This is mandatory on all serious shoots (to me, anyway).īTW, I believe it's a rule to use your real names on this forum. This way, when you unsqueeze, you can visually verify that a circle is still a circle and the frame edges are exactly on the aspect ratio you're trying to shoot. This provides extended recorded times for long form productions or recording events.Marc Wielage wrote: Use the Arri Chart utility to make a framing aspect ratio chart for the format in which you're shooting and capture a few seconds of it as a reference: SSD media also provides more GB per $ than camera media cards.

With Shogun CONNECT the only limitation to how much you can record is the size of the SSD. A core principle of ATOMOS devices is to provide much more flexibility in terms of recording codec, resolution, and frame rate than is normally available with internal recording. There is an optional SSDmini adaptor that allows CFAST II cards to be used, enabling you to recycle older media cards or align with your camera media. Alongside SSDmini we also qualify a range of 2.5-inch SSDs that can be used in conjunction with the MasterCaddy III adaptor in the Shogun CONNECT box.

Measuring 8cm long, 7.5cm wide and weighing as little as 88g, the custom-built drive neatly fits into the Shogun CONNECT without impacting the overall footprint of the device. The AtomX SSDmini drives are able to record up to 150 minutes of 4K ProRes. They support up to 4TB storage, sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 500MB/s. AtomX SSDmini drives are more compact than standard SATA SSDs and offer an affordable alternative to an SD card of similar capacity or performance. Shogun CONNECT supports removable SSD drives, which provide the space and sustained performance to meet these needs. The ability to record up to 8K using advanced edit-ready formats including ProRes RAW, ProRes, and DNxHD/HR requires fast, robust, and expansive storage. SDI RAW provides the ultimate experience in terms of flexibility and quality, which makes Shogun CONNECT the ideal choice for big budget filmmakers around the world. The robustness and utility of SDI is critical for the productions that rely on it. Shogun CONNECT also includes 12G-SDI input, the standard on high-end cinema cameras, including the Sony FX series, Panasonic EVA1, and Canon EOS C series. Shogun CONNECT is designed to maximize the quality of your videos and allow you to extend every aspect of your creative vision. Additionally, if you’re shooting Log footage, the ability to bypass internal compression will offer the best possible dynamic range. Shogun CONNECT can record more color information and immediately add value to your production with your existing camera rig.

If the camera is able to output video via HDMI, the quality can often be preserved in a 4:2:2 8-bit or 10-bit format. To save space and support longer recordings, many cameras record compressed 4:2:0 8-bit video internally.
