Atomos has taken a significant leap into the post-production realm with the introduction of its first reference-grade monitor, the Studio Pro 2710. This new 27-inch 4K UHD OLED display promises exceptional color fidelity at a more accessible price point, targeting professionals like colorists and editors who have traditionally been limited by the cost and size of high-end grading displays. Alongside this, Atomos has announced updates to its Ninja TX, the introduction of the Shinobi 7 RX, and expanded compatibility for the Ninja Phone.
For years, Atomos has been synonymous with on-camera monitor-recorders. However, the Studio Pro 2710 marks a strategic expansion into post-production, described by the company as a “technology preview.” The monitor is designed for those requiring precise reference accuracy without the prohibitive costs typically associated with such technology.
Studio Pro 2710: Rethinking Reference Monitoring
Traditional reference monitors often carry price tags between $30,000 and $40,000 and occupy significant desk space. In contrast, Atomos positions the Studio Pro 2710 at under $10,000, incorporating features usually reserved for high-end post-production facilities.
Central to the Studio Pro 2710 is a vertically aligned OLED subpixel structure, which addresses common QD-OLED issues like color fringing and fine-detail distortion. This design ensures sharper rendering of edges, text, and fine detail, maintaining precision across the entire frame.
Color management is achieved through true 33³ 3D LUTs with tetrahedral interpolation, ensuring smooth tonal transitions and gradients. A patent-pending LUT preview interface allows users to interactively visualize LUTs in real-time, making color transforms an integral part of the grading process.
Calibration-First Design and Environment Control
Atomos extends its commitment to accuracy beyond the display panel with a patent-pending sensor-calibrated surround lighting system. This system, integrated into the back of the monitor, calibrates both the screen and the grading environment, ensuring ambient light matches reference standards. Additionally, a color-calibrated work light is built in, useful for scripts or grading consoles.
Calibration is further supported by the new Atomos Studio K-100 spectral probe, which can be utilized across multiple monitors and locations, allowing distributed teams to view identical images. Factory presets are available for immediate use, with options for on-site recalibration.
Workflow-Ready Connectivity
The Studio Pro 2710 is equipped to handle both HDR and SDR workflows with its 4K UHD resolution. Connectivity options include 12G-SDI, HDMI, and network inputs, making it suitable for both traditional facilities and modern cloud-based pipelines. The monitor is compatible with Atomosphere, Frame.io, and Grass Valley AMP out-of-the-box.
Additional workflow enhancements include front-facing I/O, four USB-C ports for peripherals and calibration probes, and a touchpad-driven interface inspired by mobile devices. Internally, a next-generation FPGA processor ensures pixel-level precision without compromise.
Expanding the Atomos Ecosystem
The announcement of the Studio Pro 2710 is part of a broader strategy by Atomos to expand its ecosystem. The Ninja TX, a flagship monitor-recorder, now supports up to 8K ProRes RAW capture over SDI and HDMI, with full ProRes RAW support in DaVinci Resolve. An upcoming update will add camera control capabilities, showcased in beta at IBC.
Meanwhile, the Shinobi 7 RX enhances Atomos’ monitoring line. This 7-inch, 2200-nit HDR display offers touchscreen camera control, SDI/HDMI inputs, and integrated Wi-Fi, suitable for on-camera monitoring or as part of a wireless video workflow.
The Ninja Phone, initially launched to connect high-end iPhones for ProRes capture, now supports all iOS 18-compatible iPhones and iPads, including older Lightning-based models. This expansion opens the device to a broader user base, integrating mobile workflows with mirrorless and cinema cameras.
