Atomos Ninja Star – User Manual Edition 1: October 2014 8
Turning ON power to the Ninja Star
To power up the unit, press the Record button located on the front left
hand side. The power LED should light up green immediately. The
indicator LEDs will turn on moments later when the device starts up.
Turning OFF power to the Ninja Star
To turn the unit off press the red Rec button for 4 seconds. The unit will
then power off.
Four seconds can seem like a long time! We’ve made it this way
to make absolutely certain that the Ninja Star can’t be turned off
accidentally.

HDMI in: The video input to the Ninja Star is micro HDMI. This is the
connection that is used to record to the Ninja Star’s storage media.
HDMI out: This is for connection to an external monitor or other device with
an HDMI input. It carries a delay-free loop-through of the incoming signal
in record and standby mode, and the playout signal when the Ninja Star is
in playout mode.
Audio: The Ninja Star can record 2 (left and right) channels of digital audio
embedded in the HDMI signal. There is a 3.5mm Stereo Line-in socket for
recording an additional 2 audio in sync with incoming video. Depending
on your set-up, you may find that this gives you better results than the
microphone on the camera.
Some cameras have a delay on their video output so the analogue
audio channels will not be in sync. This can be easily fixed in post
using your NLE.
We now make Atomos Pro Video HDMI Cables. You can find out more
by visiting http://www.atomos.com/hdmi-cables/
IMPORTANT: The audio input is designed for line level sources.
Do not exceed the 2V pk-pk or your audio will be distorted.
