Atomos announces Shogun AV-19, a rack-mountable, 19-inch 4K HDR monitor-recorder-switcher designed for professional live production, broadcast, and video village environments. Combining multi-camera switching, ISO recording, and advanced monitoring in a rugged, rack-ready 7RU form factor, Shogun AV-19 is designed as a complete “Monitor-Record-Switch” package for studio and outside broadcast workflows.
Designed to be flight-cased or deployed in live event racks, Shogun AV-19 is capable of simultaneous recording of up to four isolated SDI camera feeds plus a fifth program output. The large, color-accurate 4K HDR, DCI-P3 display provides real-time monitoring for directors, technical directors, camera operators, and production teams managing complex multi-camera setups.
“Shogun AV-19 is built to be the go-to versatile, rack-mountable monitor-recorder-switcher for modern live production,” says Peter Barber, Atomos CEO. “From quad-channel ISO recording and live switching to industry-standard codecs and NDI® HX3 connectivity, it delivers the performance, reliability, and flexibility professionals need for fast-paced broadcast and event environments. And it can be easily fitted into broadcast racks or road cased for OB or film production.”
Shogun AV-19 supports recording in Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW, and Avid DNx codecs from SDI or HDMI sources, enabling immediate post-event turnaround with up to 10-bit 4:2:2 quality and resolutions up to 8Kp60. Media can be captured internally to CFexpress cards or externally via high-speed USB-C storage, offering versatile options for high-data-rate workflows.
Built for mission-critical use, Shogun AV-19 also serves as a secure backup recorder for redundancy, an instant review station for directors and clients, and confidence monitor. Built-in Atomos monitoring tools include EL Zone false color, focus peaking, waveform, Log-to-LUT viewing, frame guides, safe areas, anamorphic de-squeeze, HDR-to-Rec.709 conversion, and quad-view monitoring.
Connectivity is further expanded with NDI HX3 send and receive, allowing broadcast-quality video, audio, and metadata to be sent over a single standard Ethernet cable for remote and mobile production workflows. Two full-size XLR inputs with 48V phantom power provide professional balanced audio recording, complete with dedicated meters, gain control, and frame-accurate audio delay.
“Housed in a rugged, 19-inch rack-mount chassis and featuring user-definable function buttons for instant access to critical tools, Shogun AV-19 is engineered to be the centerpiece of modern live production, studio, and outside broadcast systems,” the announcement concludes.
