Atomos has announced that the free firmware update for the Atomos Ninja V monitor/recorder that enables Apple ProRes RAW recording over HDMI is now available. With this update, you can capture 12-bit ProRes RAW from the camera’s full-frame sensor at up to 4K60p. Let’s take a closer look at it! Sony a7S III Gets ProRes RAW Recording Option A couple of months ago, along with the launch of the Sony a7S III – you can watch our review here – Atomos announced that they will support Apple ProRes RAW recording over HDMI output.
