Atomos Ninja Phone 10-Bit Recorder/Streamer Base for iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max

About: Atomos Ninja Phone 10-Bit Recorder/Streamer Base for iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max

Now your phone can be a Ninja too with the Atomos Ninja Phone. Turn your smartphone into a high‑end 10‑bit recorder, monitor and streamer for your pro HDMI video camera

The ultimate smartphone accessory

Today’s smartphones are technological marvels, with amazing displays, cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6E and 5G connectivity. But how do you connect your pro camera? With Ninja Phone! Attach it to a compatible smartphone, plug in an HDMI-equipped camera, install the app, and you’re Ninja’d up and ready to go!

Ninja Phone turns your smartphone into a high‑end 10‑bit recorder, monitor and streamer for your professional video camera or other HDMI‑equipped device.

How does it work?

Ninja Phone takes any HDMI video signal and instantaneously converts it into a high-quality video file format. This video data is then transferred in real-time to USB-C equipped smartphones and tablets, turning them into professional low-latency video monitors, recorders, and live streamers.

It’s ideal for professional filmmakers, social media content creators, and a wide range of applications like gaming where you need to record or stream a video source without a computer. It also sets you up for hyper-efficient camera-to-cloud workflows.

Monitor, record and stream with ease

• MONITOR - Make your phone display a pro video monitor
  • Turn your smartphone into a top-notch HDR monitor. Connect your camera, and you have access to some of the world’s best portable displays. Atomos’ Ninja Phone app adds a host of professional monitoring tools and even adapts to vertical orientation. Today’s smartphone displays are incredible OLED devices with extraordinary 2,000,000:1 contrast ratios, 460ppi resolution and, with Ninja Phone, the ability to display the output from any HDMI-equipped camera.
• RECORD - Capture 10-bit video from any HDMI camera
  • Ninja Phone is the only way to connect professional cameras with HDMI to a compatible smartphone and record directly into 10-bit Apple ProRes*, the absolute standard for professional video production and post-production, or 10-bit H.265.

• STREAM - Send via 5G or Wi-Fi 6E to social platforms
  • You won’t find a more compact set-up for streaming professional-grade video directly from your camera. Ninja Phone and an iPhone Pro Max weigh only 335 grams, and the combination is packed with the latest technology, including pristine 10-bit, H.265 encoding, Wi-Fi 6E, and low-latency 5G for the ultimate in mobile live streaming.

A billion more colors and shadows

• Stunning, 10-bit, HDR pipeline
  • Atomos uses its unparalleled experience in video encoding to pass 10-bit, 1080P HDR video from your camera’s image sensor over HDMI to Ninja Phone, then through USB-C to your smartphone or tablet’s processor. The result is stunning, professional-quality images on your device’s incredible screen, with virtually no latency.
  • 10-bit video preserves massively more picture information, both in terms of color and brightness, than 8-bit formats. The number of colors goes from millions to billions and the detail within the brightness range – the highlights and shadows in the image – is more than 4 times that of 8-bit.
  • Today’s camera sensors all capture more than 10-bit, and all modern TVs, smartphones and tablets have advanced 10-bit HDR screens too, so with Ninja Phone you can deliver the best possible video quality on every shoot!
• 8-bit vs 10-bit
  • With Apple ProRes encoding, Ninja Phone sends 10-bit color and brightness information from your camera to your smartphone’s screen. Professionals demand 10-bit, because it shows accurate colors, highlights and shadows, and removes contours between similar colors. So, a blue sky looks real, or a candle looks vivid in the dark, with no washed-out painting-by-numbers pictures. With 8-bit, you’re throwing away the subtlety and nuance, often leaving visible steps and flat imagery that can’t be repaired in editing. We solve this problem by not causing it in the first place.
  • In the same way 10-bit video encoding and compression preserves color, it also preserves shadows and highlights to give depth and nuance in the image, just like our eyes can see. This is High Dynamic Range, or High Brightness Range. 10-bit gives a billion levels of shadows and highlights in an image, to recreate all the depth and reality of real life. All on your smartphone – and direct from your professional camera and lens.

Get the Ninja Phone App

Atomos isn’t new to touchscreens – the original Ninja had one. But smartphones take them to another level, so we’ve written an app to run natively on your smartphone that controls and configures your Ninja Phone. We’ve made it work the way you’ll want to use it – so if you’re shooting portrait vertical 9:16 video, the app goes vertical too. It’s easy to use in either Landscape or Portrait. It’s slick, responsive, and makes Ninja Phone and your smartphone feel like they’re a single, integrated device.

Super light, super silent

Ninja Phone is designed around AtomIC 5, the next generation of Atomos silicon that allows for low power, silent operation while encoding 10-bit ProRes and H.265 with exceptional USB-C connectivity. Drawing just 2.4W in full flight, Ninja Phone combined with your smartphone is silent in operation, even while performing complex video processing tasks. The powerful IC allows for a super lightweight footprint – Ninja Phone weighs in at just 94 grams!
