Atomos Shinobi 7 RX HDR Monitor

Atomos Shinobi 7 RX HDR Monitor Summary

The Atomos Shinobi 7 RX HDR Monitor builds on the success of the Shinobi II, adding several important updates for filmmakers and production crews. The video monitor features a bright 7-inch HDR display with 2200 nits of calibrated peak brightness, which ensures visibility even in bright direct sunlight. It provides all of the monitoring tools which are frequently needed for work on set, while being lightweight enough to use as a director’s or focus puller’s monitor.

New for this RX model are camera control functions and wireless monitoring, both of which extend its value to live production environments. Compatible cameras from Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony, and Z CAM can be connected via USB-C or with a serial cable to enable aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance adjustment directly from the 7-inch screen.

Crews who need to move around the set or on-location can use built-in Wi-Fi, which provides low-latency wireless monitoring when paired with an Atomos TX transmitter or external RTSP H.264 streams, where it boasts a range of up to 300m and under 60ms latency.

The Shinobi 7 RX also includes Atomos’ full suite of very popular monitoring tools, including waveform, histogram, zebra, false colour, focus peaking, zoom, and custom LUT support for accurate previews. There are dual NP-F battery slots on the rear too, which significantly extends operating time, while dual HDMI and 3G-SDI connectivity ensure broad compatibility with a variety of cameras and switchers.
