NEW: Ninja Blade launched
Home | Atomos
It is a Samurai Blade but with HDMI-ports instead of SDI-ports. Usefull if your camera has HDMI - and if you wish to use the better capabilities of the Balde compared with the Ninja2 (higher resolution of monitor, waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade). I have tested the new unit and can confirm that it is great! :) |

Re: NEW: Ninja Blade launched
Played with it a little at BVE in London. Very nice screen (a big step up from the awful screen on the Ninja2) and I think it'll sell well. Still pondering about getting one for my C100...primarily as a better monitor as the LCD on the C100 is far from perfect.

Re: NEW: Ninja Blade launched
Focus (monitor zoom) expansion is the only thing the Ninja and Samurai are missing.
I dont understand what the problem has been in adding it. Is there a processor or graphics limitation that is making development diffucult? If Atomos can just figure out a way to get that in, they would then reach the "100% perfect recorder" stamp from me. Atomos...is there anything you want to say about this? CT |

Re: NEW: Ninja Blade launched
I am not Atomos, but I ask myself how one unit should manage to learn all the different signals required to control all the different cameras. It would not be enough to have a zoom control, I would also aks for an iris and shutter speed and white balance control. But such remote control units are different for every camera type - Sony is not compatible with Panasonic what is not compatible with Canon what is not compatible with Nikon and so on.
I think it would be enough if a lot of hdmi cameras could be manage to start/stop the recording function on the Atomos units - embedded in hdmi. That works for few units only. |
