ATOMOS vs AraRemote

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.

iPhones with LiDAR sensors only. You also need a Mac on the same Wi-Fi running Ara. Ara Remote is the phone half of Ara, a visual instrument for live shows. Aim it at whoever is performing. It sends three things to the Mac: the camera image, a LiDAR depth map, and a cut-out of the person, all worked out on the phone. Ara's shaders read all three. A dancer can drag a sand dune around, block a beam of light, or come apart into a point cloud — off the real body in the room, not a video layer sitting on top of one. • Depth, matte and camera from one phone. No sensor rig, no calibration. • A matte that holds up on a dark stage. Cut-outs made from the picture alone fall apart once the lights drop. This one leans on the LiDAR when there's nothing left to see. • Straight to your Mac over local Wi-Fi. It finds Ara on its own. • Quality steps down under load so the frame rate doesn't. • Landscape layout and a dimmable screen, for a phone clamped to a stand for three hours. • Readouts for throughput, frame timing, battery and heat, so you see trouble before the room does. Nothing leaves your network. No servers, no account, no analytics. The video goes to your Mac and stops there. Ara for macOS is a separate purchase from arastudio.au.
