The Shogun Studio 2 records either two channels of 4Kp60, or up to eight HDp60 sources in industry standard Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW and AVID DNx codecs. Free your workflow from the constraints of highly compressed GOP based codecs and their associated artifacts. Replace them with clean images captured direct from the sensors of your camera channels using modern Intra-frame codecs.
Both ProRes and DNx are robust, easy to edit, colour accurate production codecs used throughout the industry. You can even take this one step further and record ProRes RAW from a wide range of cinema cameras for maximum fidelity.

Playback and play out up to 4Kp60 video, or 2K/HD high frame rate footage slowed down in the unit itself. Playlists can be created from clips either recorded on an Atomos recorder, or from your edit system in a supported codec, resolution and framerate.
Groups of clips can be played in either a run down or reverse order without the need for an additional playout server. Mark in and out points to create sub clips in metadata that can be brought into your NLE for rapid editing. Loop the playlist, or for single files you can mark in and out points for repeated play back.

Shogun Studio 2 has a host of tools for image analysis:
Creators are granted complete creative control of their video images in post-production as ProRes RAW combines the flexibility of RAW video with the real-time performance of ProRes. The format gives filmmakers incredible latitude when adjusting the look of their images and extending brightness and shadow detail – making ProRes RAW ideal for HDR workflows.
In addition to their groundbreaking combination of flexibility and performance, Apple ProRes RAW files are smaller than other RAW files – simplifying and accelerating file transfer, media management, and archiving. ProRes RAW files can easily be edited on most modern Apple Mac systems. ProRes RAW is fully supported in Final Cut Pro X along with a collection of other apps including ASSIMILATE SCRATCH, Colorfront, FilmLight Baselight, and Grass Valley Edius. Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer are also set to support ProRes RAW in 2020.
In addition to the core recording and monitoring functions the Shogun Studio 2 packs a raft of additional features that make it incredibly versatile toolbox.

Shogun Studio 2 manages your colour in every way. It supports Log inputs from major camera vendors, converting it to Rec.709 and providing users the option to load their own 3D LUTs for immediate preview and transform.
Up to eight .cube LUTs can be loaded per recorder channel. The built-in AtomHDR engine also provides support for Rec.2100 standards with options to monitor in HDR for LOG, HLG and PQ and perform different output transfers. HDR can be output downstream using an EOTF transform for HLG, ST.2084 PQ in Rec.2020 or DCI-P3. Realtime Dolby Vision output tunnelling allows for inputs to be dynamically output to supported HDR consumer TVs for viewing.
Atomos improve the speed of your end-to-end workflow, allowing for fast turn around and ingest into Media Asset Management systems. Make edit decisions on the fly by touching the screen and selecting from one of 10 tags. You can start to favorite or reject clips while you record, then review, cut and tag in playback mode.
Assemble clips to create a linear playlist of your favorite clips and instantly push these out to live screens, directors’ viewing monitors, galleries and more. Marked in and out points are carried right through to your edit with the export of edit decisions lists in XML that can be imported with the footage into Apple FCP X, or convert the XML for use in other NLEs. User definable scene, Shot and Take naming criteria allow for storage management systems to identify clips and begin orchestrating projects, or even create pre-populated bins.
