Atomos Ninja RAW - 5-inch

ProRes RAW is a video codec developed by Apple that combines the flexibility of RAW video with the performance of ProRes. It preserves more image data than compressed formats, offering greater latitude for color grading and image manipulation in post-production.

The Atomos Ninja RAW is designed for high-speed recording. While it supports external USB media, CFexpress Type B cards are recommended for optimal performance, especially for ProRes RAW and high frame rate recordings. Standard SD cards are generally not suitable for these demanding formats.

Firmware updates are typically downloaded from the Atomos website. You will need to transfer the update file to a formatted USB drive and then insert it into the Ninja RAW to initiate the update process via the device's menu.
