7-inch HDR SDI/HDMI monitor includes camera control, touch to focus and wireless video monitoring
Atomos has launched the Shinobi 7 RX monitor.
The 7-inch 2200nit HDR monitor is designed for use by directors, focus pullers, and video switchers, and is a redesign of the Shinobi 7 monitor that includes the camera control and touch to focus functionality of 2024-launched Shinobi II, plus wireless video monitoring.
It can control a selection of Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony cameras over USB-C, and Z CAM E2 models through a separate serial cable. The camera control features sliders for adjusting lens aperture, shutter speed and ISO, which can be combined with Atomos monitoring tools such as EL Zone/ARRI false color, histogram, waveform, zebra, focus peaking and zoom.
Finally, Wi-Fi connectivity provides a stable link between the Shinobi 7 RX and the TX component of Atomos’ TX-RX wireless video system, introduced earlier this year, or an RTSP H.264 stream. Atomos TX-RX delivers low-latency (less than 60ms) HD-SDI and 4K HDMI video transmission for wireless on-set monitoring over distances up to 300m (1000ft).
Shinobi 7 RX features
- Super-bright, 7-inch HDR screen with a calibrated peak brightness of 2200nits

The Shinobi 7 RX will cost USD $699 ($799 in the US due to import taxes) / EUR €699, excluding local sales taxes, and will be available from Atomos authorised resellers and on the Atomos web store towards the end of October.
Atomos CEO Peter Barber said: “With Shinobi 7 RX we have taken everything people loved about the original Shinobi 7 and made it better. It has been one of our most popular monitors and we wanted to bring across the powerful camera control features that were first introduced with Shinobi II.
“We have also added high quality wireless video monitoring, making Shinobi 7 RX a perfect companion for our Atomos TX RX wireless monitoring system. Whether you mount an Atomos TX directly to the camera, or loop out from a Ninja recorder, you can now monitor wirelessly on set with multiple Shinobi 7 RX units. And with up to 4 wireless video destinations per Atomos TX monitoring transmitter, your director and your client can each have their own dedicated view. It is a versatile, rugged, super bright monitor that we are very proud to deliver.”
