The new Ninja TX is a completely re-engineered addition to the Ninja monitor-recorder family that features advanced connectivity, including 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0, and a new thermally efficient design.
After a flurry of new products targeting new areas of the business, Atomos has gone back to basics with the new Ninja TX. While other Ninja models offer only HDMI connections, the new Ninja TX features both 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs and outputs, along with integrated Wi-Fi and AirGlu timecode technology. It also introduces a brand-new industrial design that improves thermal efficiency, reduces weight, and enhances portability in the customary 5-inch form factor. All that helps makes it the most expensive Ninja released yet at $999.

You do get plenty for the price, though. Atomos says it debuts features previously reserved for the larger Shogun Ultra but adds support for ultra-fast CFexpress Type B media and recording to USB-C external drives. It launches alongside a new version of the AtomOS Linux-based operating system that promises faster performance, over-the-air updates, and a streamlined user experience.
Its 5-inch 1500 nit screen is 50% brighter than other Ninjas and features all the pro monitoring features you would expect, including EL ZONE false color, focus peaking, waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope and more.
With integrated Wi-Fi and AirGlu, it ships ready for cloud workflows, including 20GB of free ATOMOSphere storage. Creators can upload footage directly to Frame.io, Dropbox, or other camera-to-cloud services — or stream via NDI 6/HX3 — enabling real-time collaboration and faster delivery from anywhere.
Out of the box, Ninja TX supports Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW, Avid DNx and H.265/H.264. It can handle a wide range of resolutions and frame rates too, depending on the output of the camera: up to 120fps at HD resolution, up to 60fps at 4K UHD/DCI and up to 30fps at 8K UHD/DCI resolution.
Thanks to its redesigned cooling system, Ninja TX runs quieter and cooler than ever. Its dual USB-C ports allow simultaneous connection of external drives, accessories, or calibration devices, while 12G-SDI and HDMI connectivity ensures compatibility with virtually any camera or workflow.
“This is the most advanced and capable Ninja we’ve ever built,” said Peter Barber, Atomos CEO. “While it may look similar at first glance, Ninja TX is a completely new product — re-engineered from the ground up. There’s nothing carried over from previous models. The mechanical design, electronics, and thermal system have all been rebuilt to make this possible.”
Atomos has also developed a unique and rugged locking system to maintain a secure grip on connected HDMI and USB-C cables, and Ninja TX is supplied with special brackets to facilitate this. With a USB-C locking cable included (HDMI locking cables can be purchased separately) Atomos reckons it’s the most robust cable system available today.

The Ninja TX will ship end of August 2025 for $999 / €999 / £835 / AUD $1625.
