Atomos, which creates easy-to-use, cutting-edge 4K and HD Apple ProRes monitor/ recorders, has announced that its NINJA V and NINJA V+ will support Panasonic’s new flagship Lumix GH6 camera, and that both devices will record Apple ProRes RAW to a range of profiles and framerates.
At the top end, the more powerful NINJA V+ will support the DCI 4K standard, at up to 120fps (frames per second) over HDMI.
Like its predecessors the Lumix GH6 is based on the Micro Four Third system (MFT) and features a 25.2-megapixel Live MOS sensor. The internal technology includes a new high-speed Venus Engine which can process images at twice the speed of earlier models.
Housed in a rugged body with a forced cooling mechanism, the Lumix GH6 is splash, dust and freeze resistant (to –10º C), meaning filmmakers can embark on some of the most extreme adventures and let long takes roll on with confidence.
The bright, accurate, HDR display of the NINJA V and NINJA V+ provides an accurate preview of the image from the Lumix GH6 in remarkable detail. The 5-inch touchscreen offers access to a wide range of software tools including waveforms, false colour, check focus, framing guides, LUTs and image magnification.
“We’re constantly impressed with what filmmakers can accomplish when we provide new technological solutions,” said Atomos CEO Estelle McGechie.
“We’re excited to see what they are able to produce with this latest combination. With the NINJA V/V+, filmmakers can be confident in their technical and creative decisions during production to get the perfect HDR or SDR shot.”
