Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Sony FX9 Firmware Update news, Atomos announced that its Shogun 7 recorder will be compatible with the camera’s RAW output. The Atomos Shogun 7 will be able to record Apple ProRes RAW images at up to DCI 4Kp60, or in 2K up to DCI 2Kp180 continuous from the FX9 and XDCA-FX9 Extension Unit through SDI. Atomos Shogun 7 with Sony FX9 will record ProRew RAW. Source: Atomos Atomos is most likely the largest propagator of Apple’s ProRes RAW codec (next to Apple itself). They have been pushing the boundaries with HDMI ProRes RAW recording lately with the Panasonic S1H and Nikon Z 6/Z 7 mirrorless cameras and its compact Ninja V recorder. With SDI connection, ProRes RAW recording is nothing new. Atomos Shogun Inferno has been able to do it with a variety of cameras for years – with some cameras even in resolutions way above 4K. Yes, I am talking about the Panasonic EVA1, as an example, where ProRes RAW has been available to record up to 5.7K 30fps with the Shogun Inferno since June 2018. Sony, of course, currently offers RAW output over SDI with its other cameras, like the FS7 and FS7 II (with the XDCA-FS7 expansion pack) and with the FS5 (with the optional paid CBKZ-FS5RIF license) and FS5 II. The Shogun 7 is able to record ProRes RAW from all these cameras. Atomos Shogun 7 with Sony FX9 – ProRes RAW Capture Shogun 7 is Atomos’ latest 7-inch HDR...
