Setting Up Your Atomos NINJA V with the GH5 THINGS TO KNOW

In this video I go over how setup the Atomos Ninja V monitor/external recorder with your Panasonic GH5 so that it's ready to record in 4K 60fps in 10 bit 422. I go over how to set up the camera, how to use the monitor and most importantly how to load your own LUTs onto the ninja v. All of the accessories found in this video will be linked below.

ACCESSORIES To Pair With Atomos Ninja V:

Please see below notes for guidance on setting up 4k60p on GH5. Let me know if you are still having issues after following these steps

--> For the GH5 to have access to 60p video, the camera must be in NTSC (59.94 frequency) mode.
--> To get the GH5 to output a 10bit 4:2:2 4KUHD60p signal, you must do the following:
INTERNAL "Rec Quality" is set to 8Bit 4K 150M 60p. This setting can be found under the "Motion Picture Menu."
"HDMI Rec Output" is set to 10Bit 4:2:2. This setting can also be found under the "Motion Picture Menu."

If either of these settings is not correct, the camera will not output the best quality 10Bit 4:2:2 4kUHD at 60p over HDMI. This is noted at the bottom of page 68 in the GH5 manual.

Another important item needed is a high quality HDMI cable that is capable of handling the bandwidth of a 10Bit 4K60p signal. These cables are generally labeled "2.0a" (though not every 2.0a cable is made well enough to work properly).

--> 4Kp60 compatible HDMI Cables are available from Atomos at retail partners, under item numbers ATOM4K60C5, and ATOM4K60C6.
--> If the HDMI cable that is being used is not good enough, you will experience signal dropouts and breaks in your recording. An Intermittent connection between the camera and recorder when using a 4K60p output, is almost always caused by using a cable that can not handle the full signal bandwidth.

You can find a setup video for the GH5 and an Atomos recorder at the following link: @t (Setup begins at @)

Note: To keep all of the 10Bit data, you can record in the following codec formats:
Apple ProRes HQ
Apple ProRes 422
Apple ProRes LT
Avid DNxHR HQX (4k)
Avid DNxHD 220x (HD)
* (All other available Avid DNx Codecs are 8Bit, DNxHD 36 is a Proxy codec)

Hope this helps.

MAN! You just saved my ass with the HDMI cable talk! I forgot to check I had a correct one after upgrading camera. THANK YOU!!

[mitchellkasdin]

Thanks. This was the second or third time I watched this. I just realized I was baking in my vlog L footage.

Finally someone gets it. YouTube is just littered with nonstop schilling but what do we do with it and how do we use it? Thanks man.

[robertvasi]

[renstarhurst]

Hello. I'm two years late to the party however I shall use this to help set up my Ninja V.

I was scratching my little brain on how to stop the stuff on my GH5 screen being recorded on the Ninja V.
Cheers

Hi. Many thanks for this. You're a brave man... I see you've a cage for the camera but not for the Ninja, and no cable locks. Both my G9 and Ninja Flame are 'caged' AND both cages have cable locks to protect the HDMI ports from being distorted/destroyed by the cable being inadvertently ripped out. Smallrig do a range of great value cages and HDMI cable locks, and no, I'm not affiliated in any way!
Also, as the Flame is heavier, especially with dual batteries, I find the magic arm isn't strong enough to immobilise the Flame during movement due to too much leverage. I use a Uni-loc ballhead which I had lying around which is more robust and brings the monitor much closer to the camera which suits my style of handheld shooting. When on a tripod, then the magic arm will suffice.
Definitely consider cages and cable locks! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for this video really useful information :)

[droneservices]

Clear, simple and on point. Best info on the ninja so far, thanks.

[Marlonorellana]

dude awesome video seriously needed this!

[schmidt-film]

Help to understand, you say that the camera is able to write 60 frames 10 bit 4 K but at 5:33 you have chosen the option 8 bit
in my camera there are no opportunities to choose 60:8 bits : 4K frames
how do you solve this problem ?

[liamsilly]

HDMI Recording Control is greyed out for me?

[sebinthomasbabu]

Hai..I
Great Video..Although I have a question. I am using a SONY AX100E Prosumer camcorder. It doesn't have any LOG profiles. Only standard profile is given to shoot the videos. So If I get Atmos Ninja V, can I shoot the Log profile, Although my video cam ( internally ) don't have one. And, can I use ProRes, eventhough my camera doesnt provide one. The same goes with 4K 60 as my camera only gives an option of 4K 25fps.

Hi, can you tell me if atomos shinobi 5" monitor works fine with canon eos m5 and m6. Thanks alot 🙂

[anthonypeirce]

hi there i want to get the atomos ninji v but for use as a monitor only. not recording from the atomos it self just record from my panasonic hc x1 camcorder, you only need batteries not ssd is that correct, cheaper monitors dont do ultra hd at 50fps at 8bit.

[lionroots]
