Overview
The ATOMOS Shogun Inferno 7" 4K Monitor/Recorder is packed with an extensive suite of scopes, all 1-touch away and simple to use. The Video OS includes tools for focus, framing, and exposure (Focus peaking, 2:1/1:1 zoom, Zebra, False Color, Safe Area, luma/RGB parade, vectorscope), along with a flexible 3D LUT implementation (use built-in LUTs or upload .cube files) and options for de-squeezing anamorphic content.
ATOMOS invented the all-in-one monitor recorder category and now redefines it with their Shogun Inferno.
Be sure to download the Firmware V9.01 update, which supports ProRes RAW capture and playback on select cameras. This update enables the user to capture RAW footage at up to 12-bit RGB on SSD media. ProRes RAW files can be ingested directly into Final Cut Pro 10.4.1.
AtomHDR image processing lets you shoot with the high brightness range of your camera's Log profile while maintaining vibrant true-to-life colors. Conventional monitors lack this capability, displaying the brightness detail of Log but with a washed out image that makes judging exposure difficult. Be at the forefront of the HDR revolution by having a field monitor capable of resolving HDR in the field as you see it in Post Production and record the original Log image direct from the sensor for HDR grading in post production.
The touchscreen display is a full 7" HD calibrated monitor with 1500nit brightness. Snap on a sun hood to block out strong light. It features a magnetic adhesion design which ATOMOS calls snap-fast for easy UI screen access.
Inferno features ATOMOS' patented continuous power system (a hot swappable dual battery system that automatically swaps to the second battery when power is low). To support the dual battery system we include a blazingly fast battery charger, two 4-cell batteries and a D-Tap to DC coiled cable to ensure continuous power in the field is all but assured.
The Shogun Inferno has multiple audio options replacing the need for a separate audio recorder. Monitor up to 8ch of embedded HDMI audio, up to 12ch of SDI audio or use the included XLR breakout cable to connect with external microphones for balanced analogue audio with 48V phantom power.
Outside of RAW and high frame rate 4:2:2 Apple ProRes / AVID DNxHR recording, the Shogun Inferno adds recording functionality not found in other recorders. Trigger start/stop recording over HDMI or SDI popular cameras, convert interlace to progressive signals on the fly with built-in 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown or use features like Pre-roll (continuous cache recording) and Time lapse to maximize your creativity.
The exterior of the ATOMOS Shogun Inferno is what they call a "Battle Ready Build" with built-in Armor and continuous power in a lightweight design. The NP style 4-cell batteries are capable of 1.5 hours of monitoring and recording in 4K.
