Of course, Ninja V HDMI screen also continues to provide support for RAW from HDMI from Atomos’ ever-growing list of mirrorless cameras, including Sony Alpha 7S III, Z CAM E-2 Series, Nikon Z-Series, Lumix S Series, Olympus OM -D EM-1X, Olympus OM-D M1 MkIII and more. Flexibility to suit every application in playback mode, Ninja V video monitor provides lossless signal distribution with 2 x 12G-SDI and 1 x HDMI 2.0 for simultaneous outputs up to 4K 60fps.

To complement the inputs, HDMI or SDI connections can be cross-converted, DCI cropped, and 4K to HD converts for video signals to provide a bridge between equipment such as EVF, wireless TX/RX without the need for additional converters. The Atomos Ninja V Pro Kit includes three ways to power the Ninja V HDMI display: In the studio, you can use the included DC power supply with a lockable jack and international power sockets. Onset via the included DTAP cable for connecting to the battery of your choice with a D-Tap output, meaning the camera can operate from a single power source. On the go with a compact rig, you also have the option to run the Ninja directly from an optional NPF battery or any 4-cell NPF.
