r/Atomos

I've enjoyed hundreds of hours of recording 4K60 and sometimes 1080p60 on my Ninja 5" (both ProRes HQ).

Last week I was recording in a somewhat warmer room than usual. The Ninja hit a black screen and froze about 10-15 minutes into the recording. I adjusted the cooling mode to turbo and it seem to have fixed it.

Here I updated to the latest firmware (unknown which I had before).

Yesterday while recording the Ninja stopped recording randomly after 20 minutes, corrupted the file and somehow marked the SSD as full (the record button was greyed out). I fixed the file and could continue to record an hour afterwards without issue.

Has the Ninja's best before date expired? I'm so bummed out I can't trust it now and it's my favorite piece of gear in my kit. 😓

I just ran into this issue today using a Canon R6 III. For some reason it shows No Input when shooting 7k 23.976fps RAW, but it displays 7k 29.97fps+ RAW just fine. I tried two HDMI cables that are capable of 8k 60fps. Both had the same issue. Both the camera and monitor firmware are up to date. I'd prefer to capture interviews in 23.976fps. Is there any workaround for this?

I have an XF100 camera that is reflected on my Ninja Ultra at 1080i59.94 but when I bring it into my editor, the content is 1080i 29.97fps.

My other recorders are pulling the footage at 59.94fps so why is the Ninja having the discrepancy?

Idk why but when i try plugging the hdmi from my atomos shinono 5” into my hp omen laptop, it makes my laptop crash every time. Does anyone have a clue why? Ive never heard of anyone having this issue before and it works fine with cameras.

It's unclear from the website and spec sheet, but can this unit record in full quality while at the same time encoding and streaming to NDI?
