Ninja TX Summary
Ninja TX combines SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs, up to 8Kp30Apple ProRes/RAW recording to ultra-fast CFexpress or external USB media, camera control on supported cameras, and a full suite of professional monitoring tools. It features built-in camera-to-cloud with free ATOMOSphere membership, supports NDI 6 streaming, and runs on the lightning-fast AtomOS Linux platform. No other monitor-recorder packs so much performance and compatibility into such a compact, connected device.
Camera control
Using intuitive, on-screen sliders you can adjust white balance, lens aperture, shutter speed and ISO. A red edge display indicates when the camera is recording internally, whether triggered by the camera or from the Ninja TX. Control is available for most Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony mirrorless cameras over USB-C, and all Z CAM E2 series models (LANC cable required, purchased separately).

Touch to focus
Tap the Ninja TX touchscreen to have the camera automatically focus on your point of interest. Touch to focus takes advantage of camera focus modes such as focus tracking for effortless control and sharp images. Available with compatible cameras only.
Preloaded Codecs
Ninja TX comes with preloaded codecs: Apple ProRes/RAW, Avid DNx, H.265 and NDI 6 HX3 TX & RX.


Display
5.2-inch IPS touchscreen, with increased brightness to 1500nits – perfect for clear, precise and vivid monitoring in any setting, from the outdoors in sunlight, to a studio. The 8/10-bit color processing, HDR support, Rec. 709 color gamut, and calibration support ensure accurate and defined color and high-quality monitoring.

New Operating System & Build
Powered by the lightning-fast AtomOS Linux operating with user-friendly UX and a full suite of professional monitoring tools, and a re-engineered build providing a quieter, cooler and more efficient operation.
Wireless Features and Camera to Cloud
Ninja TX camera monitor & recorder comes with connectivity built-in, including, camera-to-cloud with free ATOMOSphere membership, NDI 6 streaming and full integration into an NDI network, It also includes AirGlu timecode sync over RF or Bluetooth to sync all your cameras, audio recorders, and monitors, acting as a timecode sync solution.
Ninja TX is also the leader in Camera to Cloud (C2C) workflows – allowing you to upload your video files directly from your Atomos monitor-recorder to the cloud. Atomos supports direct progressive upload to ATOMOSphere (with a free 20GB starter storage plan), as well as Adobe Frame.io and Dropbox.
The wireless capabilities also provide ‘over the air’ (OTA) firmware updates, for a quick and convenient way to keep the OS current.

Comprehensive Color and Metadata
The Ninja TX supports the use of select Sony, ARRI, JVC, RED, FUJIFILM, Nikon, Panasonic, and Canon log formats. Upload custom 3D LUTs to the monitor and output HDR conversion to Log, HLG, PQ, or Dolby Vision formats.

12G-SDI and HDMI Input/Output
HDMI input supports 8K video up to 30 fps, up to 4K60, and up to 1080p120. Loop-through passes the incoming HDMI signal from the camera to another device, for example, an external monitor, wireless transmitter, or live streaming encoder. The addition of 12G-SDI means a wider range of cameras and production workflows is supported, and the SDI ports also support loop-through. The monitor also supports cross conversion from HDMI to 12G-SDI and 12G-SDI to HDMI.
Via the HDMI input, you can record raw metadata such as white balance, exposure index, shutter speed/angle, Iris F stop, ISO, gamma, and gamut

Recording & Media Options
The Ninja TX now includes a CFexpress Type B slot and dual USB-C recording outputs supporting fast data transfer to external USB media. The optionality is designed for scalability and futureproofing. In addition to recording directly to storage, the USB-C ports can also be used custom 3D LUT uploads and audio devices.

Professional Monitoring Tools
The Ninja TX offers an expansive suite of easy to use, one-touch monitoring tools for focus, framing, and exposure, including focus peaking, zoom (2:1, 1:1), zebras, false color (including ARRI and EL Zone), frame guides, SMPTE safe areas, grid markers, waveforms, RGB parade, vectorscope, and flexible 3D/1D LUT support with profile and preset options (including .cube file uploads). It also provides anamorphic de-squeeze monitoring to correct the ratio for anamorphic lens setups.
Power Options
An L-series battery on the back of the Ninja TX supports NP-F L-series batteries. Alternatively, a battery eliminator can be used to provide DC power to the monitor, or a USB-C port supports 30W PD power delivery with the included cable.


Unique cable locking system
Atomos has developed a unique and rugged locking ecosystem to maintain a secure grip on connected HDMI and USB-C cables. Ninja TX comes with special brackets to facilitate this, and a USB-C locking cable. With Atomos locking cables you get the most robust cable system available today.

Tally light
Adding a tally light to Ninja TX is a simple but powerful update that is especially useful in live production setups. A tally light provides a clear visual indicator of when the camera is recording or broadcasting. When Ninja TX is recording, the light automatically turns red (live/on-air). If the tally light is green it indicates to the talent that the camera/monitor-recorder is on preview or standby.
