Atomos SUMO 19 SE: 2K HDR preview monitor, 4K recorder and live switcher

[10:57 Sun,17.July 2022 by Thomas Richter]

Atomos has rather quietly released a new version of its 2017 recorder/HDR monitor/live switch SUMO 19, which replaces the old model. The new features of the SUMO 19 SE compared to the previous model mainly concern the interfaces and the 19" 1080p touch display. For example, the SuperAtom IPS panel with 10-bit color depth (8-bit plus FRC) now features a new Quantum Dot instead of an Edge Lit backlight (maximum brightness remains 1,200 nits), and the SUMO 19 SE&s input has been upgraded from two 3G and 12G SDI ports each to four 12G SDI ports.

The other functions remain unchanged, so the SUMO 19 SE also acts as an HDR monitor, can record video as Apple ProResRAW at 6Kp30 4Kp60, DCI/UHD and 2Kp240 DCI/HD (alternatively CinemaDNG at up to 4Kp30 DCI) via HDMI or SDI, and can also be used to switch (hard cuts and fades) and record four ISO streams plus program channel at up to 1080p60 using its four independent inputs. The Atomos SUMO 19SE is compatible with Sony FS series cameras, Canon C300MKII/C500, Panasonic EVA-1/Varicam LT and others. The SDI and HDMI inputs also provide cross-conversion of signals with 4K>HD down-conversion options.

Using two V-Lock /Anton Bauer rechargeable batteries, the SUMO 19 can also be mobile, and can thus be used on set as a highly variable monitor including LUT preview, also offering some measurement tools such as vectorscope or wafeform monitor. The full size XLR connectors with 48 V phantom power allow the connection of two external microphones with balanced analog audio recording and monitoring. Microphone or line-level audio can be seamlessly synchronized with embedded audio from HDMI and SDI sources.

The shock-resistant aluminum chassis has screw holes all around for mounting accessories or to screw the SUMO itself to other equipment, as well as a VESA mount.

The 5.45 kg Atomos SUMO 19 SE is available in stores for around 2,375 euros.
