Atomos Ninja Ultra 5.2″ 4K HDMI Recording Monitor

The Atomos Ninja Ultra 5.2″ 4K HDMI Recording Monitor is a compact on-camera monitor-recorder designed for DSLR and mirrorless camera setups, supporting DCI 4K HDMI content and capable of ProRes RAW recording up to 8K when paired with compatible cameras. Running Atomos’s updated AtomOS 11 operating system, it brings HDR monitoring and RAW recording capability into a familiar, small form factor well suited to location and on-set production work.

The monitor features a 5.2-inch IPS touchscreen display at a native 1920 x 1080 resolution, delivering up to 1000 cd/m² brightness for clear visibility even in direct sunlight, with 8-bit + FRC processing offering 1.07 billion colors and a 427 ppi pixel density. The HDMI 2.0 input and output support DCI 4K video at up to 60fps for monitoring, recording, and playback, with 3.5K RAW at up to 60fps also supported on select cameras; over 55 different cameras support RAW recording over HDMI with the Ninja Ultra, reaching up to 8K at 30fps, 6K at 60fps, or 4K at 120fps in ProRes formats. Recording codec options include ProRes, ProRes RAW, and DNxHD/DNxHR, along with H.265 (HEVC), and a dual-recording workflow lets users simultaneously capture 4K60 ProRes RAW alongside an H.265 proxy for efficient editing and camera-to-cloud workflows.

Atomos’s AtomHDR processing engine enables real-time Log-to-PQ/HLG previewing, with support for HDR output conversion to Log, HLG, PQ, or Dolby Vision formats, and custom 3D LUTs can be uploaded directly to the monitor. Built-in monitoring tools include waveform, vectorscope, false color, focus peaking, RGB parade, screen markers, zebra, EL Zone overlays, and anamorphic de-squeeze, along with RecordAssist and PlaybackAssist functions. SDI Cine functionality (enabled via the optional Atomos CONNECT module) automates filename, timecode, and record-trigger matching from ARRI, Canon, RED, and Sony cameras, and auto HDMI camera triggering is natively supported for Canon and Sony cameras using the Atomos Open Standard.

Connectivity includes one HDMI 2.0 input and one HDMI 2.0 output (no HDCP support), a 3.5mm audio input and a 3.5mm headphone output, and a barrel power connector alongside USB-C PD charging and control. The optional Atomos CONNECT module can add SDI input/output, Wi-Fi 6E, AirGlu timecode sync, and NDI streaming capability. Build quality centers on a durable aluminum shell weighing just 360g, powered by a Sony L-series battery or USB-C PD, and designed to integrate with existing Ninja-series mounting accessories for rig, gimbal, or cage use.
