Atomos Ninja V 5″ 4K HDMI Recording Monitor

Capture your vision
The multi-award winning Atomos Ninja V Monitor-Recorder features a stunningly bright 5.2” 10-bit HDR display with 1000nits of output. The sleek aluminium body is crafted for maximum durability, weighing in at just 360g and measuring only 25mm thick – easily attaching to any camera rig.

Ninja V records directly from your camera’s sensor to a wide range of codecs: Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW, Avid DNx and H.265 (HEVC)*.This provides wide compatibility across camera types and edit software, giving you a new degree of creative control long before you press record.

The Ninja V takes all your creativity and brings it to life in the video you capture, regardless of whether you’re shooting cinematic productions, or vlogs for your social media channel. Whether you shoot HDR or regular SDR. Whether you use a professional cinema camera or a prosumer mirrorless camera.

Ninja V continues to innovate with regular free firmware updates, widely supported ProRes RAW recording, SDI connectivity with AtomX accessories and professional feature activations including H.265 recording.

H.265 Recording for Ninja V
Ninja V can record using the 10-bit H.265 (HEVC) codec by purchasing the upgrade at my.atomos.com for $99 (USD)

H.265 adds even more versatility to the Ninja V, by adding a high-quality compressed codec option for recording. H.265 codec is used for the final delivery of high quality video projects with very small file sizes. HEVC was specifically created to provide support for UHD HDR deliverables with wide color gamuts, and enables you to easily share and allow play back of HDR content on a wide range of devices.

State-of-the-art content creation
Ninja V is the ultimate field monitor for the on-the-go film and video creator that values capturing to high quality industry standard codecs for SDR, HDR and next generation content delivery. The Ninja V’s state-of-the-art screen maintains clarity and color in the brightest of conditions and displays the widest dynamic range in HDR.

The unique AtomHDR engine processes the incoming Log/RAW/HDR signals from your camera or device and displays in all its HDR glory on the Ninja V screen. There are matching profiles for a plethora of cameras, with more added as they emerge. Prefer to work in Rec.709? The Ninja V has you covered with the ability to load custom LUTs to match your workflow.

RAW Recording from SDI Cameras
Ninja V records ProRes RAW over SDI with compatible cameras using the AtomX SDI Module and paid upgrade of $99. The Activation Key for SDI RAW and HDMI RAW to SDI Video can be be purchased via your my.atomos.com account.

These features bring even more versatility to the Ninja V, providing professional I/O options for a multitude of cameras – from entry level mirrorless cameras through to the latest compact cinema and high-end professional cameras. Read more about how Ninja V can expand your RAW eco-system.

Wireless Remote Control
The AtomRemote app for iOS and macOS provides external controls for NINJA V, and NINJA V+ with AtomX SYNC module. This app enables filmmakers to perform a range of configuration tasks and operations wirelessly up to 15 meters via Bluetooth LE. Input options include the ability to define how the device connects to the camera, select Gamma/EOTF and adjust Gamut settings. For monitoring, AtomRemote can be used to control playback, select monitoring modes, apply custom 3D LUTs and analysis tools including exposure and focus. Output controls provide options for 4K to HD and LUT preview and HDR output.

Instant Playback & Review
Ninja V takes exactly what your camera sensor is capturing, enhances it and allows you to view and record it in amazing detail. Ninja V gives you the ability to record and instantly playback, review and tag your favourites takes to create playlists. This portable powerhouse gives you complete confidence in what you’re capturing, so you’re free to push creative boundaries more than ever before.

ProRes RAW on Canon EOS R5 C and Ninja V
The Ninja V supports recording of ProRes RAW up to 6K at up to 30 fps and 3K at up to 60fps from the Canon R5 C mirrorless camera. The EOS R5 C features a new heat dissipation system allows for extended takes and the most demanding production days.

The efficiencies of ProRes RAW make it possible to playback multiple streams of 8Kp30 ProRes RAW simultaneously. This makes it perfect for multicam projects. The built-in LTC input on the EOS R5 C means that it’s also suited for multicamera productions. It can be used with the Atomos UltraSync One, a compact wireless sync device, which can be used to connect and synchronise multiple cameras.

The technology is also compatible with the AtomX SYNC module for the Ninja V/V+. This means you can wirelessly synchronise the EOS R5 C to a range of devices. Coupled with the established Canon EOS lens systems and powerful Servo AF technology, this combination will propel filmmakers to a whole new level in terms of image quality and production value.

RECORD RAW
Ninja V & ProRes RAW
The number of cameras which now 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. This format gives filmmakers enormous latitude when adjusting the look of their images, making it ideal for HDR workflows.

Access All Areas
The Ninja V offers 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, Cine Guides and our AtomHDR processing engine that allows realtime Log>PQ/HLG previewing and more. Customizable settings & view modes — and instantly clear all overlays with a simple touch of the screen. Take control of your production at capture with Atomos Ninja V.

Weddings. Parties. Anything.
Universally popular, Ninja V ticks more boxes for more filmmakers than any other 5” monitor on the market. And it will only get better. The Ninja V’s features continue to improve and evolve with every new AtomOS release. Not only will additional ProRes RAW capable cameras be supported, other new features are constantly being added for free.

Recent additions include a wider range of frame guides (1:1, 4:5, 1:91:1 and 9:16) – perfect for social media content creation. A nine-grid overlay makes composing using the rule of thirds easy. The addition of an ARRI style false colour scale bolsters Ninja V’s impressive professional credentials.

SSD MEDIA
Break through the recording time barrier
Shooting 4K and above in advanced formats like ProRes, DNx and ProRes RAW requires storage media with ample volume, fast transfer times and high, sustained read and write speeds.

AtomX SSDmini drives complete the Ninja V’s digital workflow. Smaller than conventional SATA SSDs they are an affordable professional alternative to recording to a camera’s internal memory cards. Offering up to 2TB storage, a sequential read speed of up to 550MB/s and write speed up to 500MB/s, these drives can record up to 150 minutes of 4K ProRes on a single drive. Measuring 8cm long, 7.5cm wide and weighing as little as 88g, the custom built drives neatly fit the Ninja V’s compact proportions.
