Atomos Ninja RAW: ProRes/ProRes RAW Monitor-Recorder with Camera Control

Meet Atomos Ninja RAW, a compact 5-inch HDR monitor-recorder designed for on-set practicality. Its 1500-nit display delivers bright, detailed viewing in daylight, while a responsive touchscreen makes framing, exposure, and review quick and intuitive.

Camera control is a standout feature, letting you start and stop recording and adjust essential settings such as ISO, shutter, aperture, and white balance without leaving the monitor. This streamlined control can help keep your shooting rhythm steady and reduce back-and-forth with the camera operator.

Capture formats and storage flexibility

Record directly from the camera sensor into high-quality ProRes or ProRes RAW, then save to CFexpress Type B media or external USB-C storage. Choose from the full ProRes family—ProRes RAW, RAW HQ, ProRes LT—and traditional ProRes 422 options, giving you posting options that suit different projects and timelines.

Files produced with Ninja RAW are designed to fit into a wide range of editing pipelines, with strong compatibility across leading NLEs such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer.

• Direct camera-to-storage capture for efficient on-set workflows
• Broad ProRes format support for flexible post paths
• CFexpress Type B or external USB-C storage options for fast media handling

On-device monitoring toolkit

The Ninja RAW goes beyond basic monitoring. It includes EL Zone false color for quick exposure checks, focus peaking to help sharpen critical focus, and waveform monitoring to assess brightness and contrast. An onion skin overlay supports frame-to-frame alignment and visual consistency across takes.

• EL Zone false color and waveform for reliable exposure assessment
• Focus peaking for precise focus pulls
• Onion skin overlay to compare frames and align motion

Professional versatility in the field

Two USB-C ports enable external storage or a network adaptor (sold separately), expanding your setup options. The unit is built to handle real-world production environments and can run on NP-F batteries, USB-C power banks, or a DC adaptor for added flexibility on location.

Whether you’re documenting on the go, conducting quick interview setups, or prepping for a larger production, Ninja RAW combines robust monitoring with reliable capture. Its file formats integrate smoothly with major editing suites, helping you move from capture to cut with confidence.
