Atomos release new AtomOS 8.41 firmware for the Sumo HDR production monitors (Sumo19 and Sumo19m). Update version 8.41 improves on the blacks and dynamic back-light control of the previous release, adding further improved black levels and screen response.
Currently Atomos is running a FREE sunhood promotion when you buy a Sumo19 or Sumo19M before the 15th December 2017. The sunhood is a fully collapsible zipper design that securely attaches to the front bezel of the Sumo body via 1/4-20 screws.
This design allows the collapsed hood to double up as a screen protector for safe transportation. The Sumo19/Sumo19M sunhood reduces the effect of reflections onset improving your HDR experience and viewing environment, with a durable outer fabric and a soft velvet inner, making it a must for onset monitoring.

AtomOS 8.41 Firmware also adds support for the Panasonic AU-EVA1’s 6G-SDI output with audio embedding as well as support for the ARRI Alexa Mini and Amira’s 6G-SDI outputs, plus other 6G cameras and switchers. The Sumo19 gains the same SDI 1 and SDI 2 input selection touchscreen toggle from the Sumo19M.
