ATOMOS Cloud Studio is now available and the first three products in the new CONNECT range are now shipping. ZATO CONNECT, ATOMOS CONNECT for NINJA V/NINJA V+, SHOGUN CONNECT, and ATOMOS Cloud provides users with a combination of network-connected devices and cloud services for sharing media and collaborating with remote team members.
ZATO CONNECT provides support for HDMI and USB UVC sources and it was designed to be an accessible and easy way to create a livestream or increase the capabilities of a webcam. ATOMOS CONNECT is a network accessory that was specially designed to attach to the ATOMOS NINJA V and NINJA V+ production devices for monitoring and recording. SHOGUN CONNECT is an all-in-one production device with all of the connected technologies built-in. All three devices support ATOMOS Cloud Studio and work with the new ATOMOS Stream service.
With a forthcoming update, ATOMOS CONNECT and SHOGUN CONNECT will integrate seamlessly with Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C).
ATOMOS Cloud Studio
ATOMOS Cloud Studio is a collection of new cloud-based video production services. Launching with ATOMOS Stream and shortly after ATOMOS Capture to Cloud, which will introduce C2C workflows. With support for SHOGUN CONNECT, ATOMOS CONNECT for NINJA V/V+, and ZATO CONNECT, anyone with a compatible camera or device will be able to make use of these tools to share media and collaborate in real-time.
ATOMOS Stream
ATOMOS Stream is an all-in-one solution that enables any ATOMOS network-enabled device to deliver a live stream. You can use ZATO CONNECT, ATOMOS CONNECT, or SHOGUN CONNECT, to connect the device to the destination platform, and then configure a stream. At launch ATOMOS Stream will include free support to deliver content directly to a single platform including Facebook Live, Twitch, YouTube, etc.
Later this year, ATOMOS will release a premium restreaming service, via ATOMOS Cloud Studio that will support the delivery to multiple platforms simultaneously. ATOMOS Stream utilizes industry-standard encryption to ensure that all data transfers are protected and streams are secure. The integrated system supports a large range of cameras. Customers can choose to work with high-end digital cinema cameras, mirrorless hybrids, or iOS devices.
Frame.io Camera to Cloud (Coming Soon)
C2C has been used by countless productions to instantly get footage from the set to post-production teams. Files are transmitted to Frame.io using a standard internet connection. Editorial teams using Frame.io NLE integrations will see new clips populate into their bins throughout the day. Customers no longer have to wait for long file transfers or hard drives to ship. With SDI or HDMI video captured by ATOMOS CONNECT and SHOGUN CONNECT, a lot more cameras are now compatible with C2C and are able to support cloud workflows.
Once an ATOMOS CONNECT or SHOGUN CONNECT is paired with a Frame.io Project (via ATOMOS Cloud Studio), customers can utilize a complete, end-to-end C2C experience. Every recording is immediately available to view in Frame.io, or for download into integrated video applications, including Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
ATOMOS Live Production (Coming September 2022)
Later this year ATOMOS will release Live Production, a complete, cloud-based control room for live video and remote collaboration. The toolset includes a fully-featured video switcher and sound mixer, with video effects, graphics, and talkback.
Live Production can work with any camera, from professional broadcast models, through DSLR and mirrorless, to the Apple iPhone and the system is able to provide timecode sync to all sources in the cloud and on every connected device. Using the new ZATO CONNECT, ATOMOS CONNECT, or SHOGUN CONNECT devices, camera feeds are streamed to the Live Production system. Utilizing an ultra-low-latency protocol, each stream can be controlled in real-time from a browser, iPad app, or any compatible control panel from anywhere in the world. Once logged into the system crew members can view, direct, produce, mix, and more from any location. The integrated live talkback technology keeps team members connected and allows for an iPhone to be hooked up to ensure team members can communicate directly and easily. Delivery destinations include a dedicated Apple TV app or iOS devices, to make sure everyone can view the production as it goes live.

You can also use it to create a webcam source for Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, and other conferencing software. It offers support for Wi-Fi 5 and Gigabit Ethernet (via USB-C) to ensure maximum network compatibility. ZATO CONNECT will also convert HDMI sources to webcam signals and includes the ability to combine sources. AtomOS Lite also contains all the tools to record streams and overlay graphics. ZATO CONNECT is claimed to be easy to setup and operate.
ZATO CONNECT is now available for purchase for $399 USD. Upon receiving the device users will need to update their device to AtomOS 10.01 to make use of the latest features.

NDI|HX Support
ATOMOS has developed a full implementation of the NDI|HX standard for ATOMOS CONNECT and SHOGUN CONNECT. NDI technology has been developed to make communication between devices on a local network (LAN) easy to set up and to provide refined encoding, and deliver frame-accurate video. Initial support will be for NDI|HX encode (to act as an NDI source or transmission device) and with a software update later this year ATOMOS will introduce NDI|HX decode (to receive the NDI source signal for viewing and recording). This will enable customers to share the picture between multiple devices locally and select a specific device (or devices) to record the NDI encoded file.
