Atomos has announced the launch of Ninja RAW, a five-inch HDR monitor-recorder designed to “give filmmakers, content creators and broadcasters an uncompromising and affordable tool for high-quality acquisition and precise on-set monitoring”.
This latest addition to the next-gen Ninja range can be seen at the CP+ trade show in Japan (26 February to 1 March) on the Nextorage booth #22.
