Atomos has announced the Shogun AV-19, a rack-mountable 19-inch (48.26 cm) 4K HDR monitor-recorder-switcher aimed at live production and broadcast environments. Housed in a 7RU chassis, it brings multi-camera switching, ISO recording, and a 4K DCI-P3 display together in a single unit intended for control rooms, flypacks, outside broadcast racks, and video village setups.

A 19-inch screen allows a director, technical director, or operator to reference the same image without crowding around a smaller display. In that context, the monitor becomes a shared reference point rather than a personal tool. The 7RU rack-mounted chassis with active cooling places it firmly in broadcast racks or road cases.
