ninja 2 Atomos

The Atomos Ninja 2 video recorder is an HDMI recorder and 800 x 480 monitor resolution that records up to 1080/30p/60i resolution directly from the camera sensor to a hard drive or SSD on Apple ProRes or DNxHD-edit ready Avid codecs. 10-bit color accuracy registers, even from an 8-bit sensor and color sampling at 4:2:2. Recording an 8-bit signal in 10 bits will not increase the quality of the signal, but it will allow you to work with the post-production signal as if it were 10-bit, which means you can add effects and not see the irregular lines and other artifacts. Being able to record directly from the sensor allows you to bypass the compression of the camera and instead of having the first compression it is in an editing codec ready. In general, the fewer compressions, the less degradation of the image. The operating system is Atomos 3.0, with sophisticated focus and exposure tools and SmartLog, which allows you to enter and exit points on your recordings and mark clips with keywords such as "good shot" and "What a bad throw."
