Atomos Ninja V Recorder Firmware 10.74

Frame Grab

- Capture lossless PNG frame grabs in the Ninja V’s native display resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) during recording and playback by tapping the frame grab icon in the lower tool bar menu at the bottom of the screen.
- The PNG files are stored within the Frame Grab folder on your recording media, which automatically gets created when you capture your first frame grab.

Onion Skin Overlay

- Layer frame grabs on top of your video feed in Record and Playback mode at three different transparency levels & positions (50/50 split left, full-width, 50/50 split right).
- To load a frame grab, navigate to the new Onion Skin tab via the lower tool bar menu. In there, you are presented with the options to load an individual frame grab via the file browser or choose either the last used or last captured grab.
- Besides using frame grabs captured with the Ninja V, you can also load custom 24-Bit PNG images (Alpha Transparency supported) in 1920 x 1080 resolution via the Onion Skin tool.

Custom Frame Guides

- Enter your desired aspect ratio into the new custom frame guide configurator to create a custom preset.
- The standard frame guide presets that have always been in AtomOS have been moved into the new Frame Guide tab in the lower tool bar menu. This way, you can easily enable and disable them via a single tap, and browse all the available SMPTE, social and custom frame guide options through the menu.

Firmware Update Procedure:

- Insert a compatible, formatted SSD into the Docking Station.
- Unzip the downloaded file and copy the ATOMNJV.FW file to the root of the SSD.
- Eject the SSD (according to operating system guidelines).
- Insert the SSD into the Ninja V.
- Power on the Ninja V and the firmware update process will begin automatically.
- If your Ninja V is already powered on, you will be prompted to perform the firmware update when a drive containing new firmware is inserted.
- Once the update is complete, your Ninja V will power itself down.
- To verify if the firmware update was successfully completed, power your Ninja back on, navigate to the main menu, and scroll to the info tab. 

About Video Recorder Adapter Updates:

Applying a new firmware package on your Video Recorder adapter should improve overall performance and stability, fix various issues encountered with the device, or add support for newly developed features.

The Video Recorder adapter should be carefully upgraded by a power user (that is to say, someone who has the know-how to successfully complete the process), but it can also be performed by an average user at his or her own risk.

Either way, given the fact that each producer has their own method for installing a new firmware, and that every device has a particular way to enter the update mode, you must not consider upgrading the adapter's software until you have read and thoroughly understood the installation steps.

As a rule, said steps shouldn't pose too much of a challenge because manufacturers strive to make them as easy as possible. As with everything else, exceptions do occur, and users should be prepared for them.

Usually, you should transfer the compatible firmware to the Recorder through a USB cable or a memory card, and afterwards enter update mode from the unit's setup menu or through a specific power-on method.

With this in mind, if you intend to apply this release, make sure the package is compatible with your Video Recorder and that it brings about the changes you want or require; hit the download button and apply the new firmware.
