All specications are correct when published, subject to change, E&OE.
Why did Atomos move away from the Aluminum chassis of previous Ninja and Samurai models?
One of the most important elements of any Atomos product is the build quality. This is no exception for the Shogun
which shares much of the architecture of previous models but uses an ABS Polycarbonate exterior with vented heat pipe
technology in lieu of Aluminum employed for Ninja and Samurai. The main reason for this change was to ensure that
Shogun wasn’t too hot when handling the unit as the external Aluminum acted as a heat sink. The extra benet of this
design was that the total weight remains low at only 460g/16oz (without batteries & HDD).
Recording
When will the rmware for DNxHD recording and Cinema DNG be ready?
DNxHD (HD) and DNxHR (4K) recording now ready with rmware version 6.2
Q2, 2015; Cinema DNG to record RAW from select cameras e.g FS700, C500.
Can I record 120fps from any camera?
Shogun can record up to 120fps if the camera connected is sending 120fps footage ie we cannot capture 120fps from
a lower frame rate source. At this stage there are no cameras that will output 120fps over HDMI or SDI, however the
capability is there with Shogun for the future. Currently 120p from PC’s and gaming consoles is supported. The FS700 &
FS7 will output a buffered 120p at 60p over SDI in video.
Will my camera work with the Shogun?
Shogun works with almost all 4K cameras (needs clean HDMI out) e.g. Sony A7s, Panasonic GH4, Samsung NX1, Sony
FS7. For a detailed listing, please refer to the compatibility list at www.atomos.com/discovery-what-cameras.
Does Shogun work in 4K with Sony FS700?
Sony FS700 outputs 4K only in RAW format. FS700 does not output 4K as a video signal which is needed for recording.
FS RAW to Apple ProRes 4K UHD recording is planned for end of March, while Shogun support for RAW recording is
planned Q2 2015.
Does Shogun work in 4K with Sony FS7?
Sony FS7 outputs 4K in both RAW format (via SDI) as well in Video format (via HDMI). FS7 will be supported by Shogun in
4K Video over HDMI from initial launch.
Do you support greater than 4GB le sizes
Yes we have licensed Ex-FAT from Microsoft which allows long le names and innite recording times ie no 4GB limit.
The 4GB limit is due to the ancient FAT32 system which is used by companies who do not license this from Microsoft.
