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

signal(withtheoptiontodownscalethe4KinputtoHD).TheSDI<->
HDMI conversion is always live allowing for instant conversion without any
setup. The SDI outputs support 3G in only level B standards and is not
active whilst receiving a RAW signal input
2. HDMI
HDMI IN: The video input is a full size HDMI 2.0a 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.

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

terminals. The inputs can be connected. A 2 in 2 out XLR cable is
available as an optional additional accessory. The inputs can be
conguredatLine,MicandProlevelintheAudiomenu.Theinputscan
also provide 48V Phantom power to compatible microphones.
The XLR outputs are available 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 output is another BNC connector marked
Genlock:Genlockisshortfor“GeneratorLock”invideosystems.The
Genlock is an input only and will lock the internal timing system in a video
device to an external reference signal during play back.
The Genlock BNC can also be used as a LTC Timecode input. This
allows for external LTC timecode to be used enabling multiple devices to
be sharing the same master timecode signal, which makes it 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 Sumo19 are are both SDI and HDMI conversion. 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. To toggle between
SDI and HDMI inputs access the Input Menu (page 19).
Video Scale Convert
Video out also has the option for a down scale to be applied allowing your

3D LUT Output
When not using AtomHDR mode 3D LUTs can be applied to the outputs
of the Inferno and 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 Sumo19 can record 12 channels of digital audio embedded in the SDI
signal, and 8 channels of digital audio embedded in the HDMI signal.
