Atomos has announced the Shinobi 7 RX, a seven-inch 2200nit HDR monitor that’s “ideal” as a director’s monitor, focus puller’s monitor and programme or preview display for video switchers.
Shinobi 7 RX is a redesign of the Shinobi 7 monitor that includes the camera control and touch to focus functionality of Shinobi II, plus wireless video monitoring.
Atomos CEO Peter Barber said: “With Shinobi 7 RX we have taken everything people loved about the original Shinobi 7 and made it better.
“It has been one of our most popular monitors and we wanted to bring across the powerful camera control features that were first introduced with Shinobi II.
“We have also added high-quality wireless video monitoring, making Shinobi 7 RX a perfect companion for our Atomos TX RX wireless monitoring system.
“Whether you mount an Atomos TX directly to the camera, or loop out from a Ninja recorder, you can now monitor wirelessly on set with multiple Shinobi 7 RX units.
“And with up to four wireless video destinations per Atomos TX monitoring transmitter, your director and your client can each have their own dedicated view. It is a versatile, rugged, super bright monitor that we are very proud to deliver.”
Shinobi 7 RX controls a host of Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic and Sony cameras over USB-C, and Z CAM E2 models through a separate serial cable.
The camera control interface has been designed with a focus on common settings that need to be adjusted on a shot-by-shot basis, and Shinobi 7 RX has sliders for adjusting lens aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
The 2200nit HDR monitor can be used in combination with Atomos’ monitoring tools including EL Zone/ARRI false colour, histogram, waveform, zebra, focus peaking and zoom.
The addition of Wi-Fi connectivity provides a link between the Shinobi 7 RX and the TX component of Atomos’ TX-RX wireless video system, introduced earlier this year, or an RTSP H.264 stream.
Atomos TX-RX delivers low-latency (less than 60ms) HD-SDI and 4K HDMI video transmission for wireless on-set monitoring over distances up to 300m (1000ft). This gives crews the freedom to change camera angles, reposition gear or go completely handheld without having to disconnect director or client monitors.
Shinobi 7 RX’s key features are as follows:
- Super-bright, 7-inch HDR screen with a calibrated peak brightness of 2200nits
- HDMI and 3G-SDI input and output
- Camera control over USB-C (supported camera models)
- Touch to focus (supported camera models)
- 5G Wi-Fi for low latency (<60ms) receive from Atomos TX or RTSP H.264 stream
- Stunning 10+ stops of dynamic range in real-time from Log/PQ/HLG signals
- Built-in 3D LUT box
- Supports 8-channel, 24-bit audio input via SDI
- Supports on-device calibration (no computer required)
- Dual NPF battery slots
Shinobi 7 RX will cost €699, excluding local sales taxes, and will be available from Atomos authorised resellers and on the Atomos web store towards the end of October.
