Atomos Shogun update delivers new features and performance

For a video recorder, the Atomos Shogun is one sexy beast. And with the popularity of the Sony A7S amongst indie filmmakers, the Shogun has become a "must-have" device for A7S users who want to go beyond HD. (Who doesn't?) Armed with a Shogun and A7S, a filmmaker can capture 4K ProRes 10-bit files while viewing them on a large 1920 x 1200 high-pixel density LCD monitor, making the compact $2,500 camera a serious video camera. Press Release Melbourne, Australia – 19th March, 2015: In the space of only 3 months, the Atomos Shogun has quickly cemented itself as the indispensable tool for filmmakers.
