The All New Ninja implements Apple ProRes in hardware to give you real-time,10-bit recording anytime, anywhere. It takes advantage of low cost,modern technology by utilising HDMI capable pro video and consumercamcorders as well as DSLRs. Record directly to the Ninja on locationin super high quality, for the most streamlined, affordable Final CutPro workflow available today.
Continuous, Hot-Swappable Power
Powering video devices on location or away from studio environmentscan be a problem. We decided that two batteries were better than oneand designed a unique Active/Passive Dual Battery system that means youneed never run out of juice on a shoot. When the active battery isdepleted, Ninja automatically switches to the fully-charged passivebattery. You can simply swap batteries on the fly without affectingoperation, and we include two batteries with every Ninja!
Record and Store
Keep your pristine footage in the Master Caddy on the shelf forarchiving after production. The drives are cheap, the format is highquality and the original recording will always be there for peace ofmind. Before Ninja, storing your rushes on the original digital mediawas unthinkable, now it's a no-brainer.
True Nonlinear Production
Enter the Atomos Ninja, produced using cutting edge technologyintegrating the Apple ProRes codec and ready to rock your digitalproduction world!
The Ninja by-passes in-camera compression to record your pristine,uncompressed images straight from the HDMI connector of your DSLR orcamcorder directly to Apple ProRes - while you're recording!
Now there's no need for capture cards or I/O boxes Final Cut Pro users can just go straight from lens to timeline!
Low-cost, High-Capacity storage
Using flash memory (CF, SD, SDHC) may be ok for stills photography,but it's just not there yet for serious high-definition videoproduction. The professional alternatives SxS, P2 are too prohibitivelypriced to just ‘record and forget’. Our goal was to reduce the cost ofrecording media so drastically that digital media production could beachieved on a traditional tape-based cost model.
The Ninja uses ordinary, low cost 2.5 Notebook HDD or SSD harddrives. These are housed securely inside the Atomos Master Caddy, whichlocks inside the Ninja. The drives are hot swappable, which meansinserting new drives on the fly is a snap.
Using tried and tested storage guarantees performance andreliability. A 750GB/5400rpm drive holds 8 hours of high quality AppleProRes footage and costs just €90! Spinning HDDs are for everyday use,in normal conditions, while solid-state SSDs can be used in more ruggedlocations.
A Pipeline To Your Timeline
The Ninja's tight Apple ProRes integration means recorded footage isinstantly and natively editable in Final Cut Pro. No need to waste timetranscoding or converting from other camera formats. We use standardcomputer connections: FireWire 800, USB 2/3 or e-SATA to give you totalflexibility when connecting to your MacBook, iMac or MacPro. Simplyinsert your Master Caddy into the Master Caddy Dock provided and youare editing instantly. You can also, of course, transfer the footage toyour central SAN or LAN.
Simple Operation. Rugged, PortabLe Design
The Ninja is simple to use, rugged and portable.
There are no fiddly buttons, just a crisp, high-resolution touchscreen monitor. Ninja has just FOUR main functions: Record, Stop,Monitor and Play. That's about as simple as it can get! The userinterface is designed for one-touch operation with every functionclearly visible and accessible.
The Ninja is designed to sit silently on or near the camera orcamera operator, so it's small, light yet tough. Made from lightweight,high-grade aluminium, the connectors, storage and batteries are alleasily accessible. Line level audio provides higher quality audio thanmost cameras offer, and the 1/4 headphone out allows for audiomonitoring level adjustment.
