All specications are correct when published, subject to change, E&OE.
HDMI
What HDMI versions does Shogun support & what formats?
HDMI 1.4b, up to 4K 30p and HD 120p. SD is not supported. Currently no cameras output HD120 (1920x1080p120),
however some PC & game consoles do not support 120p.
I thought HDMI 2.0 was needed for 4K?
No, HDMI 1.4b supports DCI & UHD up to 4k 30p. HDMI 2.0 is the minimum standard for 4K 50p and above.
Does the Shogun loop out 4K over HDMI?
Yes. Whatever the input resolution and frame rate is will be output over HDMI & SDI. You have a built in converter.
Does the Shogun downscale 4K to HD on the loop out and in playback?
Version 6.1 or earlier did not have HD downscale. However, now with AtomOS 6.2 available, a 4K UHD input to 1080p
output with the same frame rate can be realized. This means you can still work with your existing HD infrastructure (ie HD
monitor, HD wireless transmitter, HD EVF etc) but record to 4K.
Do you support SDI loop out from a HDMI input?
Yes. You have a built in bi direction converter. Conversion is always on between HDMI and SDI and vice versa.
What is the exact delay of HDMI from Shogun?
1 frame delay on output. Remember that cameras have a delay on their HDMI output as well. The delay of the Shogun is a
maximum of 1 frame, in addition to the delay from the camera.
What cables do you recommend?
Any HDMI certied cables. The Atomos cable range has multiple HDMI connection options and coiled cable in 2 lengths.
Some cameras record at 8-bit and some at 10-bit. What bit depth are recordings on the Shogun HDMI?
Shogun, like all Atomos products record in 10-bit quality. If the source is 8-bit, we will record a 10-bit color space,
populating the 8-bit 256 RGB colors into the longer 10-bit space. This allows 10-bit editing & compositing. No color info is
added, just registries for 10-bit processing.
SDI
What SDI versions does Shogun support & what formats?
1.5G/3G/6G/12G, up to 4K 30p and HD 120p. SD is not supported. 12G SDI is an emerging technology, as more products
are developed, connectivity to new equipment will be added.
