Ninja ProRes workflow + recording


Atomos Ninja - compression, workflow and benefits from UrbanFox.TV

Following our previous, brief introductory video about the new Atomos Ninja HDMI ProRes recorder, we did a much longer interview with Atomos CEO, Jeromy Young at MacVideo Expo. He explains how the compression works (with a good demonstration of how ProRes compares with more highly compressed codecs), the workflow, and the benefits of the Ninja - it would often be better to use it (or another external HDMI recorder) as the only recorder on some DSLRs as they output a lower resolution signal via HDMI while they record in camera.

    The initial version (which should start shipping next week) seems to be 50/60i or 24/25p in 1080 or 50/60p for 720 only. Atomos will be at BVE 2011 in London next week, so I'll try to ask them. Sorry for not answering your query earlier, we've been away.
