Backing up and archiving
Remember that no storage media, including tape, optical disks, spinning
disksandashmemory,iscompletelyimmunefromfailure.
You should bear this in mind when deciding how to manage your recorded
content. At the very least, you should consider the consequences for you
and your business if your storage media were to suffer from a sudden
failure, and you should back up your content accordingly.
Deleting les
To ensure the integrity of data writes and to avoid situations such as
fragmentation the AtomOS operating system on the Ninja V does not

trash or garbage partition of the drive occupying drive cache and this can
effect drive performance. It’s advised that you archive your content and
reformat the drive before each shoot. For more details on this see page 12.
HDMI cables
Take care to use HDMI cables of the appropriate grade and take care to
protect them from damage. Signal issues can often result from damaged
HDMI cables, or using cables that are too long.
Atomos make a range of professional HDMI cables which are ideal for
connecting between your camera and Ninja V. For 4Kp50/60 recording
we advise the use of Atomos HDMI 2.0 cables.
Not all HDMI cables are created equal and there are a variety of different
qualities available. Please make sure you test your cables prior to shooting.
This is particularly important when recording 4kp50/60. Many cables will
claim to be high speed but will lack the required shielding on both cable and
connector to maintain a high quality signal. If the signal contains errors that
will affect your recording your Ninja V will may Lock to these inputs.
Also check your connectivity at both the camera connector and
the recorder/monitor connector to make sure you have a rm
connection to avoid any signal drop out.
If the HDMI cable is removed while recording the “Skippy” image
will also be displayed. To remove touch Skippy and he will
disappear ready for his next notication.
Refer to page 33, Atomos Anti-shock technology for more
information about “Skippy”.
