Atomos Ninja V+

Open Standard Formats from Every Camera

Apple ProRes is the world’s Pro Video standard for Video and RAW capture, and the number of cameras which support RAW recording over HDMI on the Ninja V+ continues to grow. ProRes RAW combines the visual and workflow benefits of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes, giving filmmakers enormous latitude when adjusting the look of their images, making it an ideal solution for HDR workflows.

The Ninja V+ also captures up to 4Kp60 in 10-bit 4:2:2 from almost every camera manufacturer, like Panasonic, Nikon, Olympus, Leica, Fujifilm, Z Cam, RED and ARRI. It also builds upon the great workflow and versatility of Ninja V, that unites the world’s leading camera manufacturers and the industry standard editing software for our customers.

The Ninja Solution

Smaller cameras are incredibly capable these days, but they can still be limited in terms of battery life when recording RAW and high frame rates, use expensive internal media and can have recording limits. The Ninja V+ provides a solution to these issues with longer recording times, professional power solutions and affordable SSD media options. In addition, you get a stunningly bright 5.2” monitor with an astounding 1000nits – 10.5 stops of HDR, plus a huge range of features that can enhance your workflow, from AtomOS Monitor Assist features like Focus Peaking, Zoom, Vectorscopes & False Color through to Safe Areas and Cine Guides. Our AtomHDR engine also processes the incoming Log/RAW/HDR signals from your camera or device and displays the HDR screen of the Ninja V+.

Ready for the future

The Ninja V+ will record 8Kp30 ProRes RAW from the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera via a standard HDMI 2.0 connection. Atomos and Canon have worked together for the past 2 years to bring customers a world first in capturing stunning 8K RAW and HDR images with incredible clarity and detail in a compact and configurable system that is very affordable in comparison to other 8K setups. Explore all possibilities when shooting in 8K. Canon and Atomos have democratized 8K for the masses with no compromise in quality. More to come in late 2021 with an update from Canon.

Starting with the Canon EOS R5

The ProRes RAW format is a perfect vehicle for an 8K workflow, from ease of use natively on the timeline within Final Cut Pro to the flexibility of RAW image processing with full adjustment of Exposure, WB and ISO. Coupled with the proven Full Frame EOS R5, lens systems and AF, this combination will propel content creators to a whole new level in terms of image quality and production value.

More Power. Less Weight.

Pairing the Ninja V+ with the Canon EOS R5 gives you a powerful yet compact 8K camera package that fits in your hands and can be flexibly built out to suit your needs. It can be the basis of a compact cinema rig or you can easily create a lightweight setup. The Canon EOS R5 with a 24mm Cine Lens, Ninja V+, NPF battery and media comes in under 3KG/7lb, which can be easily carried by a wide range of aerial drones, gimbals and stabilizers, vehicles and robot arms.

Resolution means Creative Flexibility

With the broad canvas of 8K resolution, your options for creative crops into a region of interest, allowing you to extract multiple 4K shots from a single camera angle. This allows you to create additional shots for cutaways to break up the edit that are higher in resolution than if the shots were extracted from a single 4K source.

Create multiple high-resolution vertical or square crops in regions of interest in post for social media, which can be previewed on the Ninja V+ with social media frame guides. This allows you to maximize the camera’s resolution to achieve 4K 9:16 vertical aspect ratios without having to compromise the way you shoot for mainstream delivery.

Stabilise Without Compromise

With the incredible resolution of 8K video, the final shot will likely still have a resolution of 4K or 6K. You can integrate with other 8K footage on the timeline and still look great.

Razor Sharp Screenshots

High resolution screenshots from 8K full frame cameras offer the ability to create scene plates for small scale virtual production stages or use in other content platforms.

Pristine 4Kp120 ProRes RAW

The Ninja V+ allows you to capture content at up to 4Kp120 in pristine ProRes RAW for high frame rate video that has exceptional image quality. This is a great alternative to using the internal compressed codecs on your camera for high frame rate recording, as they can apply higher levels of colour compression and subsampling, leading to potential artifacts or limitation in the edit/grade.

See the Unseen

Capture and visualize the unseen with 4Kp120 recording at up to ProRes RAW from the Ninja V+ and Sony FX6/FX9 and Z CAM E2 /E2-M4 models, with more models to follow. Fully harness the dynamic range of the sensor, capture every aspect of motion and movement directly via RAW over SDI* or HDMI. Another benefit is being able to play back the high frame rate video captured on the Ninja V+ at various play back speeds to preview the adjustments you can make on your NLE timeline. See the Ninja V+ Pro Kit section for information on capturing 4Kp120 ProRes RAW from the SDI RAW output of the Sony FX9* and Sony FX6*.
*The FX9 requires the XDCA-FX9 Extension unit and both the FX6 and FX9 require the AtomX SDI module with RAW activation (or the Pro Kit).

An Incredible Codec Arsenal

With the flexibility of providing options for RAW, visually lossless edit ready files, and proxy/sharable files, scale your needs for quality and file size.

• Apple ProRes RAW – supporting 16bit RAW outputs from camera via HDMI and optionally via SDI
• Apple ProRes – An industry standard edit-ready codec from Apple with scalable levels of compression
• Avid DNx – An industry standard edit-ready codec for Avid editors with scalable levels of compression
• H.265 (HEVC) – The highly efficient compressed codec allows you to create high-quality files with a low bit rate and small file size for sharing. You can also create 4K HDR 10-bit deliverables and have the option to ‘bake in’ LUTs to achieve the final pixel LOOK without the need to grade the footage.
