Atomos announces AtomX CAST is now shipping

05 October, 2021

AUS: Atomos has announced that the AtomX  CAST is now available. The AtomX CAST is a modular companion for the Atomos Ninja V monitor-recorder that uses the  AtomX  expansion port  on the Ninja  V  to transform  it  into an advanced multi-input  switcher. Small enough to hold in the palm of your hand,  AtomX  CAST is the go-anywhere answer to the needs of a small crew or one-man multi-camera productions.

With this announcement, users can now also benefit from the Ninja CAST bundle, a combination of the Ninja V  and  AtomX  CAST, an  all-in-one  live switching and streaming solution - that combines the Ninja V’s  high quality 5” touchscreen monitor with  4x HDMI inputs  and  physical buttons. This allows you to connect cameras, computers, consoles,  pre-recorded  content  sources  or any valid video source with a resolution of 1920x1080 and  use the touchscreen or the buttons to  ‘switch’ between sources and  select which source should be on screen at any one time  for  broadcast.

Ninja  CAST offers a fully functional stand-alone switcher, multi-view monitor and broadcast quality recorder that does not require a computer to function.  Having an integrated monitor allows you to see the incoming signals  as well as indicators for program and preview out, without having to connect an additional monitor.

Solo operators can use the  Ninja  CAST easily and discretely with compact mirrorless cameras for productions of any size.  Production crews can expand the system with larger  multiview  displays or preview outputs for talent. A flexible solution to suit your workflow needs.

The  AtomX  CAST is available as a separate module for existing Ninja V users priced at  $399 USD.  The Ninja CAST bundle, a combination of the Ninja V and  AtomX  CAST will be available as an off the shelf solution for users without a Ninja V,  priced at  $949  USD.

Existing Ninja V users can now download AtomOS 10.7.1 here to enable support for the AtomX CAST.

AtomX CAST functionality for the Ninja V+ will be available at a later date, stay tuned for more details.
