Atomos AtomOS 3.0 now available

Atomos Samurai users can now update their recorders to AtomOS 3.0.

"It adds great new functionality and is the direct result of feedback from our growing customer base" said Jeromy Young, Atomos CEO.

Features include:
- SmartMonitor, which adds various monitoring functions, including Peaking (for easier focusing), Zebra stripes (for exposure), False Color and Blue Only;
- SmartLog, which allows pre-editing and keyword tagging on location, including XML support for Final Cut X;
- SmartControl, which allows start/stop/pause to be triggered on any number of Samurais, interconnected via their LANC port, from any computer.
- automatic file recovery in the event of power failure;
- auto-record when an input is detected;
- Loop Playback;
- iPhone/iPad/Mac/PC recording support, which will allow software companies or reviewers to record how an app or game works.

AtomOS 3.0 is a free firmware update for existing Samurai users, and will also run on the new Ninja 2 when it ships.
