Atomos Ninja-2 – User Manual Edition 3: May 2013 2
Thank you for choosing the Atomos Ninja-2: your 10-bit HDMI
Recorder/Monitor/Player. It’s the most compact portable recorder
available, with extremely long battery life, a high-resolution screen,
uncompressed-quality playout and real-time pulldown removal.
Ninja-2 preserves the pristine uncompressed video quality from your
camera’s sensor by directly encoding it into Apple ProRes
® or (optionally)
Avid DNxHD ® as it records to HDD/SSD, making it instantly compatible
with your NLE timeline. The Ninja-2’s revolutionary ‘Sensor-to-NLE’
workflow is the fastest and best quality available today!
With the plummeting price of hard disk storage, the 2½” disks used by
the Ninja-2 are very cheap; the cost of storage is no longer an issue.
Buying a disk for the Ninja-2 is just like buying a tape – except that with a
disk you will have instant “non-linear” access to your video.
The Ninja-2’s one-touch TFT-LCD interface is intuitive and simple to use.
There are no complicated menus or difficult to find functions – everything
you need is instantly accessible from the home screen. Refer to ‘Using
your Ninja-2’ for more information.
