HDR

What is HDR (High Dynamic Range) ? is it like 3D…no not in what it does but similar in terms of it being a fad that comes around every so often, is over used in the wrong applications and then goes away again till the next time manufacturers need a new buzz word to sell more TV’s.

The new Atomos Ninja Inferno is an affordable 4K60p HDMI recorder for cameras such as the Panasonic GH5, GH4 and Sony A7sII. The Ninja Inferno features a beautiful 7-inch IPS LCD touch screen powered by the AtomHDR engine allowing 10bit monitoring of LOG signal.

At IBC 2016, Atomos announced their flagship 4K/60p, CinemaDNG Raw and HDR monitor/recorder Shogun Inferno is shipping this month with some new amazing features including ARRIRAW & Panasonic HDR Raw recording, expanded PQ & HLG compatibility for playback to HDR screens & wider support from editing packages for mobile HDR editing. The company also announced they forged a partnership with renowned hard disk and backup solutions maker G-Technology by directly integrating the Atomos Master Caddy into the G-Technology ev Series workflow solutions.

Here's a few reasons why HDR might just be the next big thing (and why you already may be shooting HDR without knowing it.)

Atomos just released the latest firmware update AtomOS 6.6 for existing Shogun and Ninja Assassin owners, giving them the chance to get HDR onto their monitoring devices. In addition, Atomos also released a beta-version of CinemaDNG Raw firmware update for Sony FS cameras for the Shogun only.
