In today’s world of fast-paced video production, any means of making your productions more efficient, without sacrificing image quality, can give you a competitive edge. While Atomos has long been the leader in camera monitor-recorders, our recently-introduced ‘connected’ monitor-recorders with Camera-to-Cloud (C2C) capabilities such as the Ninja TX give filmmakers, content creators, and production teams the additional power to capture, review, and share footage instantly — all while monitoring in stunning HDR detail.
By pairing your camera with an Atomos C2C-enabled monitor-recorder, you get the benefits of a bright and clear display, with professional monitoring tools, plus direct integration with cloud platforms designed for content creators – including our own ATOMOSphere, Adobe’s Frame.io and Dropbox.
Here are the top reasons to make Atomos C2C part of your workflow:
- Automatic footage upload for faster workflows
With C2C, your footage starts being sent to the cloud as soon as you hit record. This eliminates the time needed for managing card handling and offloads, and accelerates delivery schedules.
- Real-time remote collaboration avoids costly reshoots
Editors, producers, and clients can review your shots from anywhere in the world, enabling instant feedback and potentially reducing the need for costly reshoots.
- Automatic cloud backup
Every uploaded file becomes a secure backup, protecting your project in case of unforeseen storage failure, damage, or accidental misplacement.
- Faster post-production turnaround times
Editors can start working on proxy files before the shoot even wraps, which is essential for news, sports, and fast-paced marketing content. Delivering high-quality footage faster than competitors also gives you an edge in industries where speed to market matters.
- Simplified client relationships
Clients can log in to view content you have shared with them in a project immediately, without waiting for file transfers or in-person review sessions.
- Ideal for remote and multi-location productions
When you’re shooting a documentary across multiple countries, or a corporate interview with remote stakeholders, C2C makes distance an irrelevence.
