The Atomos Shogun Studio 4K Monitor / Recorder combines two color-calibrated 1920 x 1200 resolution displays with 4K video recording and edit-ready codecs in a 3 RU chassis with removable rackmount ears. This configuration is well-suited for live event, studio, and on-set DIT work. The Shogun Studio utilizes 4K HDMI and 6G-SDI inputs to record clean output signals at resolutions up to UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, and 30p, as well as Full HD (1920 x 1080) video up to 120 fps when used with capable cameras. The Shogun records 10-bit, 4:2:2 UHD 4K and HD video to Apple ProRes HQ, 422, or LT formats. It can also record HD video using Avid's DNxHD format and UHD 4K video using Avid's DNxHR. Video is recorded to single or raided 2.5" HDD and SSDs for fast and reliable write speeds.
As a monitor, the Shogun features a 7" IPS capacitive touchscreen display with resolution of 1920 x 1200. It is Rec. 709 color calibrated and supports multi-frequency operation (48/50/60 Hz) for monitoring of a variety of input frame rates. An SDI loop output is available for passing the signal to an additional monitor. As an added convenience, 4K signals can be internally down-converted and output in 1080p at the same frame rate.
The Shogun Studio supports Tally function, custom 3D LUTs, and Genlock In for multi-camera syncing. There are also a variety of onscreen tools to help you set up your shots, including a full waveform monitor, RGB parade display, vectorscope, focus peaking, framing, focus, and exposure-assisting tools. With two slots, one for each monitor for a master recording caddy, you can simultaneously record the signal being fed to each monitor.

The 4K-capable HDMI input makes the Shogun particularly useful for recording 4K output signals from cameras such as the Sony a7S and Panasonic GH4.
- 1080p up to 120 fps

- 7" IPS Touchscreen Monitor with Rec. 709 Color Calibration
- Each of the monitors incorporate a 7" IPS screen features a 1920 x 1200 resolution and provides a wide viewing angle of 178° for easier off-axis monitoring. Each screen is calibrated to SMPTE Rec. 709 with 100% gamut and D65 white point, letting you monitor your colors with confidence. A standard Canon C-Log calibration is also available for use with Canon EOS Cinema cameras so you won't have to look at flat, washed-out looking images on set. On-the-fly recalibration is available with the Atomos Spyder calibration tool, sold separately.

- Monitoring Tools
- The Shogun offers a comprehensive set of tools to help you set up, focus, and properly exposure your shots. These tools include a full waveform monitor, RGB parade display, luma overlay, vectorscope with zoom, and a test pattern generator for signal calibration. The monitor also provides focus peaking with multiple levels and colors, false color in two modes, and fully adjustable zebra from 0 to 100%.

- 4K to HD Down-Conversion
