Atomos Sumo 4K Monitor & Recorder sku AO-ATOMSUMO19
AtomosAbout the Atomos Sumo 4K Monitor & Recorder
AtomOS 9.2 for Sumo19 provides new and existing Sumo users with intuitive and hugely powerful multi-cam functionality for HD workflows.
Sumo19 has offered quad-HD recording and live switching for some time, but video signals were required to be genlocked; this latest firmware provides asynchronous multi-cam support that negates the need for genlock and therefore simplifying setups and enabling all users to benefit from Sumo19’s multi-cam HD capabilities. Here are the key features that AtomOS 9.2 brings:
• Up to five HD* video streams can be recorded simultaneously - four (4) separate ISOs and the Program Out can be recorded to the same SSD in Apple ProRes or Avid DNx formats.
• No need to synchronise the cameras or video feeds using genlock.
• The channels can be switched in real-time at the touch of the screen and the resulting switched output recorded to the separate fifth channel as well as output on either HDMI or HD-SDI.
• Each switch also signals a metadata cut/edit point that the Sumo 19 writes to the SSD as an XML file. The ISOs can subsequently be brought directly into your NLE’s timeline** with the edits already in place, all ready for fine tuning or re-editing.
• Sumo19 can be configured to respond differently to single and double taps, giving the choice between a hard cut or channel preview ahead of a cut/dissolve being written into the XML file.
*Support for HD signals up to 1080p60.
**XML directly compatible with FCPX.
Sumo is a great production monitor for DPs, directors, drone operators and DITs in film sets, live productions and broadcast TV that combines ProRes and ProRes RAW recording with instant playback, rugged construction, multiple power options and touchscreen control. The new feature upgrade will make it an even more useful addition to any multi-camera production.
The first production monitor that also records 4K 12bit Raw, 10bit ProRes/DNxHR, plus 1080p60 live switching and recording.
For the first time your on-set production monitors can be HDR capable and have recording capacity. Now every monitor is not only for high quality shot preview, it can record dailies, proxies or 4Kp60 masters and has playback controls away from the camera team on a high quality, calibrated 19in 1200nit 10-bit HDR screen.
Take Sumo into the studio to use as a HDR grading monitor. Simply connect with your grading software to take Log, PQ or HLG signals from your Mac/PC and instantly see colour accurate HDR in 10-bit quality with 10 stops of dynamic range.
DIT Cart
Get HDR on set in realtime with on the fly Log to HDR and PQ/HLG playback complete with mission critical scopes such as waveform, focus peaking, false colour and vectorscope on the calibrated screen. Beyond monitoring, with up to 4Kp60 and 2Kp240 recording you can generate instant dailies and proxies direct to affordable and available SSD media.
Focus Puller
The combined monitor-recorder in the larger 19" size gives focus pullers instant on set access to footage with focus peaking, 2:1/1:1 zoom and the ability to tag footage as XML files. The high bright 1200nit monitor, sturdy built-in armor aluminium alloy design and variety of mounting options makes it a go-anywhere, do-it-all monitor-recorder for focus pullers.
Client/Director Monitor
Clients and directors can see the amazing true-to-life nature of HDR in realtime away from the camera crew with precision mapping of Log from every camera maker and playback of PQ/HLG signals.
Full playback controls and XML tagging means that they can also review footage and even create an instant client lightweight ProResLT copy with baked in LUTs and audio onto affordable SSD media. You can also choose to view both Log and standard gamma images with or without LUTs applied. Toggle between different looks with ease in seconds.
Studio Monitor
In the studio the 19" Sumo becomes an affordable yet incredibly powerful HDR monitor. With 10 stops dynamic range, 10-bit processing and X-Rite calibration it will accept Log, PQ or HLG signals from your grading software and display HDR in all its glory.
