Full specifications and pricing details are said to be revealed at a later date, but Sony have said the monitor will support 4K UHD resolution with a 1000nits brightness. The monitor will have a wide viewing angle, a 12G-SDI input as well as an HDMI connection, giving post-production users greater flexibility.

AtomOS 9.2 

At InterBee, Atomos released the long-awaited and highly anticipated Switching 2.0 Update for the Sumo 19 production monitor/recorder. AtomOS 9.2 update enables asynchronous live switching and recording of four ISO streams in Full HD in either ProRes or Avid DNx.

The new firmware update greatly simplifies multi-camera workflows and is perfect for low-budget event coverage.
