Atomos Ships Samurai Blade

atomos-CameraPhoto-0713Atomos is already shipping the Samurai Blade, a 1280×720 touchscreen that allows for internal recording of 10-bit images shot with HDMI-output cameras — straight from the camera sensor directly to HDD or SSD drives, captured using Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD codecs. Using an Atomos branded SuperAtom IPS touchscreen, at 325-ppi, 179-degree viewing, 400-nit brightness and multi-frequency (48/50/60Hz), the Blade is calibrated to SMPTE Rec 709 color space and a D65 white point with 100 percent gamut from factory.

The Samurai Blade adds essential set up tools with full waveform monitor functions, including vectorscope, RGB and LUMA parades with transparent overlay and bottom right, lower third or full screen positioning, making it an extremely flexible tool. Waveform, vectorscope and monitor assist tools such as tri-level focus peaking, zebra, false colour and blue-only offer a very comprehensive test and shot setup tool kit. The Samurai Blade has standard BNC connectors.

Here are all the details.
