SDI CablesIf you are connecting via 6G or 12G SDI please ensure your cable supports the Belden 1694A standard.
SSD DrivesWe test and approve SSD drives from the world’s leading media brands. There are specific approved drives depending on the resolution and frame rate you are capturing – for the full list of compatible drives please refer to: www.atomos.com/drives
Synchronization ConnectionsThe Gen Lock and LTC 1/0 are connected via BNC and can use 75 Ohm cable.
Media
Widely available 2.5″ SSDs are the basic storage media for Atomos 4K Monitor Recorders. We work closely with leading drive manufacturers to qualify as many options as possible. SSDs are required for 4K recording and for more demanding production environments that may not be suited to spinning hard disks.
We have worked closely with leading media manufacturers to develop media designed specifically for the Atomos Ninja V, that with the addition of Atom SSD mini handles is 100% compatible with Shogun Studio 2. The Atom SSD mini is smaller than a standard SSD, but utilizes the same SATA connection as normal HDD/SSD media and is compatible with all Atomos recorders and docking stations. Atom SSD mini (with SSD mini Handle) fits directly into the Shogun Studio 2 disk slot without the need for a Master Caddy II.
For more information about supported drives and accessories, visit: www.atomos.com/drives
Assemble the Master CaddyPosition a Solid State Drive (SSD) into the Master Caddy. Assemble completely and align screw holes on all three pieces. Insert screws last. Do not over-tighten. For more detailed instructions please download the full Shogun Studio 2 User Manual.
Handle SSD with careAvoid contact with circuit board and connectors. Refer to media manufacturer’s manual for handling instructions.Format SSD With your chosen SSD inserted in to the Master Caddy or SSD mini with attached handle insert the drive into the channel you would like to operate. Note each drive slot corresponds to the monitor it is located beneath.
With the drive inserted you can touch the drive icon in the top right of the touch screen interface. Select to the format option to erase and prepare the drive for use. For drives that support secure erase an option will be available for this. It will take slightly longer to perform the format process and SSD will be reset to factory settings.
Important: Never remove the SSD whilst recording as this may cause data corruption.
Connect and power-up
We recommend that you connect Shogun Studio 2 directly to a reliable connection or via a power distribution unit / strip to an interruptible power supply in your rack. The Shogun Studio has 2 x AC inputs and we advise using both where possible.
Connecting Power-up and about PSUsThe rear bottom left hand side of the unit are located AC1 and AC2 inputs with IEC C14 sockets (see next page). Connect the provided power cables to the sockets and then connect to main power. The dual power supplies internally balance the power draw across both units and additionally allows for backup power if one of the power supplies fail. If a PSU does fail a warning screen will be displayed. To continue using the unit, activate single power supply mode by clicking OK. Once connected press the power button on the front of the unit and both recorder channels will power up.
Connection layoutLooking at Shogun Studio 2 from the front, recorder channel 1 is on the left and recorder channel 2 is on the right.
