Important Note:

In order to record RAW from either the Sony ILME-FX30 or the Sony ILME-FR7, ProRes RAW needs to be activated via the My Atomos portal.

Installation Note:

Atomos recommends that your Ninja V is plugged into mains power before commencing the firmware update.

1. Insert a compatible, formatted HDD/SSD into the Docking Station.
2. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the ATOMNJV.FW file to the root of the HDD/SSD.
3. Eject the HDD/SSD (according to operating system guidelines).
4. Insert the HDD/SSD into the Ninja V.
5. If you have Atomos Connect Module ensure this is connected to your device before powering on, as the module firmware will also need to be updated as part of this FW release.
6. Power on the Ninja V and the firmware update process will begin automatically.
7. If your Ninja V is already powered on, you will be prompted to perform the firmware update when a drive containing new firmware is inserted.
8. Once the update is complete, your Ninja V will power itself down.
9. Power your Ninja V back on and the device will automatically start updating the Atomos Connect module.
10. To verify if the firmware update was successfully completed, navigate to the main menu and scroll to the info tab.

Note: Once firmware 10.83.00 is successfully installed on the Ninja V, the unit reboots to update the ATOMOS CONNECT firmware. Do not interrupt the firmware installation process.

Bug Fixes and Improvements:

• Resolved a stability issue that was caused by outputting a 6K RAW signal from Z CAM E2-F6/S6 cameras to the Ninja V.
• Resolved an issue where 4Kp50/60 YCC video input signals from the JVC GY-LS300 were captured with incorrect colors.
• Resolved an issue where the 4.3K RAW output signals from the Sony Alpha 1 weren't recorded and displayed correctly.
• Improved Audio/Video Sync when streaming live to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc.
• Being disconnected from WiFi/Ethernet is now reflected in the Cloud Connection Status in the Connect menu.
• WiFi passwords and previous Atomos Cloud pairings are kept after updating to the latest firmware.
• WiFi signal strength now gets displayed more accurately.

Known Limitations to be resolved in future releases:

• It may take up to 10 seconds for Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections to re-established when users switch between record and playback mode. Please allow the system time to automatically reconnect to your network.
• In this release, recording ProRes RAW from the Sony FX30, the recorded clips will have a .1% metadata crop from the camera's output resolution of 4672 x 2628 to 4648 x 2616 pixels to match the display resolution.
• Enabling Wi-Fi may be intermittent. A dialogue message may suggest a system reboot to fix.
• Live Streaming is only available when using standard YCC 422 video inputs, and when the record codec is set to either ProRes or DNx. If ProRes RAW or H.265 are selected as the record codec, streaming isn't available.
• If the user boots into ProRes RAW recording mode with a YCC SDI Input, the monitoring image may be incorrect. Monitoring and Recording whilst outputting a RAW signal to the Ninja V in ProRes RAW mode will work as expected.
• Network Record Control is not available when H.265 is selected as the record format when using the AtomX SYNC Module or Atomos CONNECT accessory.
• If switching between different camera models whilst HDMI Compatibility mode is selected, ensure that you reboot the Ninja V before connecting a new camera.
