You will also need (sold separately)
SDI Cable
SDI cables are robust physically and electrically. You should
rarely have problems with signal transmission unless your cables
are either damaged or too long. Please remember that SDI
cables use locking connectors and will not simply pull out if they
are pulled or tripped over. They are therefore a signicant trip
hazard, and also a hazard to your equipment, which may be
damaged if the cables are mishandled or of a low grade. Please
ensure you test and check your SDI cables; for longer runs
cables of a Belden 1694A specication are recommended.
HDMI Cable
Atomos have a range of HDMI cables with die cast connectors
and coiled cables in a range of lengths and connections (sold
separately).

Connect and power-up
Battery
Shinobi 7 provides dual battery slots that combined with the
DC input allow for continuous power operation. With both
batteries connected Shinobi 7 will draw power from them
simultaneously, if a battery is removed it will automatically
switch over to the second battery or the DC power input.
This allows you to swap out a depleted battery without having
to shut down the monitor.
Touching the battery icons in the top right of your screen
will allow you to accurately see remaining battery life.
Refer to the User Manual for more information.
AC/DC Power
Alternatively power your Shinobi from mains power using the
included AC Power Adaptor. Simply attached the AC power
adaptor to mains power, carefully attach to the DC port on the
Shinobi 7 and rotate the locking nut to secure.
The DC input port can also be used with the optional Atomos
DTAP to DC cable (ATOMDTPCB2) to supply power to the
Shinobi 7 from a DTAP power output.
Battery indicators will show that no batteries are attached and
the unit is being powered via DC power input.
Power
You can power the device using the supplied AC power
supply, but if you plan to use a battery we recommend you
fully charge before use.
