FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and frame rate supported for recording?

The Sumo PRO-19 supports recording up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at various frame rates, including 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60fps, depending on the chosen codec and input signal.

Can I use regular external hard drives for recording?

The Sumo PRO-19 primarily supports recording to Atomos-approved CFexpress media or USB-C SSDs. While some USB-C HDDs might work, performance and reliability are best guaranteed with SSDs and CFexpress cards for high-bandwidth recording.

How do I update the firmware on the Sumo PRO-19?

Firmware updates are typically downloaded from the Atomos website and loaded onto a USB drive. The Sumo PRO-19 can then be updated via its USB port. Refer to the Atomos support site for specific instructions.

What is the advantage of recording in ProRes RAW?

ProRes RAW offers greater flexibility in post-production color grading by preserving more image data, including metadata from the camera's sensor. It allows for significant adjustments to exposure and white balance without introducing artifacts.

Does the unit support HDR monitoring standards?

Yes, the Sumo PRO-19 supports various HDR standards, including HLG and PQ (ST.2084), allowing for accurate monitoring of HDR content as it will be delivered.

What is the power consumption of the Sumo PRO-19?

The device typically consumes around 40-50W during operation, depending on screen brightness and connected interfaces. It can be powered via an AC adapter or compatible DC power sources.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on screen

Verify that the input source is correctly selected on the Sumo PRO-19. Check all cable connections between the camera and the monitor/recorder. Ensure the camera is outputting a signal and the correct resolution/frame rate is supported.

Recording fails or stops unexpectedly

Confirm that the CFexpress card or USB-C drive is formatted correctly and is on the Atomos-approved media list. Check if the drive has sufficient free space. Ensure the drive is properly inserted and not damaged. Update the device firmware.

Timecode sync issues

Ensure all devices are correctly paired via AirGlu RF or Bluetooth. Check that the timecode source is set appropriately on each camera and the Sumo PRO-19. Verify that all devices are set to the same timecode mode (e.g., 'Record Run').

Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection unstable

Restart the Sumo PRO-19 and your network router. Ensure you are within range of a stable Wi-Fi signal or that the Ethernet cable is securely connected. Check network settings and try re-establishing the connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your cameras via the SDI or HDMI inputs. Ensure proper cable connections for signal integrity. Insert a compatible CFexpress card or USB-C drive into the designated slot for recording. Power the unit using the provided adapter. Configure basic settings such as display profiles, input selection, and recording formats through the on-screen menus.

Care: Keep the screen clean using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly dampened cloth with water only; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure ventilation ports are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Store the unit in a protective case when not in use, especially during transport.
