Atomos Shogun 7 Classic Monitor-Recorder
The Atomos Shinobi 7 Classic is a 7‑inch HDR monitor‑recorder‑switcher that combines monitoring, recording, and live multicamera switching in one compact tool. Built around a 7.2" 1920×1200 capacitive touchscreen, it handles DCI/UHD 4K 60 fps inputs over both HDMI 2.0 and 12G‑SDI, making it ideal for cinema capture, live events, and broadcast productions. Housed in a rugged glass‑fiber‑reinforced polycarbonate chassis with active cooling, the Shogun 7 Classic delivers dependable performance in any environment.
Its zone‑backlit AtomHDR display pushes up to 3000 cd/m² peak brightness with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, faithfully rendering over 10 stops of dynamic range without external LUTs. Calibrated to cover 105% of DCI‑P3, the screen provides accurate Rec.709 and HDR monitoring, while built‑in support for false color, focus peaking, pixel zoom, and anamorphic de‑squeeze ensures critical exposure and focus are always under control—even in bright daylight.
Transform any shoot into a multicamera production with four independent SDI inputs for quad‑view monitoring and ISO recording. You can switch asynchronously between sources without genlock, record a fifth mixed program feed to Apple ProRes or Avid DNx codecs, and output the live‑switched result over HDMI or SDI for live streaming or projection—no external switchers required.
Recording workflows are seamless: connect any HDMI 4K 60 camera to capture ProRes or DNx up to 4K 60 fps, or record four separate 1080 p60 ISO streams while cueing and switching live. Media is saved to SSDmini/SSDs via Master Caddy II/III, with LTC timecode input, 2‑channel XLR audio I/O, and remote start/stop via LANC for full production integration.
Professional monitoring tools include waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, histogram, zebras, safe areas, frame guides, and custom 3D LUTs—plus vertical flip and interlaced‑to‑progressive conversion. The Shogun Classic also supports Atomos Calibrator for on‑site display profiling, delivering consistent color and exposure across multiple units and shoots.
Power and mounting are built for pro rigs: dual L‑series battery slots or 6.2–16.8 V DC input keep you running all day, and 1/4″‑20 mounts top and bottom allow secure attachment to cages, tripods, or shoulder rigs. Weighing just 738 g and measuring 214 × 127 × 45 mm, the Shogun Classic fits seamlessly into any production workflow—offering HDR‑capable monitoring, recording, and switching wherever you need it.
