Video Field Recorder, Monitor and Playback Device

The Ninja is a portable touchscreen Professional 10bit HD Recorder, Monitor, & Playback device that captures pristine video and audio direct from any camera with a clean HDMI output. It encodes in real-time to the visually-lossless Apple ProRes format, onto low-cost, removable 2 ½ inch hard disks in Apple ProRes.

In this video Atomos CEO Jeromy Young demonstrates ALL the controls and menu items on the new Atomos Ninja, and gives a guided tour of everything that comes in the case with the HDMI recorder. He also announces the forthcoming release of an HD-SDI version, the Samurai. I think I might wait for the HD-SDI version which has a few more benefits over HDMI since I have both output connections on my Sony HXR-NX5N. This will be a very useful piece of equipment for producing video when out in the field / location shooting for our up-and-coming solo girl website. More on that later!
