Aprašymas
The Atomos Shogun Studio is a professional dual-channel 4K/HD rackmount recorder and monitor system engineered for broadcast OB trucks, live production facilities, and studio playback workflows. Its dual 7-inch displays and independent recording channels support ProRes, DNxHR, and uncompressed V210 codecs via HDMI and 6G-SDI inputs, with full genlock and timecode sync for synchronized multi-camera operations. Built for demanding broadcast environments, it delivers 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth and professional audio I/O with phantom power. Available new, ex-demo, and used — contact us for current stock and pricing.

FAQ
Can I synchronize two Shogun Studio units across an OB van using genlock and timecode, and what control protocol do I need for machine control?+
Yes. Each unit accepts genlock (video sync reference) and LTC timecode in/loop, enabling frame-accurate synchronization across multiple recorders. RS422 machine control is supported for external automation and device control. For dual-unit setups, distribute a common genlock reference (blackburst or tri-level sync) and LTC via distribution amplifiers to both units' dedicated inputs. Confirm your automation system supports RS422; if legacy serial control is required, assess whether your control infrastructure can bridge to RS422.
What storage throughput do I need, and how many drives should I have on standby for a full broadcast day?+
Throughput depends on codec and resolution. Dual 4K-UHD 30p ProRes HQ runs approximately 2.5 Gbps combined; dual 1080p 60 ProRes 422 runs ~500 Mbps. Use 2.5-inch SSDs (Master Caddy II format) rated for sustained broadcast write speeds (minimum 450 Mbps). For continuous 8-hour operations, calculate total bytes, then add 20% margin. Stock at least three drives per recorder channel to allow rotation, formatting, and archive without operational gaps. Verify your SSD vendor's QC data for broadcast-duty endurance.
Does the Shogun Studio support 6G-SDI full-duplex I/O on both channels simultaneously, or do I need to choose record or loop-out per channel?+
The unit features bidirectional 6G-SDI conversion (HDMI to SDI and vice versa) with SDI loop-out capability, but the exact simultaneous I/O configuration per channel depends on firmware revision and hardware configuration. Both channels support independent recording and monitoring; confirm with current firmware documentation whether both channels can simultaneously accept 6G-SDI input and output loop-out, or if input/output sharing applies. This distinction is critical for daisy-chaining monitors or routers in multi-camera rigs.
What is the power consumption per unit, and can I run two Shogun Studios from a standard OB van UPS or solar power array?+
Typical power draw for a Shogun Studio is 120–150 W under full dual-channel 4K record and display operation. Dual units require 250–300 W sustained; peak spikes during initialization may reach 350–400 W. Standard broadcast UPS systems (typically 1–3 kVA) handle this easily, but confirm your van's PSU capacity, especially if running CCUs, routers, and mixing consoles simultaneously. For solar rigs, size batteries for 2–3 hours autonomy minimum. Request the exact power specification for your firmware revision from Atomos technical support.
The Shogun Studio records 10-bit 4:2:2—what happens if I feed it 12-bit or 4:4:4 SDI signals, and will that cause clipping or silent failure?+
The Shogun Studio accepts and converts 12-bit and 4:4:4 SDI signals, but records only 10-bit 4:2:2. Input conversion to the supported color depth and sampling is automatic; no clipping occurs, but information outside 10-bit/4:2:2 is discarded. This is acceptable for most broadcast workflows, but if your signal originates as 12-bit 4:4:4 mastering-grade content, you lose precision. For critical color-grading workflows, use a separate 12-bit recorder or verify lossy conversion meets your QC standards. Test your exact SDI source beforehand.
Can the dual 7-inch monitors run independent SDI/HDMI feeds, or must they mirror the same source for both record channels?+
Each monitor is independently assignable to its corresponding record channel, allowing you to monitor two different camera feeds simultaneously—essential for multi-camera synchronization. The monitors display independent video plus waveform, vectorscope, and focus peaking tools per channel. You cannot display different video sources on left and right monitors from a single channel, but this architecture supports true dual-channel independent monitoring, which is the primary workflow for this unit. This is a core feature for OB trucks with quad-split or multi-format feeds.
What are the wear items I should stock (fans, cables, drive connectors), and how do I plan maintenance intervals in a 24/7 broadcast schedule?+
Primary wear items are SSDs (5–7 year MTBF), cooling fans (if accessible; verify serviceability with Atomos), and HDMI/SDI connectors (physical stress). Master Caddy II drive caddies should be inspected regularly for corrosion. Schedule preventative maintenance during low-demand windows: firmware updates quarterly, thermal paste inspection annually if in hot OB environments, and connector reseating every 500 operating hours. Keep spare power supplies, SDI/HDMI patch cables, and XLR audio adapters on hand. Request a spare parts list and technical support contact details from your reseller before deployment.
How does the Shogun Studio integrate with my existing router and CCU infrastructure, and what metadata or control signals does it pass through?+
The Shogun Studio is a recording and monitoring endpoint, not a routing device. It accepts SDI/HDMI from a router and outputs loop-out for daisy-chaining monitors or secondary recorders. Genlock and LTC timecode pass through cleanly for synchronization but do not carry router control data; CCU and router control remain separate domains over RS422 or Ethernet (AMP protocol, if supported). For tightly integrated workflows, use the unit's Ethernet port for device discovery and status monitoring. Confirm your router and CCU support the same timecode distribution standard (EBU or SMPTE 12M).
If one record channel fails mid-broadcast, can I instantly switch recording to the second channel without losing sync, or do I need manual reconfiguration?+
Each channel operates independently with separate genlock, timecode, and record controls. If one channel fails, the second continues uninterrupted provided it has separate SDI/HDMI feed, storage, and audio input. However, instant automatic failover is not built-in; you must manually redirect the failed camera feed to the healthy channel and verify timecode lock before resuming record. For mission-critical single-feed scenarios, use external redundancy (dual recorders in parallel with a router to select active unit). For dual-camera ops, this architecture inherently provides channel-level failover—verify failover procedure and rack layout in advance.
