Shogun AV-19 can be preordered now and is expected to ship end of March 2026.
Atomos has announced the launch of Shogun AV-19, a new 19-inch, rack-mountable 4K HDR monitor-recorder-switcher designed for professional live production, broadcast and video village environments. Built in a rugged 7RU form factor, the system combines multi-camera switching, ISO recording and advanced monitoring into a single solution aimed at studio and outside broadcast workflows.
Designed for use in flight cases or live event racks, Shogun AV-19 can simultaneously record up to four isolated SDI camera feeds along with a fifth programme output. Its large, colour-accurate 4K HDR display with DCI-P3 support enables clear, real-time monitoring for directors, technical teams and camera operators managing complex multi-camera productions.
Atomos CEO Peter Barber said: “Shogun AV-19 is built to be the go-to versatile, rack-mountable monitor-recorder-switcher for modern live production. From quad-channel ISO recording and live switching to industry-standard codecs and NDI? HX3 connectivity, it delivers the performance, reliability, and flexibility professionals need for fast-paced broadcast and event environments. And it can be easily fitted into broadcast racks or road cased for OB or film production.”
The system supports recording from SDI and HDMI sources in Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW and Avid DNx formats, delivering up to 10-bit 4:2:2 quality and resolutions up to 8Kp60. Media can be captured internally using CFexpress cards or externally via high-speed USB-C storage, providing flexibility for high-bandwidth workflows and fast post-production turnaround.
In addition to recording and switching, Shogun AV-19 is designed for mission-critical applications, functioning as a secure backup recorder, instant review station and confidence monitor. It includes Atomos’ suite of professional monitoring tools such as EL Zone false colour, focus peaking, waveform monitoring, Log-to-LUT viewing, frame guides, safe areas, anamorphic de-squeeze, HDR-to-Rec.709 conversion, and quad-view monitoring.
Connectivity is further enhanced through NDI HX3 send and receive capabilities, allowing broadcast-quality video, audio and metadata to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable for remote and mobile production setups. Professional audio support is provided via two full-size XLR inputs with 48V phantom power, along with dedicated audio meters, gain controls, and frame-accurate audio delay.
Housed in a robust 19-inch rack-mount chassis and equipped with user-definable function buttons for quick access to key tools, Shogun AV-19 is positioned as a central hub for modern live production, studio, and outside broadcast systems.
Shogun AV-19 is available for preorder now and is expected to begin shipping at the end of March 2026. The monitor-recorder is priced at USD 2,099 or EUR 1,899, excluding local taxes.
