Atomos has released an in-depth video showing all the new features in AtomOS 11. AtomOS11 was released way back in August 2023, so it is interesting to see Atomos put up this video almost 5 months later.
There has been user frustration caused by the current situation regarding AtomOS 11 compatibility and feature availability for the Ninja V and Ninja V Plus. Please be aware that AtomOS 11 is designed to support only the recently introduced chipset, exclusive to the new Ninja, Ninja Ultra, Shogun, Shogun Connect, and Shogun Ultra models. Consequently, its previous Ninja V and Ninja V Plus models do not support AtomOS 11. Atomos states that, they want to emphasize that they remain committed to enhancing the Ninja V and Ninja V Plus platforms.

New Features of AtomOS 11
Completely overhauled user interface
The AtomOS 11 operating system offers a fresh new look with countless optimizations to increase performance, usability, and some impressive new features.
PlaybackAssist
Using the new PlaybackAssist feature, users can create custom ordered playlists, making the review of dailies, or even play out to digital signage or large format displays a breeze.
Scheduled Play is also part of the PlaybackAssist feature set, allowing users to choose the time when the device should start playing back specific files. This could be after a user-defined timer has elapsed, or at a specific time of day.

RecordAssist
Similarly to PlaybackAssist, the brand new RecordAssist feature allows you to schedule when you want your device to start recording. The recording can start at a specific time, or when your previously configured timer has elapsed. This also applies to the Timelapse function.

New Colorized Exposure modes
Introduction of two new alternatives to our traditional False Color implementation on Atomos devices: Arri False Color and the EL Zone System invented by Hollywood DP Ed Lachman, ASC.
Note: The Arri and EL Zone System exposure tools can only be activated when our device detects either a Log or RAW Input. It’s not selectable on the Shogun Connect when cameras are outputting video with Rec.709 or generic non-LOG picture profiles to it.

Record and upload 4Kp60 clips in C2C Workflows
By selecting the new “Single Recording” Camera to Cloud mode in Atomos Cloud Studio, Shogun users can now upload high quality 4K clips at up to 60fps to either Frame.io or the Sony Ci Media cloud.
These clips are significantly higher quality than our 1080p and 720p proxies, and they’re perfect for quick-turnaround jobs and every scenario where high quality C2C clips will end up in the final edit.
Note: Using this feature requires an active subscription to either the CLASSIC or PREMIUM tier in Atomos Cloud Studio.
Transmit and Receive wirelessly with RemoteView
Atomos RemoteView lets you share what’s on your Atomos screen with other Atomos monitors on AtomOS 11, as well as with iPads, Macs and Apple TVs. Powered by a unique combination of AtomOS 10 and AtomOS 11 and Atomos Cloud Studio, you can share with the person standing next to you or someone across the globe just as easily. Even use Shogun to receive the RemoteView feed and also loop out to HDMI or SDI too. Also overlay images on each camera source and watermark an image over each monitor output.
Note: Any AtomOS 10 & OS 11 device, or iPhone running the Atomos Pro Camera app can transmit (TX) to a RemoteView session. However, only AtomOS 11 devices, the Atomos – Surface app for macOS and iPadOS, and the Atomos – Monitor Apple tvOS app can be configured to be receiving (RX) devices.
Note: AtomOS10 TX devices can only support 25/50/29.97/59.94 FPS sessions, whereas OS11 TX devices can also support 23.98 and 24 FPS sessions.
Note: RemoteView Audio Support, Camera Input 1 is routed to all of the Monitor slot Outputs.
