About the Atomos Ninja TX
Ninja TX combines SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs, Apple ProRes/RAW recording to ultra-fast CFexpress or external USB media, with a full suite of professional monitoring tools. It features built-in camera-to-cloud with free ATOMOSphere membership, supports NDI 6 streaming, and runs on the lightning-fast AtomOS Linux platform. No other monitor-recorder packs so much performance and compatibility into such a compact, connected device. Equipped with both 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0, in and out, Ninja TX is the first Atomos monitor-recorder to incorporate USB-C and ultra-fast CFexpress to record up to 8K RAW.
INTEGRATED C2C WI-FI CONNECTIVITY
Automatic camera-to-cloud uploading from Ninja TX to ATOMOSphere, Frame.io and Dropbox.
CFEXPRESS
Ninja TX takes performance to the next level with support for high-speed CFexpress Type B cards (sold separately) for faster read/write speeds, higher resolutions, and more reliable
recording — ideal for demanding workflows up to ProRes RAW 8Kp30.
MONITORING TOOLS
The world’s best professional, easy to use tools for focus, exposure & framing to get the perfect shot every time.
AIRGLU™
Integrated timecode sync over RF or Bluetooth ensures that all compatible devices—cameras, audio recorders, and monitors—are synchronized.
TOUCHSCREEN CONTROL
Easy to navigate and user-friendly interface for creators & filmmakers alike
1500 NIT HDR DISPLAY
See clearly in any light conditions
SDI/HDMI CROSS CONVERSION
Ninja TX converts from HDMI to SDI and vice versa.
12G-SDI IN & OUT
The addition of SDI means a wider range of cameras and production workflows is supported. Supports loop-through.
USB-C PD
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.
LOCKING CABLE ADAPTORS
Locking cable system to ensure a solid connection while you shoot
HDMI 2.0 IN & OUT
HDMI input supports 8K video up to 30fps, 4K up to 60fps and 1080p up to 120fps. Loop-through passes the incoming HDMI signal from the camera to another device, for example an external monitor, wireless transmitter or live streaming encoder.
USB-C PORTS
Ninja TX has two USB-C ports,enabling direct attachment of external storage media, and monitor calibration. Expect to see more features with future firmware updates.
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. Atomos supports direct progressive upload to Atomos’
own cloud platform – ATOMOSphere – as well Adobe Frame.io and Dropbox.
NDI 6 HX3 over Wi-Fi
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. Ninja TX 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 professional monitoring functionality you expect from an Atomos field monitor.
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.
More Cameras
When it comes to connectivity, there’s never been a more versatile Ninja. With HDMI 2.0 I/O and 12G-SDI I/O packed into a new, lightweight 5-inch screen form factor, Ninja TX has got all bases covered.
Brighter Display
With its bright 1500nit, 10-bit HDR touchscreen, Ninja TX provides rich, accurate colour with “what you see is what you get” precision, even in bright sunlight.
Next-gen media
CFexpress and USB-C support blazingly fast data transfer rates, based on PCIe and NVMe protocols—making Ninja TX scalable for future data needs.
Wireless C2C & NDI HX3
With integrated Wi-Fi you can upload your content directly to ATOMOSphere, Dropbox or Frame.io or, from anywhere in the world. Ninja TX streamlines the production workflow from capture to edit, helping creators to work faster and smarter.
Futureproof
USB-C is fast becoming the universal standard for connectivity. Ninja TX has not one but three USB-C ports – one for power and two for attaching direct storage, screen calibration devices and, with future firmware updates, audio devices and more!
