Melbourne, Australia – 13th April 2026: Atomos today announced the acquisition of Flanders Scientific (FSI), one of the most respected names in professional reference monitoring. This strategic move reinforces Atomos’ long-term commitment to precision monitoring across the entire production pipeline, from on-camera capture through to final color grading and delivery.
By bringing Flanders Scientific into the Atomos group, the company combines world class expertise in color science and reference display technology with Atomos’ global reach, product innovation, and connected ecosystem. The acquisition positions Atomos to deliver a more complete and integrated monitoring solution for filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators worldwide.
Atomos has already established a broad monitoring portfolio spanning multiple stages of production. This includes on-camera monitoring with the Shinobi range and the Ninja family of monitor-recorders, on-set monitoring with the Sumo range, and rack-mounted solutions for broadcast and corporate workflows with the Shogun AV line. In addition, the previously announced Studio Pro line will complement Atomos’ growing reference monitoring capabilities later this year.
With the addition of Flanders Scientific, Atomos now spans the full spectrum of monitoring, from on-camera, on-set, and live production, through to postproduction and final delivery. This combined portfolio reinforces Atomos’ commitment to delivering high quality, value-driven solutions across the entire professional video ecosystem.
Beyond expanding the product portfolio, the acquisition of FSI enables Atomos to immediately support the highest tier of the professional monitoring market. Reference-grade monitoring is not simply defined by higher performance, but by industry validation and trust. Flanders Scientific monitors are widely approved and relied upon by postproduction houses, broadcasters, and major content studios, where strict requirements exist to ensure that content is accurately mastered for delivery. Achieving this level of qualification and adoption takes many years of product development, testing, and industry validation. Through this acquisition, Atomos has added a portfolio of products and technology that are already trusted and validated at the highest levels of the industry, and complementary to the current Atomos product range.
Flanders Scientific will continue to operate as a distinct brand within the Atomos family. There will be no change to its product philosophy, engineering approach, or the high standards that professionals rely on. Customers can expect continued delivery of the same trusted accuracy, consistency, and performance that defines FSI.
At the same time, the acquisition strengthens Atomos’ global support and distribution capabilities. With expanded infrastructure and regional presence, Atomos will be able to better serve customers in markets that have historically been more difficult to reach, while maintaining strong support for FSI’s established professional user base.
This announcement builds on Atomos’ broader investment in advanced display technologies and its ongoing development of the Studio Pro line. Together with Flanders Scientific, Atomos is accelerating its vision to deliver a complete monitoring ecosystem that spans every stage of production.
Peter Barber, Chief Executive Officer of Atomos, said:
“We are incredibly proud to welcome the Flanders Scientific team into Atomos. They have built a reputation for absolute precision and trust in reference monitoring, and that aligns perfectly with where we are taking the Atomos business. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to monitoring at every level, from on-camera through to final delivery, while also accelerating our ability to support the highest tier of professional production and post-production workflows. By combining FSI’s expertise with our global scale and innovation, we are creating something truly unique for the industry. Just as importantly, we are committed to preserving what makes Flanders Scientific special. The brand, the philosophy, and the engineering approach will remain unchanged, while gaining the support and reach of the broader Atomos organization.”
Bram Desmet, Chief Executive Officer of Flanders Scientific, said:
“Joining Atomos is a significant, and exciting, moment for Flanders Scientific. FSI was built on the simple premise that professionals responsible for image fidelity deserve tools they can trust. That standard has never changed, and it won’t. What this partnership gives us is the infrastructure and reach to stand behind that promise for more customers, in more markets, more effectively than we could on our own. I’m excited about what we can deliver together — not just for the broadcast, digital imaging technician, and colorist communities we have always served, but for the broader production world that Atomos reaches every day. The best work FSI has ever done is still ahead of us.”
The acquisition underscores Atomos’ unwavering commitment to precision monitoring and signals a significant step forward in delivering trusted, reference-grade tools for the global production community.
Both brands will be represented on their respective booths at NAB 2026 – Atomos is in Central Hall, booth # C4731, while Flanders Scientific is in North Hall, booth # N1827 – although there will be product cross-pollination across the two locations.
