Following the same core Atomos principles of record, play, monitor and edit, the Shogun Studio II allows you to overcome many of the challenges faced within live events, production galleries, post-production facility MCR, video wall playout, on set DIT, sports officiating and many more. It features dual 7-inch monitors that are designed and calibrated to enhance existing HD workflows and provide an affordable rack mount solution for creating 4K masters. Atomos has defined the ability to migrate away for MPEG-based GOP codecs with high levels of compression and reduced color accuracy by capturing content direct from the sensors of any camera that outputs a clean feed such as studio camera channels, Remote Pan Tilt Zoom and TX outputs from vision mixers. This also includes RAW outputs from large sensor cinematic cameras into highly efficient ProRes RAW codec or visually lossless industry standard Apple ProRes and Avid DNx edit ready codecs.

3RU Form Factor

The 3RU form factor offers a toolset beyond that of a simple recorder with features that could traditionally require up to 10u of equipment. Its short rack depth also means that it’s perfect for use in monitor bridges or small more mobile OB vehicles.

HDR and Color Pipeline Management

Supporting Log inputs from all major camera vendors to provide options for use of 3D LUTs with included Log to 709 and support for up to 8 cube files per recorder channel. The built in AtomHDR engine also provides support for Rec.2100 standards with options to monitor in HDR for LOG, HLG and PQ with output transfers to color gamuts, HDR monitoring with EOTF transform on output options for HLG, ST.2084 PQ in Rec.2020 or DCI-P3. Realtime Dolby Vision output tunneling allows for inputs to be dynamically output to supported HDR consumer TVs for client viewing, Gallery viewing or infield QC before final mastering via the Dolby eMCU in Post.

Video, Audio and Synchronization I/O

The rear of the Shogun Studio II provides grouped connectivity for each of the recorder channels with 12G, 6G, 3G (single, Dual, Quad) and 1.5B SDI I/O, HDMI with support for both the inputs and outs alongside XLR audio I/O, Genlock and LTC input as well as loop through. Bi-directional SDI & HDMI signal convertors easily allowing the use of HDMI equipment such as DSLRs on input for routing to a mixer or LCD screens in the gallery to take a feed from and SDI multi viewer. Built into the IO is 4K to HD signal down convert on both SDI and HDMI. Redundant Dual Power Supply balances the power load and are lined to the user interface to provide warning if a PSU fails.

Advanced Record Modes

Beyond a simple recorder, the Shogun Studio II offers a number of different record modes that make it suited for a wide range of uses. Pre Roll: Continually cache record 8 seconds in HD or 2-3 seconds in 4k to make sure you never miss the action.

Multi Camera ISO Recording and Switching

Record up to 8 SDI inputs from cameras at up to 1080p60. Each bank of four inputs also benefits from a switched output allowing you to have two video switched or mange more feeds than you may have input for on your video mixer.

Fast Act Dual Record Button

The Shogun Studio II also includes a hardware button that allows for both channels to be set to start recording. Pressing the button on the front of the unit for 4 seconds will set both channels to start to record. With SSDs inserted and sources connect you can switch from playing back clips to dual recording in under 10 seconds or even if the devices is not turn on to jump to recording from a cold boot in under round 20 seconds.
