HDR Processing

Daylight-Viewable LCD Screen

The bright 1200 cd/m² display means you can accurately monitor SDR signals, even when outside in full daylight.

X-Rite Calibration

Calibrate the Atomos Sumo to compensate for the natural colour and brightness drift that monitors exhibit over time. The Sumo’s calibration input lets you use X-Rite’s separately available i1Display Pro to always ensure accurate HDR and REC. 709 monitoring.

Continuous Power

Finally, dual 4-pin XLR inputs for power means that the Sumo can automatically switch power sources should one stop providing power. A power bracket supplies the Sumo with power from V-Mount batteries. When one battery dries up, you can hot-swap it for a fresh one without interrupting the shoot.
