Atomos Ninja TX | A New Era in Monitor-Recorder Technology

Atomos Ninja TX
A New Era in Monitor-Recorder Technology

In the fast-paced world of video production, where workflows are growing increasingly mobile, cloud-centric, and resolution-hungry, Atomos has delivered a product that not only meets the demands of today’s creators but actively anticipates the needs of tomorrow. The Atomos Ninja TX is the culmination of years of refinement, a Wi-Fi-enabled, 5-inch HDR monitor-recorder that blends power, connectivity, and versatility in a single compact unit. From 8K ProRes RAW recording to direct-to-cloud uploads and NDI streaming over Wi-Fi 6E, the Ninja TX represents the next generation of portable production tools.

A Compact Powerhouse
At the heart of the Ninja TX is a stunningly bright, 1500nit 5-inch touchscreen display, which is now 50% brighter than before. Designed for field use, it delivers full 10-bit HDR accuracy, allowing professionals to monitor their footage in vivid, reliable colour, even under harsh sunlight. However, this is not just a viewing tool; it’s a production-grade recorder that captures in Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW, Avid DNx, and H.265/H.264 formats. Whether you're working in cinema production, broadcast, or content creation, the Ninja TX adapts to your workflow.

Behind that display lies a technical beast. The device supports capture of up to 8K RAW footage, recorded directly to CFexpress Type B media or external USB-C storage. Thanks to the use of PCIe and NVMe technologies, the Ninja TX guarantees blistering write speeds and futureproof flexibility. In addition, the unit includes both HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI inputs and outputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional and consumer cameras alike.

Streamlined Cloud Connectivity
Where the Ninja TX really sets itself apart however, is in its seamless integration with modern, cloud-based workflows. Built-in Wi-Fi 6E transforms this monitor-recorder into a fully connected, cloud-first device. Atomos’ Camera to Cloud (C2C) functionality is baked in from the outset. This revolutionary workflow allows users to upload video files directly from set to the cloud, bypassing traditional drive handling and enabling real-time collaboration with editors, producers, and clients across the globe.

Users can upload directly to ATOMOSphere, Atomos’ own cloud platform, as well as Adobe Frame.io and Dropbox. With 20GB of free cloud storage included via ATOMOSphere, creators can begin working this way right out of the box. Whether you’re a filmmaker working on location or a live events team operating on tight schedules, the benefits in time savings and efficiency are immediate.

Built-in NDI 6 Streaming
In addition to cloud workflows, the Ninja TX embraces the world of IP-based video. With full support for NDI 6 and HX3 protocols, it can send or receive high-quality, low-latency video over standard networks. Unlike conventional NDI transmitters that require additional accessories or encoders, the Ninja TX does it all internally. It can operate as both a source and a receiver, integrating easily into multi-camera live productions, remote interviews, and hybrid broadcast environments.

This makes the Ninja TX an incredibly powerful tool for content producers working across varied scenarios, from live streaming church services and concerts to managing remote studio setups.

Timecode and Sync, Simplified
Syncing devices on set is essential for multi-camera shoots and complex productions. The Ninja TX includes support for AirGlu timecode via both RF and Bluetooth, allowing it to act as a powerful timecode hub. This ensures perfect synchronisation across cameras, audio recorders, and other field devices, crucial for speeding up post-production workflows and maintaining continuity in multicam edits.

Built on AtomOS
All of this is powered by AtomOS, now built on a Linux-based core. This operating system is faster, more robust, and more flexible than ever before. It supports multi-threaded operations and allows for future updates that can unlock even more capability, including expanded audio support, advanced metadata workflows, and device interoperability. The responsive UI and enhanced stability of the platform further elevate the Ninja TX experience.

Designed for the Future
The Ninja TX is as forward-thinking in its hardware as it is in its software. It features three USB-C ports, one dedicated to power and two for peripherals, including direct-attached storage, screen calibration tools, and (in future updates) audio interfaces. It can be powered via USB-C, standard NP-F batteries, or a mains adaptor, offering full flexibility for studio or field use.

Every design choice here speaks to futureproofing. The inclusion of USB-C, CFexpress, NDI, and Wi-Fi 6E means the Ninja TX is already in step with emerging standards. You’re not investing in a piece of kit that will be outdated next year, you’re stepping into a toolset built for what's next.

The Best Ninja Yet?
It would be no exaggeration to call the Ninja TX the most complete monitor-recorder Atomos has ever produced. It bridges the gap between high-end field recording and cutting-edge cloud connectivity. It integrates seamlessly into both traditional SDI/HDMI pipelines and modern IP and C2C ecosystems. It’s a compact monitor, a high-resolution recorder, a wireless transmitter, and a cloud connector all rolled into one.

For solo shooters, it simplifies the production process. For teams, it unlocks collaborative workflows that were once reserved for high-budget environments. And for live event professionals, it offers unmatched flexibility in distribution, recording, and monitoring.
The Ninja TX isn’t just a step forward; it’s a decisive leap into a more connected, efficient, and creative future for video production. Whether you're shooting 8K cinema RAW, managing a multi-cam stream, or simply tired of running back and forth with hard drives, the Atomos Ninja TX is designed to change the way you work, forever.
