**It’s been in public beta, but now, finally, Atomos has released the final release firmware to enable 5.9K ProRes RAW recording from the Panasonic S1H, along with a fantastic short film to show it off with.**

###### ** A still from one of the launch films, *Blind Love*, that Atomos produced using the S1H and ProRes RAW.**

Users have been waiting a while, it has to be said, but today S1H owners can now get their hands on the official release version of the Ninja v firmware to allow ProRes RAW recording from the Panasonic S1H.

We’ve been covering this quite extensively already, but to recap for those of you that have been living under a rock the firmware allows 12-bit ProRes RAW at nearly 6K resolution to be recorded onto the Ninja V unit over HDMI. This is up to 29.97p using the full-frame sensor, or 4K at up to 59.94 with a Super35 sensor crop. Anamorphic S35 is also now supported at 3.5K resolution, something that wasn’t present on the beta firmware.

###### One of the lenses used on the S1H to shoot the short film Blind Love, recorded to an Atomos Ninja V recorder.

ProRes RAW is supported in a wide variety of apps now. Apart from the obvious one, FCP X, it is supported extensively in ASSIMILATE SCRATCH, Colorfront, FilmLight Baselight, and Grass Valley’s Edius.

The firmware is [available immediately](https://www.atomos.com/firmware/ninja-v) from the Atomos website. A number of example videos were supplied with the press release, but the one I will focus on is a short film called Blind Love. Viewer discretion is advised, particularly if you are in a workplace. However unlike most example videos this is a well produced, bonafide short film rather than just the usual random montage of shots with an associated pretentious title.

There's a twist, as with all good short films, with excellent sound design and well paced editing. It’s the the kind of thing we would usually showcase as a good example of low budget filmmaking on RedShark at any other time. However here it is nice to see a video equipment manufacturer treating its customers like adults and producing something that involves actual filmmaking. More like this please! We've also included the associated behind the scenes video.
