Atomos Academy tutorial: Shoot ProRes RAW with the Sony PXW-FX9 and SHOGUN 7 with Alister Chapman

Join Sony Independent Certified Expert Alister Chapman to learn all about the upcoming Apple ProRes RAW recording solution for the Sony PXW-FX9 camcorder using the Atomos SHOGUN 7 monitor-recorder. The PXW-FX9 will require the Sony XDCA-FX9 Extention Unit to output RAW over SDI and initially the Atomos SHOGUN 7 will record pristine Apple ProRes RAW images at up to DCI 4Kp60, or in 2K up to DCI 2Kp180 continuous. The FX9 camera’s RAW output (via XDCA-FX9) will be enabled via the V2.0 firmware update for the FX9 from Sony planned in October 2020. At the same time there will be a free AtomOS firmware download for the SHOGUN 7 to allow PXW-FX9 RAW recording.

In the video Alister will walk you through the setup for the camera and recorder, as well as showing how to easily get ProRes RAW clips into Final Cut Pro X and edit them.

The SHOGUN 7 offers a true RAW recording system that takes 16-bit linear image data directly from the state-of-the-art full-frame sensor and outputs if for recording in 12-bit ProRes RAW format (log encoded) on the SHOGUN 7. The result is a flexible and efficient RAW file that is visually lossless, easy to edit and much easier to store than traditional uncompressed RAW formats. The resulting images have amazing detail and the maximum latitude for post-production - optimal for HDR finishing or to give greater flexibility in SDR (Rec.709).

Atomos believes ProRes RAW is the new standard for RAW video capture, which is supported by an ever growing number of cameras over SDI or HDMI. The format gives filmmakers enormous latitude when adjusting the look of their images and extending brightness and shadow detail, making it ideal for HDR workflows. Both ProRes RAW, and the higher bandwidth, less compressed ProRes RAW HQ are supported. Manageable file sizes speed up and simplify file transfer, media management, and archiving. ProRes RAW is supported in Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere and Grass Valley Edius, along with a collection of other apps including ASSIMILATE SCRATCH, Colorfront and FilmLight Baselight.

What is the thing on the back of the camera and what are its benefits?

Is it possible to record in prores raw with the sony FX9 and the Atomos Ninja V or the Ninja V+?

[emagic]

I'd be very curious to see how the fx9 with prores RAW keys out a complicated green screen and whether it would be better than internal XAVC-I. This would make us consider this camera or fx6 and recorder.

Hallo Atomos team. I have a problem i think with my shogun 7. I use FS 5 and when i record in prores RAW Slog 2 on my Shogun. Why the color profile of my footage not slog2 but 709. ? not flat look. ANd then, I cant change on FCP X. Thx youuu, , ,

Hello! I bought Atomos ninja 5. I have a problem! I activated ProRes and DNxHD. I have a camera Sony a7s lll, through the camera I activated ProRes RAW, but when I adjust the monitor ProRes 422 or HQ or DNxHD codec, the recorder does not accept them, there is no signal.

I'm wondering, how do you downsample the 6k sensor data to a 4k RAW stream ?
I'm quite lost tbh ^^

Lovely but would be even more lovely if this firmware was made available to EVERYONE ! :)

[projectblm]

Is there an anamorphic mode coming soon. Please say yes. 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Atomos and the Sony fx9 and a7s3 are a wonderful combo. I have been using atomos recorders for years and that won’t change. I am looking so forward to firmware 2 on my fx9 and delivery of the a7s3. Fx52 still offers end recording and s Cinetone baked in if needed, and with the atomos 7 (or earlier models) offers end record or buffer recording... my standard way w that setup. Will the a7s3 offers end or buffer record? I hope so. Thank you atomos and Alister Chapman!

you have to go faster ssds like u.2 or m.2. 4K60p uncompressed RAW, CinemaDNG recording was already possible by Convergent Design in almost 5 years ago. they used 2 ssds to get there but now you have better options. why stick with low-speed SATA3 SSD? forget the obsoletes.

[tomasmontero]

Sumo19 update to support this ? ya, product abandonment as usual.
