Atomos enables ProRes RAW recording from the Sony FX6

Atomos has released the AtomOS 10.43 firmware update for the Shogun 7 monitor/recorder that enables you to record ProRes RAW from the RAW signal coming out of the Sony FX6.

The Sony FX6 can output 16-bit linear RAW over 12G-SDI that is then converted and recorded as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW on the Atomos Shogun 7. This allows users to record ProRes RAW images at up to DCI 4Kp60.

Some Sony FX9 owners are sure to be envious that 16-bit linear RAW can be output directly over SDI without the need for the large and expensive Sony XDCA-FX9 Extension Unit.
