ATOMOS Ninja RAW Announced

Atomos announced the release of the Ninja RAW, a 5-inch HDR monitor-recorder designed as an affordable tool for filmmakers, content creators, and broadcasters to enable high-quality shooting and precise monitoring on location.

This latest model in the next-generation Ninja series will be exhibited at the Nextorage booth (booth number 22) at CP+2026.

What is the ATOMOS Ninja Raw ?

At the heart of Ninja RAW is an ultra-bright 1500 nit 5-inch HDR touchscreen, providing excellent visibility in both studio and outdoor environments. Designed for professional workflows, Ninja RAW records Apple ProRes and ProRes RAW formats directly from the camera sensor via HDMI to CFexpress Type B media or external USB-C storage, delivering fast and reliable capture, the highest image quality, and post-production flexibility.

“Ninja RAW is our most affordable next-generation monitor-recorder, designed for creators who demand uncompromising image quality, absolute control and complete mobility,” Atomos CEO Peter Barber said.

Ninja RAW supports a wide range of professional codecs including ProRes RAW, ProRes RAW HQ, ProRes LT, ProRes 422 and ProRes 422 HQ, ensuring perfect integration with major NLEs (non-linear editing software) such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer.

Designed as a monitor, recorder and production hub, Ninja RAW allows control of key parameters (recording start/stop, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, white balance, etc.) via USB-C on compatible cameras. Comprehensive built-in monitoring tools, including EL Zone false color display, waveform monitor, focus peaking and vectorscope, allow for confident exposure and focus adjustments on set.

Unique creative tools further increase on-set efficiency, including onion skin overlay for frame-by-frame comparison and precise shot alignment for VFX, animation and continuity-critical work.

Dual USB-C ports expand connectivity and workflow flexibility, support external storage and optional network adapters (sold separately), and a rugged, production-ready design ensures reliability even in harsh real-world environments.

 

Despite its professional performance, the Ninja RAW remains highly portable and can be powered by NP-F batteries, USB-C power banks, or DC adapters, making it ideal for a variety of situations, from studio photography to highly mobile field productions.

Combining cutting-edge ProRes RAW recording, advanced monitoring features, camera control, and a compact, ultra-bright enclosure, the Atomos Ninja RAW sets a new standard for mobile, high-performance monitor-recorders.
