The ATOMOS - Remote app provides external controls for ATOMOS devices including the Shogun, Shogun Ultra, Shogun CONNECT as well as all NINJA V equipped with the ATOMOS CONNECT accessory or an AtomX SYNC module. The app communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth LE to perform remote configuration and operation tasks. Input options let you select connection type, select gamma/EOTF, and adjust gamut settings. For monitoring, AtomRemote can control playback, select dynamic-range settings, apply custom 3-D LUTs, and use default color-space transformations. Output controls provide options for 4K-to-HD downconversion and HDR output. In addition to starting and stopping a recording, AtomRemote can activate a full suite of image-analysis tools, including exposure and focus assistance. Being able to adjust these settings remotely is ideal for situations where it is difficult or unsafe to access your rig, such as when it is mounted out of reach as part of a “crash cam" setup or on a gimbal or stabilizer.
