Operation

The Shogun AV-19 functions as a central hub in a video setup. Cameras are connected via HDMI or SDI, after which the system combines live monitoring, switching, and recording.

The multi-camera functionality allows you to view up to four video sources simultaneously and switch live, while a fifth channel records the compiled program. Thanks to asynchronous switching, genlock is not required, offering flexibility when using different cameras.

The HDR screen supports real-time display of log and HDR signals (HLG), including LUT preview for an accurate assessment of the final result. Images can be recorded directly to CFexpress media or external storage.

Via NDI integration, the monitor can be easily included in IP-based workflows and work with network cameras and existing infrastructures.

Application

The Atomos Shogun AV-19 is suitable for:

• Multicamera live productions and events

• Broadcast and studio environments

• Video village and THIS workflows

• Rack-based control systems

• Cinema productions with high-end cameras (e.g. ARRI, RED, Sony VENICE)

The combination of switching, recording, and monitoring makes it an efficient all-in-one solution.

Limits

• No wireless connectivity (no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth)

• No internal battery (external power only)

• Less mobile due to rackmount size and weight

• Limited to 4 simultaneous inputs for switching

• Requires knowledge of video workflows for optimal use
