution proxies from ARRI and RED, and edit inside a responsive timeline until ready to swap out the proxies for final delivery.
Instantly review footage on the Blade on location or in the edit suite. Loop straight out to a SDI broadcast monitor for client reviews and mark takes with favorites or reject clips based on client feedback. Monitor with the responsive SuperAtom 5” display. The intuitive touchscreen interface gives you one touch access to Waveform monitoring for both Luma and RGB parades, Vectorscope, Focus Peaking, Zebra Patterns and False Color. Dock the Master Caddy and import your media into your NLE, all with no transcoding. Save time in your workflow and edit faster than ever thanks to the native codecs of Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD.
While shooting in camera Log (S-Log2, S-Log3, C-Log, V-Log etc) delivers the maximum sensor detail in your recordings, when viewed on monitors it looks washed out and makes judging exposure difficult. AtomHDR brings post production for HDR monitoring to the field, displaying high brightness range of Log footage with the brightness and vibrancy as the eye sees it on our SuperAtom IPS 8-bit 400nit calibrated monitor.
Included on every Samurai Blade is SDI I/O for quick connections to SDI Broadcast and Film cameras and output to larger on set monitors for instant review.
With the hot-swappable dual battery system you will never be out of action. Keep recording and automatically swap to a second battery when power is low.
Thanks to affordable 2.5” HDDs and SDDs, expect reliable and long recordings which is ideal for event shooters. With a 1TB HDD, you can record 10+ hours of Apple ProRes HQ, breaking the 30 minute recording barrier imposed by many cameras.
NOTE: Recording time limit is camera dependent; refer to atomos.com/cameras for details.
