    Great Multi Solution

    By Jason
    Rated 5 out of 5
    Date: 2023-06-28

    I run tech at a TV Studio and do a great deal of freelance work It not only serves as a recorder, color correct monitor, client review monitor BUT I also put it in line as a switcher for livestreams Great product There are points to improve, but still fantastic

    Really good, has a lot of features, not truly color accurate

    By Tim

    We wanted to refresh our broadcast-grade monitors so naturally to say I was excited when I saw there was a refresh of this model at NAB. For what this monitor can do, there's not much competition. The fact it can take 4 SDI's in (only one 4k feed, FYI) is fantastic. Audio speaker is a nice touch. Clients love seeing this monitor and I finally do not have to worry when they touch the screen! With that, the colors on this monitor are not great for color grading our broadcast cameras. I will have to get a different monitor for this task. But for just a general large screen production monitor with a ton of features, I'm pretty happy with it. I was going to buy a few of them but I'm happy with one.

    Super Sumo

    I've been looking for a larger high quality field monitor for a while and this Sumo SE ticked all the boxes. The image and build quality are superb. It offers quad view so I can see 4 cameras at one time. You can also record 4 separate streams and switching signal as well on an SSD drive. It ships with the bat wings enabling it to run on battery power in the field which is great for remote setups. The price for this 19 monitor and the quality gives you is very competitive.

    Beware if using HDMI

    I've used these a lot before I bought. But I just learned that you can only display more than one source (like in quad view) if they are all SDI. I wanted to be able to do this with one source HDMI. Not sure you can record HDMI and SDI sources simultaneously. Check into it first if that's important to you.

    Yikes! Unforgivable Color

    By Fergus
    Rated 1 out of 5
    Date: 2022-11-01

    I wanted to believe that other reviewers reporting an orange tint just got bad units due to poor QC - I don't think so. Our unit is about 1,000k too warm - it's very noticeable. According to other reviewers color calibration can't fix the problem - we aren't waiting around to try and fix it ourselves. How does a brand like Atomos deliver a product with such inaccurate color to market? I don't expect anything close to perfection in this price range - but I do expect some semblance of accuracy. The image accuracy is much worse than some no-name brands at 1/3 the cost. Why would I ever trust an Atomos product again?

    Initially wrote a one star review for the massive orange cast to the image. Atomos reached out and sent me a calibration cable to use with our spectrometer. After calibration, it's much improved and I have no qualms with it. It performs as it should and is a great addition to our arsenal. Great picture, false color, zebras, LUTs, and all the other doodads, and I really like the ability to use this thing as a backup recorder. Yes, you have to dumb-down your 4k to 1080, but if something goes sideways, 1080 is better than 0.

    What is the record duration for 4 simultaneous ProRes RAW 4k inputs at 24p? And 60p? Use a 1tb SSD for an example please. I also want to confirm this can record four simultaneous 4k inputs.... Not just four 1080p simultaneous inputs.
    Asked by: Brandon
    I estimate that the Atomos Sumo 19" SE HDR Monitor, Recorder, and Switcher would fill up a 1TB SSD in 55 minutes when shooting 4k ProRes Raw at 24p and it would fill 1TB in around 20 minutes at 60p.

    I can't figure out how to adjust the brightness or backlight of this monitor? It's SO bright in a dark edit bay.
    Asked by: Kevin
    In the Atomos SUMO manual Page 32 when in REC 709 mode you will have access to Brightness controls. See P32 https://bit.ly/3USfXsl With this mode selected you have the option to change the screen brightness by adjusting the slider. As you slide to the right the brightness will increase and when at 100% the image will be using the full 1200 NITs of the display. As with any electronic screen device increasing the brightness will increase the power draw and battery life will be affected accordingly.
