NOTE: Atomos invented the concept of a field monitor that also records to high capacity, removable media. With Ninja TX that vision takes a major leap forward. The addition of high-performance CFexpress media enables lightning-fast RAW video capture, while high-speed USB-C adds the flexibility to record directly to external storage, ideal for extended shoots and fast turnaround workflows.

Quoting from the Atomos press release:

Ninja TX features both 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs and outputs, along with integrated Wi-Fi and AirGlu™ timecode technology. It introduces a brand-new industrial design that improves thermal efficiency, reduces weight, and enhances portability, all in a compact 5-inch form factor.

“I’m incredibly proud of the Atomos engineering team for achieving what many would’ve thought impossible: fitting 12G-SDI, HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and timecode sync via AirGlu into such a compact and lightweight design to create a highly portable, run-and-gun, monitor-recorder,” said Peter Barber, Atomos CEO. “Atomos invented this category, and Ninja TX takes us even further ahead. Its size and versatility make it ideal for any professional camera rig. This is going to be a must-have for filmmakers everywhere. Ninja TX is the new production standard. No other monitor-recorder comes close.”

Despite its size, Ninja TX delivers powerful features previously reserved for the larger Shogun Ultra but also adds support for ultra-fast CFexpress Type B media and recording to USB-C external drives. The all-new AtomOS Linux-based operating system provides faster performance, over-the-air updates, and a streamlined user experience. And of course, it includes all the extensive monitoring tools that have made Ninja the go-to field monitor for video professionals for over a decade.

An external monitor gives so much more control of a shot than a camera’s built-in screen. The new Ninja TX’s 5-inch 1500 nit screen is 50% brighter than other Ninjas and is packed with pro monitoring features including EL ZONE™ false color, focus peaking, waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope and more, to help creators fine-tune framing, exposure, color, sharpness and more with confidence.

Ninja TX is built for the connected future. With integrated Wi-Fi and AirGlu, it ships ready for cloud workflows, including 20GB of free ATOMOSphere storage. Creators can upload footage directly to Frame.io, Dropbox, or other camera-to-cloud services, or stream via NDI 6/HX3, enabling real-time collaboration and faster delivery from anywhere.

Thanks to its redesigned cooling system, Ninja TX runs quieter and cooler than ever. Its dual USB-C ports allow simultaneous connection of external drives, accessories, or calibration devices, while 12G-SDI and HDMI connectivity ensures compatibility with virtually any camera or workflow. Ninja TX is a future-ready tool built to meet evolving content creation needs.
