CONTROL PR

OTOCOLS TO SUIT YOUR OPERATION

Offering the lightning fast touch screen interface of the

AtomOS for in rack control, remote control via AMP over

ethernet and 9-pin RS422 Machine control protocols for

both recording and playback. You can also cascade

trigger controls to enable multiple recorders to start

recording from a single input.

METADATA TAGGING AT POINT OF ACQUISITION

Save time in post by tagging your captured content

the moment you review on set. Mark using 10 tags

including Favorite/Reject in record or playback mode

& even mark the i/o points for the tags. Create custom

playlist of favorites which respects subclip

I/O

points,

selected clips or all clips with either a rundown or

reverse order playback. Then save them out as an XML

to the drive and drop straight onto the timeline of your

choice of NLE.

MASTER YOUR RACK

Physically the Shogun Studio has been designed for

easy integration into existing facilities. The 3RU height

snugly fits the dual 7” screens, the short rack depth

makes it easy for use in monitor bridges or smaller OB

vehicles and the touchscreen interface makes it easy to

use for any operator with most of the functionality one

touch away.

VIDEO, AUDIO AND SYNCHRONISATION I/O

The rear of the Shogun Studio provides grouped

connectivity for each of the recorder channels with

12/6/3/1.5G SDI, HDMI with 4K deep color support and

balanced XLR audio. There is also Genlock, LTC input

and loop through plus control connectivity using 9 pin

D-SUB RS422 or AMP over Ethernet. Outside of the I/O,

Shogun Studio has scaling and conversion capability

built in to save on rack space and troublesome wall

wart PSU’s. Bi-directional SDI & HDMi signal converters

allow HDMI DSLRs to be input and routed to SDI mixers,

screens or multi viewers. The HDMI and SDI output

also has the option for downscaling for connection with

HD infrastructure. The redundant dual power supply

balances the power load and are lined to the user

interface to provide a necessary warning if a PSU fails.

CONTROL

Each of the Shogun Studio channels can be operated

via the independent touch screens to adjust record,

monitor, playback and edit functions. The Shogun

Studio can also be controlled via RS422 Machine

control or via AMP over Ethernet.

ADVANCED RECORD MODES

Both channels record camera ISO feeds directly

from the sensor (4K UHD, 4K DCI Raw, 1080p60) to

increased quality 4:2:2 10-bit edit friendly ProRes or

DNxHR with file naming and metadata. Outside of

recording to these advanced codecs, Shogun Studio

offers numerous advanced record modes not previously

available in other rack mount DDRs.

i) Continuous Record – combines the dual recording

channels into a single record channel that will

automatically switch over when the disk is full. Allows

for drives to be replaced without any down time in

recording, perfect for long form sports or live event

recording.

ii) Dual Record – creates a dynamic link between both

recorders allowing for simultaneous recording in a

Master and Slave setup. This function provides the

ability to create Dual Codec recording for online and

offline workflows as well as Dual resolution recording

for 4K Masters and HD deliverables or the creation of

dailies with burnt in LUTs.

iii) Pre Roll - continually cache record 8 seconds in

HD or 2-3 seconds in 4K to make sure you never miss

the action.

iv) Time Lapse – define your own capture sequences

with flexibility over time lapse settings including up to

10 sequences, scheduled start time and motion blur –

perfect for creating behind the scenes content for live

or sports events.

IMAGE ANALYSIS & QC

The 7” Monitors provide accurate REC.709 viewing of

content as well as a host of tools for image analysis.

Wave Form Monitors – offer Luma Parade, RGD parade,

Vector Scope with Vector zoom.

1:1 and 2:1 zoom

– allow for operators to punch in to

check shots for focus, exposure and which is perfect

when used in combination with a remote camera control

unit.

Focus peaking, zebra and false color

– allow

for further image QC checks to be remotely monitored

in conjunction with control via a separate camera

control unit.

LUTs

– use LOG outputs from the camera

to increase the dynamic range and bring increased

definition in highlights and shadows in post production.

Audio monitoring

– providing VU meters for up to 12

channels of embedded audio with the ability to monitor

individual tracks and select which tracks to record.

METADATA TAGGING, CUT EDITS & EDL XML

Make editing decisions on the fly and in review with a

choice of 10 tags. You can start to mark clips while you

record and then review, cut and tag in playback mode.

Assemble clips to create a play list of your favorite clips

and instantly push these out to live screens, director’s

viewing monitors, galleries etc. Marked in and out points

are carried right through to post production with the

export of edit decisions as XML that can be imported

with clips in to Apple, Avid or Adobe NLEs. Scene, shot

and take naming criteria allow for storage management

systems to identify clips and start to orchestrate projects

or even create pre populated bins.

PLAYBACK & PLAYLIST

Complementing the recording and monitoring capability

is the ability to play out 4K and HD content in the same

visually lossless quality as the input. Playlists can

be created from clips either recorded on an Atomos

recorder or from your edit system in a supported codec,

resolution and frame rate. Grouped clips can be played

in either a run down or reverse order without the need

for a seperate playout server. Mark in and out points to

create sub clips, loop the playlist or in single clips mark

in and out points for looped play back

PRO AV

With playlist functionality & control via RS422, Ethernet

or on screen, the Shogun Studio is an affordable 4K

& HD play out engine for video walls, signage and

projection. Additionally, with dual channel play out

capability over HDMI or 1.5/3/6/12G SDI, Genlock and

4K to HD down scaling the Shogun Studio can be used

to provide synchronized 4K, 2K and HD simultaneous

play out to high resolution projector or signage

systems.

MOBILE PRODUCTION

With rack space at a premium and resolution on the

rise, Mobile Production professionals will welcome the

ability to record, monitor, test, measure, convert and

play out from a single 3RU device. Dual codec, dual

resolution recording maximises the flexibility in mobile

situations. Combine the ability to record 4K resolution

ISO feeds with a hardware down converted HD proxy

version, record ProRes on one channel and DNxHR

on the other or even playback and convert from one

codec/resolution combination to another. Connecting

to infrastructure is simple as well with built-in HDMI and

SDI conversion that is bi-directional. Shogun Studio is

ready for the 4K future, but 4K acquisition doesn’t have

to mean 4K delivery – when 4K can be achieved on a

HD budget and you have the capability to downscale

or record codec to suit you have the perfect product

now and for the future in the tight space of Mobile

production.

EVENT

Shogun Studio solves many of the problems faced

by multi camera events with long run times. Our

Master Caddy delivers affordable & reliable media

while features like time lapse, pre-roll cache & 4K/HD

simultaneous recording make this the perfect choice

for Event professionals. Our open approach with

media means you record up to 2.5 hours of 4K 30p or

5 hours of 1080p60 onto a single 1TB SSD, keeping

media costs low. You can also link the two channels to

utilize continuous r

ecording. The Shogun Studio has

the ability to then monitor the input, view waveforms/

scopes, setup complex time lapses and simultaneously

record a proxy - under pinned with the safe guard of

pr

e-roll cache recording (8 sec for HD / 2 sec for 4K) to

ensure you never miss the action. You can even record

presentations from PC, MAC and Mobile devices.

SECURITY

In security applications a wide angle lens on a 4K

camera can mean a single camera replaces the

equivalent of 4 x HD cameras. The Shogun Studio,

with its long record time, time lapse and monitor zoom

capability makes it the perfect weapon for 4K security

applications. In ProRes LT at 25 FPS the Shogun

Studio can record 6 hours of Ultra High Definition 4K

per channel, this not only provides superior resolution

but also an increase in the number of frames captured

per second providing a more finite approach to high

resolution security recording. In applications where

the additional frames aren’t important, the timelapse

functionality can be set up to record specific frames

at specific points over a specified duration. All of this

can be reviewed on the dual 7.1” Full HD monitors and

easily zoomed in for closer inspection of areas

of interest.
