1. 4K/HD-SDI
4K/HD-SDI in: The SDI input connections are 12G compliant and
backwards compatible meaning that it can be used for 12G, 6G, 3G and
1.5G signals. The SDI inputs support 3G in both level A and B standards.
This input is also used to input RAW signals from supported cameras.
4K/HD-SDI out: This is for connection to an external monitor or other
device with an SDI input. It carries a loop-through of the incoming SDI or
HDMI signal in record and standby mode, and the playback signal when
the Shogun is in playback mode. This ouput can carry either a 4K or HD
signal (with the option to down scale the 4K input to HD). The SDI <->
HDMI conversion is always live allowing for instant conversion with out any
setup. The SDI outputs support 3G in only level B standards.
2. HDMI
HDMI IN: The video input is a full size HDMI 1.4b connection used to
receive the video and when supported by your device embedded audio
and Timecode. This is both displayed and recorded to the Atomos
recorder/monitor storage media.
HDMI OUT: This is for connection to an external monitor or other device
with an HDMI input. It carries a loop-through of the incoming HDMI or SDI
signal in record and standby mode, and the playback signal when the
Shogun is in playback mode. This ouput is 1.4b and can carry either a 4K
or HD signal (with the option to down convert the 4K input to HD). The SDI
<-> HDMI conversion is always live allowing for instant conversion without
any setup.
3. Analogue Audio
On the side of the Shogun unit is a multi-pin connector in to which the
XLR break out cable can be connected (optional extra for Bare Bones
units). The break out cable provides 2x XLR inputs and 2x XLR outputs.

menu. The inputs can also provide 48V Phantom power to compatible
microphones.
The XLR outputs are for monitoring and the audio channel routed to them
can be selected via the headphones selection in the Audio menu.
4. Synchronization
Located with the SDI input and out put is a 3rd BNC marked Genlock:

input only and will locks the internal timing system in a video device to an
external reference signal during play back.
From Shogun Firmware Version 6.5 the Genlock BNC can also be used
an LTC Timecode inpout. This allows for external LTC timecode to be
used enabeling multiple devices to be sharing the same master timecode
signal, which makes it’s perfect for multi camera setups. LTC is only
available in Record mode and can be accessed via the Time code menu
HDMI and SDI
Built in to the Shogun are both SDI and HDMI inputs. This means that
either input is able to be routed out of both the HDMI and SDI outputs
at the same time. This allows you to use SDI cameras with other HDMI
equipment or HDMI cameras in an SDI infrastructure. This is accessed via
the input menu See page 18.
Video Scale Convert
Video out also has the option for a down scale to be applied allowing your
4K input to be converted to a 1080 HD output for use with existing HD
equipment.
3D LUT Output
LUTs can also be selected to be applied to the outputs and routed out to
other equipment via the HDMI or SDI connections.
Embedded Audio
The Shogun can record 12 channels of digital audio embedded in the SDI
signal, and 8 channels of digital audio embedded in the HDMI signal.
