Capture RAW video from a vast range of DSLR, mirrorless and cinematic cameras with either SDI or HDMI connections. It's packed with on-screen tools for focus, exposure, customer LUTs and metadata. Shogun takes care of your workflow while you focus on creative ideas.

Improve your shots through accurate framing and check your exposure and focus on a clear, bright screen. We work with all popular camera manufacturers to support the widest range of cameras. Not just for recording uncompressed video via HDMI or SDI but working with RAW formats and being able to stop/start trigger the camera's own recording.

Colourised ExposureEL Zone System™ exposure referenced colorized image and ARRI False Colour

An important new addition to AtomOS 11, EL Zone and ARRI colorized exposure display is a powerful alternative to Atomos false colour. It allows Atomos monitors to display consistent colorized exposure across multiple monitors in a production pipeline. EL Zone is designed for camera operators, who can see the true and precise scene-referred dynamic range, colorized in stops, directly from the camera. It's ideal for assessing exposure in both HDR and SDR production. An established industry standard, it's the best way to see colorized exposure on a monitor.

RecordAssistSet a time to start recording. It's ideal for covering pre-arranged events when you need to be somewhere else. If you have several Shoguns, you can even record in multiple locations simultaneously. It's also a safer way to cover dangerous locations without risk to you and your colleagues. Finally, it's perfect for wildlife shooting. Want to capture the action by the riverbank at sunset? Just dial-in the time and come back later.

PLaybackAssistSet a time for your Shogun to play out files and even sequences. Connected to a large screen with HDMI, this is ideal for advertising and digital signage – or just displaying your work at the highest quality.

Any camera, any format, AnywherePair the Shogun equally well with smaller cameras as part of a minimal setup, or with full-size camera rigs on large-scale productions. Shogun is made from precision materials and crafted for maximum durability with a solid aluminium frame. Weighing only 360g (0.79lbs), you can use it comfortably with a handheld camera. Shogun includes anti-rotational ⅜ – 16 mount points on the top and bottom. It ships with a ¼ – 20 adaptor for easy mounting on industry-standard equipment from a wide range of manufacturers.

On set, In post, Get creativeStage clever cinematic shots and save time in post-production with the powerful Onion Skin and Frame Grab features built-in as standard. Onion skin overlay simplifies stop-motion and jump or match cuts. Capturing frame grabs live on set saves time making thumbnails and acts as a quick reference to share with the team.

A Highly Secure mountFrom individuals to large-scale cinema productions, Shogun Ultra has been built to fit into any camera rig. It features a versatile mount that can be adapted to suit different industry-standard equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. Once locked in place the mount is highly secure and offers anti-rotation settings, so you can trust Shogun Ultra to remain in place at all times.

Perfectly synchronisedAtomos AirGlu™ is included with the Shogun and adds wireless timecode, sync, and control technology. AirGlu locks multiple Atomos devices or compatible cameras, audio recorders, and software applications together so that they share the same frame-accurate timecode. It is also able to relay recording, battery status, and disk capacity information to the server unit. Any AirGlu device can act as the server unit, which means you’ll no longer need a huge budget or get involved in time-consuming post-production workflows to produce perfectly synchronized, multi-camera video. AirGlu BT is the Bluetooth timecode sync protocol adopted by many camera and audio manufacturers and AirGlu RF is the long-range sync and control protocol between Atomos connect products.

Record without limitationsThe ability to record up to 6K using advanced edit-ready formats including ProRes RAW, ProRes, and DNxHD/HR requires fast, robust, and expansive storage. Shogun supports removable SSD drives, which provide the space and sustained performance to meet these needs.

AtomX SSDmini drives are more compact than standard SATA SSDs and offer an affordable alternative to an SD card of similar capacity or performance. They support up to 4TB storage, sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 500MB/s. The AtomX SSDmini drives are able to record up to 150 minutes of 4K ProRes. Measuring 8cm long, 7.5cm wide and weighing as little as 88g, the custom-built drive neatly fits into the Shogun Connect without impacting the overall footprint of the device.
