AtomOS 10.83.00 Firmware Release Notes

SHOGUN CONNECT

Important Note:

In order to record RAW from either the Fujifilm X-H2, 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 SHOGUN CONNECT 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 ATOMSGC.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 SHOGUN CONNECT.
5. Power on the SHOGUN CONNECT and the firmware update process will begin automatically.
6. If your SHOGUN CONNECT is already powered on, you will be prompted to perform the firmware update when a drive containing new firmware is inserted.
7. Once the update is complete, your SHOGUN CONNECT will power itself down.
8. Power your SHOGUN CONNECT back on.
9. 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 SHOGUN CONNECT, the unit reboots to update the hardware modules. Do not interrupt the firmware installation process.

• Resolved an issue where the 4.3K RAW output signals from the Sony Alpha 1 weren't recorded and displayed correctly.
• Resolved an issue in playback mode, where image artifacts were occasionally noticeable when reviewing ProRes RAW footage.
• Improved overall ProRes RAW recording stability.
• 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.
• When recording ProRes RAW from the X-H2, there is a 36px thick black line on the right edge of the frame.
• Enabling Wi-Fi may be intermittent. A dialogue message may suggest a system reboot to fix.
• WFM monitor tool is not available for 8kp30 and 6Kp60 RAW inputs.
• Changing resolutions and frame rate when Live Streaming mode is enabled may result in the stream stopping. Switching between Record and Playback mode will allow for Stream to restart. Press LIVE button to stop stream before changing inputs, resolutions or frame rates.
• 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 SHOGUN CONNECT in ProRes RAW mode will work as expected.
• Network Record Control is not available when H.265 is selected as the record format.
• If switching between different camera models whilst HDMI Compatibility mode is selected, ensure that you reboot the SHOGUN CONNECT before connecting a new camera.
