Believe it or Not

Believe it or not this is a true story about my Nina Blade purchase. Purchased the Ninja Blade last few days of December 2017 on sale from Adorama. Shipping was quick. Received the Blade and kit in perfect working order just as advertised brand new. Registered myself and my NB unit with Atomos. Up dated the Firmware to version 5.2. The NB worked seamlessly with my Canon 5dm4 for about two weeks recording great ProRes footage at 24p, 30p or i59.94 frame rates. Then I started to experience screen distortions on the NB display (sync issues). So early Monday morning (1/15/2018) I went to the Atomos website log on and created support ticket with them. I made a short video with my cell phone showing the sync issues on the NB display screen. I included the video, a description of the problem in the support ticket and hit the send button to Atomos. By 12:00PM Atomos had sent me acknowledgement of the NB problem and a Fedx prepaid label. They instructed me to box up the NB and send it to them for repair or possible replacement. Wednesday Atomost Support emailed me stating my unit was replaced with a new one. The new unit arrived Thursday afternoon and has been working great. In spite of the glitch with the first NB failing would recommended the product and the Atomos company. If I ever upgrade to a more capable Recorder it will be an Atomos. My experience with Adorama and Atomos support was top notch.

A great deal of my work has involved showing up on location without prior scouting and with little direction from my client. That means it’s up to me to shoot enough of the right video so that I can be as flexible as possible in post. So I’ve developed a philosophy,or style, for these types of jo...

Excellent monitor, lots of useful tools. Price was a no-brainer after the discount.

Professional media production is all about balancing quality, cost and time. Atomos understands this dynamic and their aim is to redefine the digital recording workflow to maintain the highest recording quality and the time taken to move video from camera to computer and lower the cost of production using affordable, high capacity, high speed media. The Ninja Blade takes any uncompressed HD or SD source and encodes it in real-time to 10-bit, 4:2:2 Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD at up to 220Mbps. Both are class-leading codecs for production, broadcasting, editing and post-production. Because we are portable, we can record from the ultimate image source, the sensor of the camera. The Ninja Blade always records in 10-bit, even from an 8-bit source. We add color registries for incorporating higher bit-depth graphics from CG, animation and special effects. This avoids banding and makes editing and grading, in fact any precision effect, more accurate.

1280x720 SuperAtom IPS screen
At 325 dpi and 1 million pixels 1280x720 the Ninja Blade's 5" SuperAtom IPS Panel delivers amazing resolution, super accurate colours and super deep blacks. The Ninja Blade is the first truly professional monitor that records, offering full waveform functionality, including vectorscope, in addition to focus peaking, zebra, false colour and blue-only monitoring tools.

Any or HD-SDI or HDMI source
Ninja Blade has HDMI In as standard and can accept HD/SD-SDI inpu t with the addition of a Connect S2H or Connect-AC H2S.

Pristine Playback & Playout
Use your Ninja Blade's screen to navigate through and review your footage, to mark in and out points and input XML tags. Instantly show your material to production colleagues, clients or talent, and check each shot in detail, during or after the shoot - logging their suggestions without leaving the set.Review and log an entire day's shoot on-set, or while traveling, with high quality playback and comprehensive clip logging and navigation controls. Just touch "Play" on the Ninja Blade screen and view your full HD recordings, with up to of 10 hours playback and editing on one battery charge (and don't forget Atomos's patent pending Continuous Power for unlimited operation in the field)
