Atomos Shogun AV-19M

Atomos Shogun AV-19M | 19-inch 4K HDR monitoring for production

The Atomos Shogun AV-19M is a 19-inch 4K HDR touchscreen monitor with 1200-nit brightness, made for studio, broadcast and live-production teams. Its 7RU rackmount format brings a large, detailed picture into a fixed control-room or rack setup, while combining NDI HX3 monitoring with HDMI and 12G-SDI connections. That mix is useful when a production includes both network video sources and conventional camera or broadcast feeds: you can monitor them on one display rather than switching between separate screens. The 3840 × 2160 resolution gives operators fine image detail to assess, and DCI-P3 coverage supports colour-critical viewing. HDR monitoring includes native HDR, HLG and PQ, as well as 3D LUT modes. In a live-production position, it serves as a main view for checking a programme feed; in a studio, it provides a large surface for evaluating a camera picture; and in a mixed-IP setup, it brings NDI sources into the same monitoring environment as SDI and HDMI. The AV-19M is the monitor-only member of the Shogun AV-19 range, focused on viewing and analysis rather than recording or switching.

Monitoring and signal tools

• NDI HX3 with quad view: Connect over Ethernet and view one NDI source full-screen or up to four at once in a quad-view layout. That’s useful for keeping several network feeds in sight during a live production.
• 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0: The monitor has one SDI input and output, with 6G- and 3G-SDI compatibility, plus HDMI input and output supporting up to 4K at 60 fps. It fits into a range of established video signal paths.
• Built-in signal conversion: HDMI-to-SDI and SDI-to-HDMI conversion is included. This gives crews a way to pass a signal between those connection types from the monitor, rather than relying on a separate converter for that task.
• Picture analysis: Waveform, RGB parade and vectorscope are available alongside focus peaking and zebras. Use the scopes to assess signal levels and colour balance, and the focus aids to judge sharpness on the displayed image.
• Exposure and framing aids: Atomos false colour, ARRI false colour and EL Zone are joined by frame guides, safe areas and anamorphic de-squeeze. These tools cover exposure assessment, composition checks and viewing a desqueezed anamorphic image.
• Custom 3D LUT support: Load .cube LUTs in 17- or 33-point formats for monitoring, with downstream LUT output also supported. This lets a viewing transform be applied on the monitor and passed along through its output.

Good to know

Calibration is supported through the Atomos Calibrator app with a Calibrite Display Pro HL or Display Plus HL probe. The required calibration cable, part number ATOMCAB018, is sold separately. The AV-19M is the monitor-only version: the Shogun AV-19 is the model to consider when ProRes or DNx recording and switching are also required. This distinction matters when selecting a unit for a rack that needs to do more than display and analyse a signal.
