Product Feature

• Records from the Sensor: Samurai Blade records directly from the sensor to 10-bit, 4:2:2 Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD, bypassing a major round of compression and data loss
• AtomOS 5.0 Capacitive Touchscreen OS: Blade's operating system, AtomOS, manages recording, playback, monitoring and simple cut and tag editing via a capacitive touchscreen. New to AtomOS 5.0 is Alpha Channel, Transparency support, full Waveform RGB and Luma Parade and Vectorscope with zoom
• Cut and Tag: AtomOS 5.0 lets you rough cut your footage, tag it as Favorite or Reject and then save it as a project to be finished and polished in the studio. You can cut and tag short and long clips with transport controls and finite frame-by-frame accurate stepping
• Synced REC Trigger and Timecode: Blade provides frame accurate timecode and start stop triggers over both SDI and HDMI (via HDMI converter) from almost all cameras, including Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon, JVC, RED and ARRI
• 10-Bit 4:2:2 Quality: Blade bypasses 8-bit and records 10-bit color registries for better compatibility with 12-bit or higher graphics inserted on your NLE timeline

Product Description

The Atomos Samurai Blade 5" Hi-Res SDI Monitor & Recorder features a 1280 x 720 resolution monitoring display, substantially better than that of the original Samurai's. Like the original, Blade can record up to 1080/30p/60i resolution directly from your camera's sensor to an HDD or SSD in Apple's ProRes or Avid's DNxHD edit-ready codecs. Color precision records at a high 10-bit, even from an 8-bit sensor and color sampling at 4:2:2. Recording an 8-bit signal in 10-bit won't increase the quality of the signal but will let you work with the signal in post-production as if it's 10-bit, meaning you can add effects and not see jagged lines and other artifacts. Being able to record direct from the sensor lets you bypass your camera's compression and instead have the first compression be in an edit-ready codec. Generally, the less compressions, the less image degradation. Blade has an SDI input for ingesting from a camera and an SDI loop-output for simultaneously looping out the camera signal to a large SDI monitor up to 300 ft away. You can also ingest by HDMI through an optional Atomos SDI to HDMI converter. Blade supports all cameras for monitoring, even 4K and 5K cameras like RED's Epic and ARRI's Alexa and can successfully record 1080/30p/60i from most cameras. Blade's display is capacitive touchscreen, meaning intuitive to human touch but unresponsive to the touch of an object, such as a pen and therefore safe against accidental contact with objects.

Atomos Samurai Blade 5" Hi-Res SDI Monitor & Recorder, 1280x720 Resolution Review

It's a beautiful monitor
As for the recorder not so great with my 5dmkiii
From my usage with the H2S converter the footage was actually better from the 5d.
Also the hdmi signal out of any camera is interlaced so this is technically an interlaced signal trying to be changed to progressive. But when you move the camera in any sort of abrupt move you will see the fake progressiveness shine... Also you are not going to get a 422 out of a 420 signal. No matter what anyone may tell you.
I returned mine. But the monitor was phenomenal and with the wave form and peaking made that much harder to return. Buy when the cost of all the parts added up to 1700. Not that hard to part with.. If you have a sdi cam and want a nice monitor then this may be for you but if you have hdmi then pass it by.
