Atomos Samurai Blade Cinema Monitor Recorder

Description

This monitor-recorder combines a bright, daylight-viewable screen with SSD-based recording, letting cameras without adequate internal recording capture ProRes or DNxHD directly via HDMI or SDI. Its rugged, on-camera-ready housing suits gimbal and handheld work as well as tripod-mounted setups. It supports standard monitoring tools such as waveform, false color and focus peaking for on-set exposure and focus checks. Its SDI input broadens compatibility beyond HDMI-only cameras to include broadcast and cinema camera sources. It suits documentary and narrative productions that need reliable external recording alongside accurate monitoring.
