Once again, the user can record this as an Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR video for speed & convenience or preserve the Raw as CDNG for precise manipulation in post-production. The big advantage of capturing the Raw from the C500 is that it transforms the cameras from a HD to 4K camera. Raw output from the FS5/FS700 requires a paid update to Sony & requires the add-on Sony XDCA-FS7 in the case of the FS7.Ĭanon’s Raw output is different to Sony’s, providing 10-bit images with a baked in Log and Gamut.
#SHOGUN 2 UPDATE 2017 LICENSE#
The Raw license is free on the Atomos Shogun series right back to the original Shogun. For those comfortable with editing in Raw, images are recorded to CDNG as 12-bit 4:4:4, particularly useful for higher end productions and green screen applications who prefer no Chroma sub sampling. This is again something that Convergent Design have been doing for several years. For a lot of users taking the Raw signal from the camera and recording it as Apple ProRes video will be a lot more convenient and efficient workflow if you don’t want to go through the hassle of dealing with CDNG files. You will be able to use the Atomos Shogun series to record the Raw output as CDNG Raw or direct to Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR. In uncompressed 10-bit video over SDI the maximum frame rate in HD for all 3 cameras is capped at 60p, but the Raw output enables high frame rate slow motion 100/120/200/240p capture. The Raw output from the Sony FS700, FS7 & FS5 enables high frame rate 2K recording along with higher quality 12-bit 4:4:4 images from the sensor. In the initial firmware release Atomos have enabled Sony Raw recording from the FS700 / FS7 / FS5, Canon Raw recording from the C300MKII / C500 and Panasonic Raw recording from the Varicam LT. HDMI only monitor/recorders such as the new Ninja Inferno and Ninja Flame are not compatible.ĬDNG records Raw images from a camera’s sensor as a sequence of individual frames rather than video, which allows for more flexibility over your white balance, noise reduction & debayering in the post production process. You do need to own a Shogun Inferno, Shogun Flame or one of the original Shogun products to be able to record Raw.
Convergent Design has had Raw recording for a long time on their Odyssey recorder/monitors, but you had to purchase a Raw license to enable it. They are also the world’s first monitor-recorders to offer CDNG Raw to end users for free.
#SHOGUN 2 UPDATE 2017 UPGRADE#
Atomos have promised this upgrade for quite some time, and Shogun owners will finally have access to Raw recording from quite a few cameras.Ītomos claim that this update will make these the world’s first monitor-recorders to offer CDNG recording on a single SSD.
