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. The built-in redundant dual power supply balances the power load and is lined to the user interface to provide warning if a PSU fails.

These Wave Form monitors offer Luma, RGD parade, Vector Scope with Vector zoom functions. Its 1:1 and 2:1 zoom function lets you zoom in to check shots for focus and exposure - perfect when shooting with a remote camera control unit. The Atomos Shogun Studio II also offers Focus peaking, zebra and false color functions. It supports audio monitoring by providing VU meters for up to 12 channels of embedded audio.

With the bi-directional SDI and HDMI signal support, this recorder/monitor can be used to connect an HDMI input source and to an SDI source.

Playback and Playlist

In addition to the recording and monitoring tools, this unit can play videos at up to 60p and HD HFR rate at reduced speeds. Both 4K and HD content can be viewed in the same visually lossless quality as the input. You can create playlists from clips either recorded on an Atomos recorder or from your edit system in a supported codec, resolution, and frame rate. You can also group clips to be played in either a run down or reverse order without the need for a play out server. Mark in and out points to create sub clips, loop the playlist or a single file, or you can also mark inputs and outputs for looped playback.

Finally, assemble the clips to create a linear playlist of your favorite clips and instantly push them out to live feed for real-time monitoring. Marked in and out points are carried right through to your edit with the export of edit decisions lists in XML that can be imported with clips in to Apple or convert the XML for use in Avid or Adobe.
