In this video, Newsshooter's Matt Allard gets all the details on Apple's new ProRes RAW codec from Atomos founder and CEO Jeromy Young. Apple's ProRes RAW is an exciting new compressed RAW codec, which was just debuted exclusively through Atomos' Shogun Inferno and Sumo monitor/recorders.

The SUMO19 (Monitor/Recorder), and SUMO19M (Monitor), represent a new form factor in the growing line of recording and monitoring solutions from ATOMOS. With the need for more accurate monitoring and recording solutions for today's digital cinema cameras (that are capable of capturing and outputting HDR imagery), the SUMO19 and SUMO19M help content producers more accurately work with their camera systems.

I had a chance to chat with Pamela Berry from Atomos about new firmware for their Shogun Inferno monitor/recorder as well as an exciting new product. Atomos recently released a free firmware update for their popular Shogun Inferno enabling all supported RAW formats to be saved in CinemaDNG format, preserving the RAW context of the files all the way through post, if required.

You may remember our previous blog post about the release of the Titan HD Extract option for Convergent Design's Apollo and Odyssey monitor/recorders. Titan allows multiple HD-resolution windows to be captured as distinctly framed shots from a single camera shooting in UHD 4K (3840x2160).

This week Panasonic released firmware Version 7.0 for the VariCam 35 and HS, and Version 5.0 for the VariCam LT. These updates feature expanded ProRes recording, including higher bit rate Apple ProRes codecs and VFR to allow for more internal recording options to support your production's needs.

The Panasonic VariCam LT offers a legendary look in a compact digital cinema camera. Combining the VariCam LT with the Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q+ recorder opens up the ability to capture Raw files.

Sony recently announced the AXS-R7 recorder for their F5 and F55 cameras. The new AXS-R7 is a robust dual-slot RAW recorder that enables recording up to 120 fps in 4K on the F55.

Convergent Design has announced an exciting new upgrade option for their popular Odyssey and Apollo line of monitor/recorders. It allows a single camera shooting in UHD 3840x2160 to create the effect of shooting with multiple cameras. It does this by extracting HD resolution windows from the "master" 4K image. In addition to monitoring and recording the full image (supersampled down to HD resolution), the additional "angles" can be also be recorded.

The Panasonic VariCam 35 has been called the "workflow camera," as it offers multiple internal recording formats that can really speed up your workflow. The camera can capture a 4K or HD V-Log master, while at the same time recording both HD and proxy for instant dailies. The VariCam LT has the same function, but with just a 4K or HD master and a proxy recording.
