Recording Apple ProRes RAW on Panasonic EVA1 with Atomos Shogun Inferno

1. Panasonic EVA1 can output 10-bit Log-encoded RAW data in 5.7K up to 30 fps, 4K up to 60 fps, and 2K up to 240 fps. Atomos Shogun Inferno can record these formats in Apple ProRes RAW HQ or ProRes RAW. Shown on the monitors: AbelCine’s new Industry City headquarters in Brooklyn, NY.
- 2. AbelCine’s Cameo Swivel Mount (CAM-076-200) is a compact, solid way to attach Shogun Inferno RAW Recorder/Monitor to Panasonic EVA1.
- 3. On the EVA1, select: MENU > SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM MODE > SDI RAW. We chose S35 5.7K. The EVA1 is now outputting 5.7K RAW data out of the SDI port.
- 4. On the Atomos Shogun Inferno, we see ProRes RAW HQ as our recording format, and we have 14:05 remaining. ProRes RAW comes two variants, ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ. They are variable compression rates, so run times are approximate.
- 5. Shogun Monitor settings, dynamic range, HDR, etc. Set TRIGGER ON to record when you start camera.
- 6. Importing ProRes RAW media into Apple Final Cut Pro X.
- 7. Atomos provides a proper conversion LUT for Panasonic RAW to V-Log for use in FCPX: atomos.com/firmware/shogun-inferno The VariCam Library LUTs can also be used in FCPX.
