Atomos Shogun 7 is a precision HDR monitor-recorder-switcher designed for the film and video professional.
 
It can be used as either a stand-alone field monitor, recorder and switcher for event, documentary and live in-the-field storytelling; or as a tool for large-scale on-set episodic TV, film and cinema productions where multiple crew members such as focus pullers, grips and cinematographers require a consistent visual reference across the field monitor ecosystem.
 
Shogun 7’s portable size lets you monitor, analyse and tag while on set; and check how your content will look in your audience’s home via real-time DolbyVision output. With Shogun 7 you’re not locked into any format, camera manufacturer or pipeline. It is a completely flexible master recording and production station.
 
Ultrabright Screen
The Shogun Classic’s 7.2″ 1920 x 1200 display delivers a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 3000 cd/m² brightness for clear HDR or SDR monitoring in any setting. Recently captured footage can be played back instantly on the same display, making on-set review quick and accurate.
 
Multi-camera Switching
With four SDI inputs, the Shogun Classic becomes a compact multi-camera switcher and recorder. It can record a fifth program channel of your live-switched output and send the mixed feed out via HDMI or SDI for broadcast or streaming. Asynchronous switching removes the need for locked sources, letting you use cost-effective cameras without extra gear.
 
HDR I/O and Color Management
Output HDR content in real time over HDMI to any compatible HDR display. The Shogun Classic lets you view SDR or HDR at 10-bit quality as it is captured, ensuring accurate monitoring across a range of workflows. When paired with high-end cameras like ARRI, RED, or Sony VENICE, you gain precise HDR monitoring and the full suite of exposure and focus tools.
 
Recording
Connect a DSLR or mirrorless camera through HDMI to record in up to 4K60 Apple ProRes or AVID DNx formats, ensuring edit-ready files with professional quality. The Shogun Classic can also record up to four 1080p60 streams simultaneously as independent ISOs while you switch between them in real time using the touchscreen.
 
Additional Features
The unit includes LTC input via BNC, 2-pin XLR audio input and output for two channels, dual L-series battery plates, a 1/4″-20 mounting thread, cooling via fan and heat sink, and a 2.5mm LANC port for remote start/stop. A 3.5mm headphone output is available for audio monitoring. It comes with a Master Caddy II and also supports SSDmini drives for flexible media options.
