By technical editor Matt Allard:
Atomos have announced external recording support for Canon’s latest C300 MkII. The Shogun will be able to record 10bit from the 4K Raw output of the C300 Mark II to ProRes 4K, Avid DNxHR 4K or Cinema DNG up to 4K and UHD 30p. You will also be able to record HD 1080p at up to 60fps.
This from Atomos:
“The Cinema EOS range is the workhorse of the modern production environment. The Shogun turns the C300 MkII workhorse into a race horse, recording direct from the RAW sensor output of the camera to Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR.” said Jeromy Young CEO and co-founder of Atomos. “We can now process from sensor to record and all the way to final production covering industry standard edit codecs and RAW workflow – Shogun is a must for this camera.”
The Shogun brings a host of monitoring, playback and deck functionality all designed to make camera setup, shot setup and work in post production easier. And new C300 MkII users can stock up on Atomos CFast cards available in both 64GB and 128GB to keep production costs even lower.
