    Atomos Sumo 19

    The new Atomos Sumo 19″ production monitor/recorder is a departure for a company better known for their on-camera sized monitor/records such as the Ninja Flame or Shogun Inferno.

    Atomos Sumo

    As the name suggests, the Sumo 19 is big, weighing in a a hefty 12.3 lbs (13.7 with a stand) and features an aluminium alloy chassis with built in armor protection.

    Designed for on-set or in-studio applications, the Sumo 19 offers 12-bit Raw, 10-bit ProRes/DNxHR up to 4Kp60 recording and will capture RAW output* from a variety of cameras including:

    • Sony FS5/FS7/FS700
    • Canon C300MKII/C500
    • Panasonic Varicam LT

    *Over SDI up to 12-bit 4Kp30 as CDNG or 10-bit Apple ProRes / Avid DNxHR up to 4Kp60 / 2Kp240 depending on the camera’s capability.

    Quad SDI & HDMI 2.0 In/Out

    The Sumo seamlessly connects to any SDI or HDMI device and converts between HDMI 2.0 and SDI (3G QuadLink/6G/12G) in any combination.

    The Quad SDI inputs will connect cameras with multiple 1.5 or 3G SDI outputs without the need for converters and the HDMI 2.0 connections will support up to 4Kp60 input/output.

    The Sumo will also support Genlock and LTC timecode.

    Managing multiple camera setups is easy thanks to the Sumo’s ability to live switch between four separate 1080/60p channels and record 4 x ISO channels.

    It also eliminates the need for a separate audio recorder by using full sized XLR connections allowing for external microphones to be connected to and powered from the monitor itself.

    Touchscreen Display

    The Sumo features an extremely bright, 1200nit, 19” 1920×1080 10-bit LCD panel driven by the AtomHDR engine which is capable of resolving up to 10+ stops of HDR in real time.
