All specications are correct when published, subject to change, E&OE.
Does the Shogun loop out 4K over SDI?
Yes. Whatever the input resolution and frame rate is will be output over SDI.
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 HDMI loop out from a SDI input?
Yes. You have a built in bi direction converter. Conversion is always on between HDMI and SDI and vice versa.
I thought that 12G and 6G-SDI weren’t SMPTE standards yet?
To date both 12G and 6G-SDI have not been nalized by SMPTE, but there are provisional standards which cutting edge
brands like Atomos can use to develop future proof products. In the case of 12G-SDI, Atomos have created a world
rst with Shogun. While in the case of 6G-SDI Atomos and other brands have developed products compatible with the
provisional SMPTE standard. Importantly, Atomos are committed to updating our 6G and 12G-SDI products as the SMPTE
standard becomes nalized.
My camera has multiple BNC output connectors; how do I connect to the Shogun?
You either have 2 x 1.5G (older cameras) or 2 x 3G (recent cameras) or 2 x 6G (new cameras). You need a converter that
supports your 2 outputs, connecting to a faster single SDI input or converts to HDMI for connection to the Shogun. Several
brands sell these converters, please contact your local reseller for options.
6G and 12G SDI products are quite new. Has Atomos completed compatibility testing with other 6G
and 12G SDI products?
The Atomos Shogun is the world’s rst 12G-SDI product, so while there are no cameras yet to implement 12G, having it on
Shogun allows you to connect with 1.5/3/6G products today and ensures compatibility with future 12G products.
For 6G-SDI we are aware of a compatibility issue with the Blackmagic range of products. After internal testing we can
conrm that while Atomos are compliant with the latest SMPTE provisional standard (2081-1:201x - Version 4, 2014-06-
04), Blackmagic does not adhere to section 4 and section 4.1 of the specication. This is causing a compatibility issue
between both products. Atomos are committed to maintaining compliance as SMPTE updates the 6G and 12G standards,
Blackmagic users should contact them to understand when their products will be brought up to the latest SMPTE
standard. Note: BMD UltraScope - Rack monitor with scopes - 6G-SDI from Shogun is compatible! We hope URSA is
updated to this spec soon.
How far can I run each SDI cable?
Approx. Distances: 1.5G = 300m, 3G = 150m, 6G = 75m, 12G = 50m
