Ninja 2, Samurai, and Connect
The new Atomos Ninja 2 features HDMI input and output, as
well as support for the latest version (3.0) of the unique AtomOS
operating system. "Ninja 2 marks an important milestone for
Atomos in both product and company development; the change
in hardware design and the new AtomOS 3.0 software means that
Ninja 2 users can benefit from the same functionality updates as
our Samurai customers," said Jeromy Young, CEO and Founder
of Atomos. The Ninja 2 now boasts HDMI output as well as
HDMI input, which means it can be used to record directly from
the amazing new Nikon DSLR sensor (D4/D800) and the retinadisplay
Apple iPad, really taking advantage of their stunning HD
output. The Ninja 2 touchscreen has also been upgraded, now
incorporating an 800x480 pixel display, with a viewing angle of
170 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with much improved
visibility in direct sunlight.
Atomos announced that 30 Atomos Samurai's were used on
"Deepsea Challenger," a joint scientific expedition by James
Cameron, National Geographic and Rolex to conduct deep-ocean
research and exploration. Cameron is now the only individual ever
to complete the dive in a single-manned vehicle and the first since
1960 to reach the bottom of the world in a manned submersible.
"James needed to control all the recording and playback functions
in a very confined space in the submersible," said Jeromy Young,
CEO and Founder of Atomos. "So we specially modified our
operating system, AtomOS, so that all Samurai functions could be
initiated simultaneously from one computer." The Samurai was
chosen because it is both compact and rugged - key attributes
for recording 11km below sea level. And because of Atomos'
Continuous Power Technology the Samurais could be powered
indefinitely and still have back-up battery power.
Connect Converters are the ultimate battery powered, in-the-field
converter tool for any situation. With HD/SD-SDI and HDMI
connectivity, internal and external battery options and Atomos'
patent pending Continuous Power technology, you can convert
anytime, anywhere. Connect Converters are lightweight and fit
in your pocket. Easily powered from battery or AC, they provide
3:2 pulldown removal, test pattern and audio signal generation,
and even has a built-in torch for use in dark locations. Connect
Converters are stackable and modular and you can cascade and
power them from one source. They're even rack-mountable.
