Feature Packed and Highly Versatile

The versatile nature of Ninja V means it can be paired with nearly any camera, on any type or size of production. The professional monitoring tools make framing, exposure, and focusing a breeze. With Ninja V you can work confidently to perfect every shot.

Ninja V provides additional flexibility by offering a choice of industry-standard recording formats. This means you can choose the frame size, frame rate, and codec that best suits the needs of your workflow and delivery requirements. Ninja V also allows you to record HDMI RAW inputs up to 6K at 30fps, whilst simultaneously looping out standard YCC video via HDMI to non-RAW compatible devices.

Responsive Touchscreen

Ninja V features a highly responsive, 5.2-inch, SuperAtom IPS touchscreen. This guarantees each feature is clearly visible, all the features are easily accessible, and every operation is smooth. The screen is bright (1000nit), which means it’s suited for outdoor use, even in direct sunlight. The display settings allow for a number of adjustments to make certain your Ninja V functions equally well in darker environments.

Compact Design

Ninja V has been designed so that it can be paired equally well with smaller cameras as part of a minimal setup and with full-size camera rigs on large-scale cinema productions. The aluminum chassis and polycarbonate backplate have been crafted for maximum durability. The device weighs just 360g (0.79lbs), which means it can be used comfortably with a handheld camera. The device includes anti-rotational 3/8-16 mount points on the top and bottom. It ships with a 1/4-20 adapter, so that Ninja V can easily be adapted and mounted on industry-standard equipment from a wide range of manufacturers.

Complete Monitoring Toolbox

Ninja V includes a comprehensive range of monitoring tools including a waveform, focus peaking, false color, zoom controls, custom LUTs, and frame guides. Each offers an opportunity to perfect the composition and exposure for every shot and can be overlaid in any combination, unlike many other monitors that allow only one monitoring tool at a time. AtomOS software is easy to use and provides a platform for Atomos to easily update Ninja V, introduce new features, and add support for new cameras on release.

Incredible Creative Effects

Achieve cinematic effects, creative transitions, and save time in post-production with the Get Creative update for your Ninja V. The onion skin overlay makes shooting stop-motion and creating jump or match cuts extremely simple. The ability to capture frame grabs live on-set reduces time creating thumbnails and gives you a quick reference to share with the team. The update is available to download for free from my.atomos.com.

Wireless Remote Control

The AtomRemote app for iOS and macOS offers an array of external controls for ATOMOS CONNECT for Ninja V. The app enables you to perform a range of configuration tasks and operations up to 15 meters away from the device via Bluetooth LE. Input options include the ability to define camera connections, select Gamma/EOTF, and adjust Gamut settings. For monitoring, AtomRemote can be used to control playback, choose monitoring modes, apply custom 3D LUTs, or view image analysis tools including exposure and focus. Output controls include options for 4K to HD, LUT preview, and HDR output.

Wireless Timecode

Atomos AirGlu™ adds wireless timecode, sync, and control technology to ATOMOS CONNECT for Ninja V. AirGlu locks multiple Atomos devices or compatible cameras, audio recorders, and software applications together so that they share the same frame-accurate timecode. It is also able to relay recording, battery status, and disk capacity information to the server unit. Any AirGlu device can act as the server unit, which means you’ll no longer need a huge budget or get involved in time consuming post-production workflows to produce perfectly synchronized, multi-camera video.

Expansion Options

The built-in AtomX expansion port supports a range of Atomos accessories that can completely transform your Ninja V by introducing new features and new workflows.

Supported Resolutions & Frame Rates

To save space and support longer recordings, many cameras record compressed 4:2:0 8-bit video internally. If the camera is able to output video via HDMI, the quality can often be preserved in a 4:2:2 8-bit or 10-bit format. Ninja V can record more color information and immediately add value to your production with your existing camera rig. Additionally, if you’re shooting Log footage, the ability to bypass internal compression will offer the best possible dynamic range. Ninja V is designed to maximize the quality of your videos and allow you to extend every aspect of your creative vision.

Professional Codec Support

With flexible options for industry standard video and RAW formats, Ninja V can either record visually lossless acquisition codecs that are ready for editing or smaller-sized delivery codecs that look great and are quick to upload. Ninja V is designed to be versatile and meet the requirements of your workflow. Atomos understands the value of being able to select the format, quality, resolution, frame rate, or file size that best suits the needs of your production.

LUTs and Supported Log Formats

To save space and support longer recordings, many cameras record compressed 4:2:0 8-bit video internally. If the camera is able to output video via HDMI, the quality can often be preserved in a 4:2:2 8-bit or 10-bit format. Ninja V can record more color information and immediately add value to your production with your existing camera rig. Additionally, if you’re shooting Log footage, the ability to bypass internal compression will offer the best possible dynamic range. Ninja V is designed to maximize the quality of your videos and allow you to extend every aspect of your creative vision.

Record without Limitation

The ability to record up to 6K using advanced edit-ready formats including ProRes RAW, ProRes, and DNxHD/HR requires fast, robust, and expansive storage. Ninja V supports removable SSD drives which provide the space and sustained performance to meet these needs. AtomX SSDmini drives are more compact than standard SATA SSDs and offer an affordable alternative to an SD card of similar capacity or performance. They support up to 4TB storage, sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 500MB/s. The AtomX SSDmini drives are able to record up to 150 minutes of 4K ProRes. Measuring 8cm long, 7.5cm wide and weighing as little as 88g, the custom-built drive neatly fits into the Ninja V without impacting the overall footprint of the device.

There is an optional SSDmini adaptor that allows CFAST II cards to be used, enabling you to recycle older media cards or align with your camera media. Alongside SSDmini we also qualify a range of 2.5-inch SSDs that can be used in conjunction with the MasterCaddy III which are required when using the ATOMOS CONNECT.

With Ninja V the only limitation to how much you can record is the size of the SSD. A core principle of Atomos devices is to provide much more flexibility in terms of recording codec, resolution, and frame rate than is normally available with internal recording. SSD media also provides more GB per $ than camera media cards. This not only provides extended recorded times for long form productions or recording events, but gives you the added security of always having a back-up to your camera recording.
