Shogun preserves the pristine uncompressed video quality from your camera’s
sensor by directly encoding it into Apple ProRes® or (optionally) Avid DNxHD®.
It records to HDD/SSD using the exFAT le system making it instantly compatible with
your NLE timeline. The Shogun’s revolutionary ‘Sensor-to-NLE’ workow is the fastest
and best quality available today!
With the plummeting price of hard disk storage, the 2½” disks used by the Shogun are
very cheap; the cost of storage is no longer an issue. Buying a disk for the Shogun
is just like buying a tape – except that with a disk you will have instant “non-linear”
access to your video.
The Shogun’s one-touch IPS ‘SuperAtom’ screen interface is intuitive and simple to
use. There are no complicated menus or difcult to nd functions – everything you
need is instantly accessible from the home screen. Refer to ‘Using your Shogun’ for
more information.
Software updates for your Shogun will be issued regularly. Registering your Shogun
now will ensure you are kept abreast of any updates.
