Shogun Ultra & ProRes RAW
More than 55 cameras now support RAW recording via HDMI and SDI with the Shogun Ultra, and the list continues to grow. Apple ProRes RAW combines the visual benefits and workflow of RAW video with the incredible real-time performance of ProRes. It offers filmmakers great flexibility in adjusting the look of their images, making it ideal for HDR workflows. The new Apple ProRes RAW plug-in adds camera-specific properties to the mix. Record up to 6Kp30. Or capture up to 4Kp30 ProRes for Camera to Cloud while simultaneously recording an HDp30 H.265 proxy file.
NDI with the Shogun Ultra
NDI is a way to transmit video over conventional networks (including Wi-Fi and cellular) in high quality with remarkably low bandwidth requirements. It is increasingly being used in live production, and now your Shogun can be connected to an NDI network. The NDI TX option turns your Shogun into an NDI source that is visible to all other NDI-compatible devices on the local network.
