February 01, 2012 -- DMN Newswire--2012-2-1--

?Thanks to Nikon, the Atomos Ninja is the killer product we designed it to be. We take our hats off to the D4 for its ability to deliver perfect sensor images over HDMI. Our goal of creating smarter production tools for creatives is becoming a reality.

 

?Ninja and Nikon D4 are the ultimate bang-for -buck combination for recording high quality images, in 4:2:2 Apple ProRes, directly to HDD, or to SSD if you prefer. We even include a monitor and extra audio inputs so you can play back your recorded footage instantaneously for review. said Jeromy Young, CEO and Co-Founder of Atomos.

 

The Atomos Ninja is an attractive field recorder designed in collaboration with Apple which allows recording of pristine, uncompressed images straight from the HDMI connector of your DSLR or camcorder directly to Apple ProRes. All while youre recording. The Ninja implements Apple ProRes in hardware to give you real-time, 10-bit recording anytime, anywhere. It takes advantage of low-cost, modern technology by utilizing HDMI-capable pro-video and consumer camcorders as well as DSLRs. Many features from Atomos are designed with real productions and real situations in mind, to create smarter workflows, keeping the highest quality but also keeping running costs low. The Ninja was designed with a long battery life and Atomos unique continuous power technology (patent pending) means that you never have to interrupt a Ninja recording to swap power cells.

 

Julian Hollingshead, NPS Business Support Executive at Nikon UK says: ?The Nikon D4 camera is the ultimate tool for professional photographers thanks to its high ISO capabilities, incredible speed and responsiveness and advanced video capabilities that give both photographers and videographers the multimedia output options they require.

 

He adds: ?Weve responded to the changing needs of our customers by incorporating new features such as an audio monitoring socket, on-camera audio level monitoring and a clean uncompressed HDMI which can be maximised using the Ninja field recorder.

About Nikon

Founded in Japan in 1917, Nikon has grown to become the world leader in digital and precision optics technology with a strong presence in all four corners of the world.

 

Through its award-winning product line-up, including entry-level and professional digital SLR cameras, interchangeable NIKKOR lenses and the consumer COOLPIX range, Nikon regularly raises the standard in product design and performance. With over 90 years of engineering expertise, it is no wonder that Nikon is the top choice for photographers around the world.

 

In 2009, Nikon celebrated two key milestones in the lens category  - the 50^th anniversary of its legendary F-mount SLR lens-mounting system, making it the only manufacturer to sustain its original lens mount for such a long period, and has recently exceeded production of over 60 million NIKKOR lenses. Both highlight Nikons dedication to producing quality and functional products that can be used by photographers for years to come.

 

Nikon also produces equipment such as IC and LCD steppers and scanners, instruments such as microscopes and semiconductor inspection equipment. Other products include sports optics products such as binoculars, rangefinders and fieldscopes, ophthalmic lenses and surveying instruments. It is the only major optical company in the world that still controls and manufactures every aspect of its glass-making business, allowing it to finely tune Nikon lens specifications, quality and performance.

 

Nikon has consolidated net global sales of 887,512 million Japanese Yen (year ending 31 March,2011) and Nikon Corporation is listed on the Tokyo stock exchange.
