Next-Generation Monitoring and Recording for Modern Filmmakers
The Atomos Ninja RAW 5" Monitor/Recorder is built for creators who demand more from their camera workflow. Designed to expand the capabilities of mirrorless and cinema cameras, this compact 5-inch monitor brings together high-performance recording, advanced exposure tools, and intuitive touchscreen control in one streamlined device. With a bright HDR display and powerful codec support, it gives filmmakers the confidence to monitor, capture, and refine every frame while shooting.
At the heart of the Ninja RAW is a vibrant 1500-nit touchscreen that makes monitoring easy even in bright outdoor environments. The responsive interface runs on Atomos’ refined operating system, giving you quick access to professional tools like waveform monitoring, focus peaking, RGB parade, vectorscope, and EL Zone™ false color. These precision tools help you evaluate exposure, focus, and color with clarity that goes far beyond most built-in camera displays.
Capture Maximum Image Quality
Ninja RAW unlocks powerful recording options directly from your camera’s sensor over HDMI. By recording to Apple ProRes and ProRes RAW, you can bypass internal camera compression and preserve greater color information, dynamic range, and flexibility in post-production. Whether you are capturing interviews, narrative filmmaking, or commercial content, this external recording capability ensures your footage retains the quality professionals expect.
The monitor supports high-speed CFexpress Type B media as well as external USB-C storage, providing the performance required for demanding ProRes RAW workflows. This flexible recording approach allows filmmakers to choose the storage solution that best fits their project, while maintaining reliable, high-bitrate performance.
Streamlined Control Directly from the Touchscreen
Ninja RAW introduces convenient camera control features that allow you to adjust key settings directly from the monitor. Using simple on-screen sliders, operators can manage ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and white balance on supported cameras. This integrated control keeps your hands on the rig and your focus on the shot instead of navigating camera menus.
The touchscreen interface also enables touch-to-focus functionality on compatible cameras, allowing you to tap directly on the display to shift focus to your subject. When combined with camera tracking modes, this creates a fast and intuitive way to maintain sharp focus during dynamic shooting situations.
Built for Flexible Production Environments
Designed with working filmmakers in mind, Ninja RAW offers multiple power and connectivity options that adapt to different production setups. It can run on industry-standard NP-F batteries for mobile shooting, draw power through USB-C Power Delivery from power banks or adapters, or operate with a battery eliminator for continuous studio use.
Three USB-C ports provide expanded connectivity for power, external storage, or networking accessories, ensuring the monitor remains adaptable as production workflows evolve. A rugged locking cable system helps secure HDMI and USB-C connections, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects during handheld or rig-mounted shooting.
Professional Monitoring Tools for Precise Results
Accurate exposure and color monitoring are essential to modern filmmaking, and Ninja RAW delivers a full suite of professional analysis tools. EL Zone™ false color displays exposure values based on stops of light for precise and repeatable results. Additional tools such as zebras, frame guides, grid markers, vectorscope, and waveform analysis help ensure every shot is properly framed and exposed.
The monitor also supports custom LUT loading, allowing creators to preview a Rec.709 look while recording LOG footage for grading later. Combined with HDR monitoring that displays more than ten stops of dynamic range, Ninja RAW helps filmmakers visualize the final image while maintaining the flexibility of a high-quality recording format.
Reliable Recording for Demanding Workflows
Ninja RAW supports a wide range of resolutions and frame rates depending on your camera’s output, including high frame rate recording for slow motion and up to 6K recording for detailed cinematic imagery. Built-in codec support includes ProRes RAW, ProRes RAW HQ, ProRes LT, ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, and H.265, ensuring compatibility with professional editing platforms such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer.
For longer recording sessions, SegmentPro technology automatically divides extended recordings into smaller file segments without dropping frames. This approach makes files easier to manage, safer to store, and faster to transfer within professional editing workflows.
