| New Accessories for Atomos Ninja and Samurai Atomos, manufacturer of the Ninja and Samurai external Apple ProRes recorders, announce a range of accessories for their 10-bit portable Recording, Monitoring and Playback devices. Atomos Ninja and Saumurai Sun Visor One of the most requested features from the army of Ninja users is a sun visor to allow the Ninja and Samurai video monitor screens to be used outdoors in strong daylight and sunlight. The Ninja's screen has been praised for its clarity and colour accuracy and users have confirmed that it is more than capable of being used as an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). The new Atomos Sun Visor, which fits both the Ninja and the upcoming Samurai, allows the screen to be seen clearly in all lighting conditions, retaining the full contrast, saturation and clarity of the on-screen image. The visor has been shaped to retain full effectiveness while continuing to allow users to access all touchscreen features as usual. Atomos Ninja and Samurai EVF Loupe The Atomos EVF Loupe takes the idea of using a Ninja or Samurai screen as an EVF a stage further, with an optical system that attaches to the screen and provides an apparent full-size image for assessing focus, depth of field and composition. The Loupe hinges upwards to allow easy access to touchscreen operation. Atomos Ninja and Samurai Cable Management System Ninja users have reported success in using HDMI connections to to their cameras, due mainly to the HDMI socket on the Ninja and the amount of grip it provides. To allow for additional safety, the Atomos Cable Management System cleverly attaches to the front of the Ninja and extends sideways to provide a latching system that holds cables in place. The device is interoperable with the Atomos EVF Loupe and the Sun Visor. The accessories will be available Summer 2011. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Computing News :: home page |
