ATOMOS 10 HDR uses an in depth understanding of each Log curve and combines it with
the control of the panel processing and backlight in order to apply an increased brightness
to the highlight areas of the scene.
Alongside the physical light in the scene, the faster your lens the greater
the level of brightness you’ll have to play with. Choosing a Cine-style lens or
those with a de-clicked manual aperture can provide increased flexibility
over photo lenses that use an electronic control aperture.
The AtomOS 10 monitoring mode allows the processing engine of the SHOGUN STUDIO 2
to display the High Dynamic Range capabilities of a Log gamma input. HDR monitoring in
ATOMOS 10 is the result of the research and development by ATOMOS that allows control
of all aspects of the monitor through image processing to deliver the unclipped beauty of
specular highlights through natural, vibrant colors with a result that allows you to simply
shoot what you see. When the scene in front of you and the picture displayed on the
SHOGUN STUDIO 2 look similar, your exposure should be correct but use in conjunction
with the waveform monitor to verify.
One of the key elements to understand is that if your camera can shoot in Log then it can
already capture more dynamic range than you can display in SDR. Log preserves the high-
light information by applying a Logarithmic curve to compress the additional stops of
dynamic range to fit in to the Rec.709 standard. The image appears washed out and desat-
urated as each pixel contains more brightness information than SDR can display, if it were
to do this it would be brighter than 100% Rec709 and so be clipped. This is illustrated
