Atomos Anti-Shock Technology
Spinning disks are very reliable in a controlled environment where
movement and vibration are minimal and within the capabilities of the
devices. They are ideal for low-cost recording, but will suffer reduced
performance if they are jolted or receive a sudden impact.
If a large enough shock occurs a break in the recording may occur. In
this case the Sumo19 will automatically start a new recording once the
drive recovers.
This means that even if you suffer a momentary break in your recording,
the video capture will continue without any intervention from you, the
user.
It is obviously important for you to know that you have suffered from an
interrupted recording and the user interface will display a warning (in the
formofaKangaroosign)clearlyinthetoplefthandcornerofthedisplay.
To remove “Skippy” warning, simply touch the icon and it will
disappear.
File Recovery
The Sumo19 continuously writes to disk while in recording mode. If the
power fails or the drive is removed accidently all but the last few seconds
of the clip can be recovered
In the event of an interrupted recording, when you restart the Sumo19, or
enter playback mode, you will be presented with a menu that gives you
the option to recover immediately, or recover it later.
If you select recover later, every time you put the disk in, or start up the

If the drive is broken, or has become corrupted, then we will not be
