AtomX Cast is an accessory that fits onto the back of a Ninja and turns it into a fully functional stand-alone switcher, multiview monitor and broadcast quality recorder. Furthermore, it doesn’t require a computer to function. Using the Ninja’s high quality 5-inch HDR touchscreen monitor, it adds 4 x HDMI inputs and physical buttons, to make the ultimate portable live switching and streaming solution. AtomX Cast works with Ninja, Ninja Ultra, Ninja V and Ninja V+.

Switch. Stream. Simple.
The flexible control options of a Ninja fitted with AtomX Cast allow you to use either the touchscreen or the physical buttons to switch between HDMI sources to select the output for your webcast. The illuminated buttons for each input and colored LED lighting for Program and Preview status further simplifies operation and allows you to easily switch and livestream, even in dimly lit environments.

Your brand, video and reach.Enhanced.
Sophisticated features like logos, mast head graphics and lower third titles will make your productions look incredible, and the dedicated controls for these functions make them easy to use. Add custom graphics for branding your content, with support for transparency, sponsors’ logos and other on-screen information to your production and configure the layout on the Ninja touchscreen.

Two inputs. One moment.
One of the benefits of using Ninja and AtomX Cast in a multi-camera setup is that you can use the Picture-in-Picture function to display two inputs at the same time. Any of the four HDMI inputs can be used for a Picture-in-Picture effect over the Program output with controls for size and location of the overlaid image. You can display a close-up of a product on your desk and add your face as a Picture-in-Picture at the same time while you talk about the product.

Versatile. Configurable. Adaptable.
As AtomX Cast is so compact and versatile, you can just as easily work alone or with a team. Solo operators can transport the equipment in a small backpack and then use it discreetly with compact mirrorless cameras for productions of any size. For larger setups, the Ninja HDMI output can be used as a secondary output that can be set up as a duplicate Program out, to preview monitoring for the crew or talent, or to connect to a larger multiview display.

Dedicated external video processor
AtomX Cast connected to a Ninja takes the load off your computer by processing video externally, reducing the risk of broadcast interruption due to software crashes or system overload. Simply add the Ninja/AtomX Cast combo as a media source in OBS, X-Split and vMix to make use of the software application’s additional graphics and scene configuration while using the AtomX Cast for video input switching.

Stand out from the crowd
Using a Ninja and AtomX Cast with any camera that has a clean HDMI output, with your choice of lens, allows you to bring professional production values to any online video stream or meeting. Adding a cinematic look can boost the image and impact of your message, and put your productions head and shoulders above the average webcam event. Using the Ninja to check your light, camera angles and sound, will all help you to make professional quality video productions. Many older HD camcorder or photo cameras can output great looking video via its HDMI port, bringing new life to camera equipment you may already own.

Broadcast Quality
With professional 10-bit 4:2:2 inputs, you get broadcast quality switching and the ability to record in broadcast quality codecs like Apple ProRes or Avid DNx. AtomX Cast can deliver to a worldwide audience by sending a stream to your favourite streaming host, output a broadcast quality video signal to a local display, digital signage or video wall, and record with high quality edit-ready video codecs.
