In nuce: According to a recent press release from Atomos, both Ninja V and Ninja V will support the Panasonic Lumix GH6 in the future. Both devices will record with Apple’s ProRes RAW. In addition, the slightly more powerful Ninja V will support the DCI-4K standard, recording at up to 120 frames per second via HDMI.
What are Ninja V & Ninja V (and what can they do)? According to the press release, the Ninja V and Ninja V HDR displays faithfully reproduce the film images captured by the Lumix GH6. It also states that the 5-inch touchscreen offers access to numerous software tools, including waveforms, false colours, check focus, framing guides, LUTs and image magnification.
What can the Ninja V/V and Lumix GH6 do together? The press release goes on to say that processing ProRes RAW files at DCI 4Kp120 requires the Ninja V’s skills. At the same time, however, Ninja V and Ninja V offer an extensive range of alternative formats and frame rates. It is also emphasised that thanks to their robust design and compact construction, both devices are suitable for uncomplicated transport to any filming location. The Lumix Gh6 and the Ninja V/V can be mounted on a gimbal as a handheld setup – even in the tightest of spaces, as the product description describes.
ProRes Raw – what are the advantages? Atomos continues to speak very favourably about ProRes Raw in the press release and is also delighted to be able to offer its users ProRes Raw and the less compressed ProRes RAW HQ. Atomos also points out that ProRes Raw is supported by Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer, as well as a range of other popular film software such as Assimilate Scratch, Colorfront, Filmlight Baselight and Grass Valley Edius.
What products does Atomos offer? Headquartered in Australia, Atomos offers you easy-to-use, state-of-the-art 4K and HD Apple ProRes monitors and recorders. Atomos has also developed its own operating system for video recording, which is entirely dedicated to the touchscreen user interface. Furthermore, according to the press release, Atomos was the first company to introduce Apple’s ProRes RAW format for recording with cinema cameras.
