Earlier this year, Atomos introduced the AtomX CAST to work in conjunction with Atomos Ninja V and Ninja V + monitors and recorders. The device turns your monitor/recorder into a four-HDMI video switcher so you can stream live. To work, you will need to insert the Ninja V / V + into the CAST module, connect the AtomX port, and secure the monitor-recorder to the module with a screw. The new broadcast product is ready.
