The world’s most advanced monitor-recorder series
Introducing Ninja TX, the all-new addition to the Ninja family. It’s equipped with 12G-SDI and HDMI, so now you can monitor & record from any pro camera to ultra-fast CFexpress media or external USB-C storage. You also get built in Wi-Fi for C2C workflows and AirGluTM timecode for multicam projects, all in a lightweight, compact 5-inch form factor.
NEW
50% brighter 1500 nit screen
Ninja TX’s 1500 nit screen is now 50% brighter, and is packed with pro monitoring features like EL Zone™ false color, focus peaking, waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope and more! All Ninja models feature the Atomos OS combined with the 5-inch touchscreen interface to give you far more control of your shot, and displaying more detail than your camera’s built-in display.
NEW
Record to CFexpress and more!
Atomos invented the concept of a monitor that also records to high capacity, inexpensive removable media. Ninja and Ninja Ultra use removable SSD Drives*, and now with Ninja TX you can choose to record on either CFexpress* or an external hard drive* with high-speed USB-C connection. Now you have even more recording media options!
*Storage media purchased separately. Minimum performance / certification requirements apply
NEW
Integrated wireless features
Ninja TX comes with everything included for Wi-Fi cloud connectivity, including 20GB of free ATOMOSPHERE storage and the ability to share footage with anyone, anywhere. Just as with Ninja or Ninja Ultra (fitted with Atomos Connect), you can upload directly to camera to cloud platforms like frame.io and Dropbox, or transmit and receive NDI 6 / HX3 streams.
The versatile monitoring and recording solution
Pro productions
Many professional filmmakers rely on their Ninja to give them pristine RAW video direct from the camera sensor. Unlike many cameras, Ninja can record for hours, not minutes. And all Ninja come with an array of professional monitoring tools that help you really nail the perfect shot.
Multicam shoots
Without timecode synchronization, manually adjusting footage and audio sources can be an arduous and time-consuming process. With AirGlu™ timecode sync over RF or Bluetooth built-in to Ninja TX, you can frame-accurately sync not just your monitor-recorders, but compatible recording devices too.
Content Creators
Ninja is lightweight and portable, perfect for content creators on the go. Its extensive monitoring tools include many different industry-standard frame guides that make it easy to compose your footage for different social channels, without having to reset and re-frame.

NEW
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.
Flexible power options
USB-C PD NEW
Ninja TX supports USB-C Power Delivery (PD), which allows the device to be powered directly from a compatible USB-C source, including power banks, wall adapters, or hub systems.

NP-F batteries are ideal for field use—powering your monitor-recorder through extended shoots without the need for frequent swaps or complex power setups. (Purchased separately)
Battery eliminator
Compatible with all Atomos monitors that accept an NP-F Sony L-Series type battery. Requires the separately available Atomos Locking AC Power Adapter to provide power. (Purchased separately)
Unmatched codec & frame rate flexibility
Resolution and frame rates
The Ninja series supports a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, depending on the output of your camera: up to 120fps at HD resolution, up to 60fps at 4K UHD/DCI and up to 30fps at 8K UHD/DCI resolution. Shooting in higher frame rates is typically used for slow motion playback or fast action scenes.
Choice of codecs
All Ninjas come with Apple ProRes, Avid DNx and H.265/H.264 pre-activated, so you can start shooting immediately with the codec best suited to your project. Ninja TX also includes NDI 6 / HX3 as standard, which is a separate purchase for Ninja and Ninja Ultra.
LOG formats
All Atomos monitor-recorders support a wide variety of LOG profiles from the most popular camera manufacturers, including Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Nikon, Fujifilm, ARRI, and RED. Being able to work with LOG profiles allows for greater dynamic range and more flexibility in color grading during post-production.
Professional monitoring tools
The Ninja range offers a comprehensive suite of simple, 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, an RGB parade, vectorscope, and flexible 3D/1D LUT support with profile and preset options (including .cube file uploads). Additionally, Ninja provides anamorphic de-squeeze monitoring to correct the ratio for anamorphic lens setups.
EL Zone
All Ninja monitor-recorders support EL Zone, a professional false color exposure tool that helps you see exactly how bright or dark different parts of your image are. Unlike traditional false color systems that use rough IRE ranges, EL Zone assigns specific colors to exact exposure values—based on stops of light, in the same way your camera sees exposure. It’s a precise and consistent way to expose your image correctly every time.
LUTS
Ninja receives LOG signals from the camera and offers real-time LUT (Look-Up Table) preview to approximate what the final graded image will look like in Rec.709 — all while recording in high-quality ProRes, DNxHR, or ProRes RAW. Custom LUTs (.cube files) can be loaded from the CFexpress card or SSD and used in conjunction with the Ninja’s built-in monitoring tools for precise exposure control.
See true colors with HDR precision
Brightness
All Ninjas have a 5-inch, 10-bit HDR/SDR touchscreen display. Ninja and Ninja Ultra have 1000 nits of brightness, while Ninja TX has 1500 nits of brightness. All Ninja screens are viewable in direct sunlight and sun hoods are available as a separate purchase for extreme conditions.
High Dynamic Range
You can view 10+ stops of dynamic range from a LOG/PQ/HLG signal. Ninja’s unique HDR monitoring features help you simplify the complexities of shooting LOG and HDR, because it is possible to replicate post-production workflows when it matters most – while you are shooting.
Calibrated
Calibration is the key to a trustworthy monitor. Ninja’s can be calibrated with Calibrite Display Pro HL / Plus HL probe, and using the Atomos Calibrator app, for ongoing accurate HDR and Rec.709 monitoring. Accurate monitoring ensures reliable results.
Cut the cables. Stay connected.
Wireless connectivity is integrated into Ninja TX. Atomos Connect module required for Ninja, and Ninja Ultra (purchased separately)
Camera to Cloud
Camera to Cloud (C2C) is a revolutionary new workflow that allows you to upload your video files directly from your Atomos monitor-recorder to the cloud, right from wherever you’re shooting. There’s no time lost transporting and copying drives. Ninja TX has everything you need to do C2C built in, for Ninja and Ninja Ultra you need to add Atomos Connect, purchased separately. Atomos supports direct upload to our own cloud platform – ATOMOSphere – as well as third-party platforms, including Frame.io and Dropbox.
NDI 6 HX3 transmit and receive
NDI is a way to send and receive video over ordinary networks (including Wi-Fi and mobile) in high quality, but with remarkably low bandwidth requirements. It’s increasingly used in live production and events. Any Ninja can be fully integrated into an NDI environment, either as an NDI source, visible to all other authorized devices on the network, or as an NDI receiver, with all the monitoring functionality you expect from an Atomos device.
NDI is included as standard with Ninja TX. For Ninja and Ninja Ultra it can be purchased from my.atomos.com (requires Atomos Connect).
Timecode
Timecode is a unique digital “timestamp” assigned to each frame of video. It ensures that all your devices—cameras, audio recorders, and monitors—are in perfect sync. Ninja TX includes AirGlu timecode sync over RF or Bluetooth to act as a powerful timecode hub. For Ninja, and Ninja Ultra an Atomos Connect module is required (purchased separately).

Powerful system management tools
Dual Record
Record full-quality ProRes RAW up to 4K 60p while simultaneously recording HD 60p in H.265. It’s the best of both worlds. Craft your edit with the H.265 ‘proxy’ files. If that’s good enough quality for social media, send it out. If not, autoconfirm with the ProRes RAW master files for grading and finishing in post production.
Matching filenames
Automatically match filenames, timecode and record triggers from ARRI, Canon, RED and Sony cameras over SDI, or the Nikon Z9 over HDMI. Matching back to the original in-camera (OCF) filenames makes a autoconforming proxy files a breeze.
SegmentPro
Segment/split long recordings into smaller, user-defined chunks, all without dropping a frame. With SegmentPro you can fit your files into any workflow. It’s easier to share smaller files, and safer too: if you lose a big file, you’ve lost everything. Working with smaller files minimizes this risk.

Monitor-recorders
Atomos was the first company to combine a high-quality touchscreen monitor, removable storage, and Apple ProRes to dramatically improve the quality of video captured by almost any camera. For the first time, video makers could take the uncompressed output from the camera and store it in Apple’s professional, easy-to-edit format. This eBook takes a closer look at what monitor-recorders have to offer.
