Contents Safety Instructions
User Manual Conventions
The Shogun 7 is designed to a high standard but there are some things
you should be aware of to prolong the life of the unit and for your own
safety.
Using the Shogun 7 safely
Although the Shogun 7 is very lightweight compared to all the devices it
replaces, it is still a solid object that could cause injury if misused.
• Always make sure that the Shogun 7 is mounted securely and is unable
to fall onto anyone nearby. This is especially important when there are
children present who might be tempted to pull on cables.
• Always ensure that cables that run to the Shogun 7 are clearly visible
and do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.
• Do not insert anything but a Shogun 7 Master Caddy II or AtomX
SSDmini in the drive slot on the rear of the Shogun 7.
• Do not touch the Shogun 7 screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive objects.
• Donotexposetostrongelectricalormagneticelds.
• Do not expose to liquids, rain or moisture.
• Do not dispose of the Shogun 7 in municipal waste and do not incinerate it,
always follow local regulations for safe disposal.
Care of disk drives
Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Please observe all the usual electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
when handling them.
Please see the section on mechanical shock and vibration later in this
manual for information about how to handle and care for your disk drives.
HDMI cables
Please remember that almost all HDMI cables do not use locking
connectors and will simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over.
Pleaseensureyourcablesmakeasecureconnectionandavoidexing

Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 4
2. What you also need
Media
Widely available 2.5” SSDs are the basic storage media for Atomos 4K
Monitor Recorders. We work closely with leading drive manufacturers to
qualify as many options as possible. SSDs are required for 4K recording
and for more demanding production environments that may not be suited
to spinning hard disks.
We have worked closely with Angelbird and Sony to develop new media
designedspecicallyfortheAtomosNinjaVthatis100%compatible
with Shogun 7. The new AtomX SSDmini is smaller than a standard SSD,
but utilises the same SATA connection as normal HDD/SSD media and is
compatible with all Atomos recorders and docking stations.
AtomXSSDminitsdirectlyintotheShogun7diskslotwithouttheneedfor
a Master Caddy II, and can be further enhanced by the addition of AtomX
SSDmini handle to make connecting and removing the SSD effortless.
Which drives should you use?
There are so many drives available, and newer models appear all the
time. To avoid potential data loss and/or write/read errors, Atomos only
recommends the use of approved SSD media only.
We are not able to test all drives but here are some guidelines.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) are recommended for all recording up to
4kUHDp30andspecicdriveswithsustainedhighperformancewrite
speeds for 4kDCIp60.
Spinning Disk Drives (HDD) are not recommended.
HDDs are not suitable for 4K recording or for use in environments or
situations where the units are subjected to vibration and movements.
Here are some things that you should bear in mind when using
spinning disks:
• Even though spinning drives can withstand substantial shocks when
they are not in use, they are more vulnerable when running. Harsh
treatment that may not actually damage the drive may interrupt
recordings at a much lower level of severity. We recommend that you
experiment with your drives by testing them in the conditions that you
normally work in.
• Do not bang or jolt the Shogun 7 while recording.
• Do not use spinning drives (HDD) when recording 4K video
• Youwillndnoticeabledifferencesintheabilitiesofdifferentdrives
to withstand shock and to continue recording during vibration and
movement.
Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 5
HDMI cables
Take care to use HDMI cables of the appropriate grade and take care to
protect them from damage. Signal issues can often result from damaged
HDMI cables, or using cables that are too long.
Atomos makes a range of professional HDMI cables which are ideal for
connecting your camera to the Shogun 7. For 4Kp50/60 recordings, the
use of Atomos HDMI 2.0 cables would be most optimal.
Not all HDMI cables are created equal and there are a variety of different
qualities available. Please make sure you test your cables prior to shooting.
This is particularly important when recording 4kp50/60. Many cables will
claim to be high speed but will lack the required shielding on both the cable
and connector to maintain a high quality signal.
Check your connectivity at both the camera connector and
the recorder/monitor connector to make sure you have a rm
connection to avoid any signal drop out.
If the HDMI or SDI cable is removed while recording the “Skippy”
image will also be displayed. To remove touch Skippy and he will
disappear, ready for his next notication.
Refer to page 33, Atomos Anti-shock technology for more
information about “Skippy”.
4K SDI cables
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 jerked or tripped over. They are a
signicanttriphazard,andalsoahazardtoyourequipment,whichmaybe
damaged if the cables are mishandled or of a low grade. Please ensure
you test and check your SDI cables for 4K. For longer runs, cables of a
Belden1694Aspecicationarerecommended.
Standard 1/4” Mount/Arm
The Shogun 7 includes 1/4" -20 screw mounts top and bottom, along with
ARRI’s anti-rotational pin system for secure mounting to a wide range of
arms, mounts and cages. It is compatible with the latest mounting solutions
from companies such as Shape, SmallRig and Wooden Camera. Select the
mount type that best suits your input device, application and conditions.
2. What you also need
Below are some examples of tripod and hot shoe mounts, available from
most camera and video specialists.
A secure mount will greatly enhance usability and security of HDMI, power,
remote and audio connections. Related info on page 10.

Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 6
Mounting drives in the Master Caddy II
If you choose to use your own disks instead of a pre-built AtomX SSDmini,
follow this procedure to install it in the provided Master Caddy II.
Insert the disk into the caddy, and secure with four screws. These screws
shouldbetightenedsothescrewheadsareushwiththecasingofthe
caddy. The caddy is light and the disk just needs to be held securely.
Don’t over-tighten the screws. There are no connections to make because
sliding the Master Caddy II into the Shogun 7 or the docking station makes
all the connections for you.
The Master Caddy can’t be inserted the wrong way round. Always make
sure that the disk connector faces the slot in the Shogun 7. Push the Master
Caddy II into place, but never force the disk just in case something isn’t
set up or aligned properly.
There is very little that can cause problems and the most likely thing is
thattheMasterCaddyisn’tproperlyushwiththedriveinside.Aquick
visualcheckwillconrmthis.
SSDs and spinning disks are very sensitive to damage from
static electricity. Please observe all the usual precautions
when handling them. DO NOT touch the exposed SATA connector
as static electricity may be harmful to your disk.
Master Caddy II drives are backwards compatible with previous
Atomos recorders, however Master Caddy 1 is not forward
compatible with the Shogun 7 due to the compact latch design.
3. Mounting disks in the Master Caddy II
1Carefully assemble the
Master Caddy II and disk
Ensure all 3 parts aligned
and insert 4 x screws (supplied)
Do not over-tighten screws or alignment
can not be guaranteed. We suggest
squeezing the corners together near the
screwyouaretighteningforoptimalt.

Align all parts

If using Master Caddy II with Shogun 7 ensure all screws are tight
and not protruding from casing. Loose screws may cause the caddy
to become lodged in the disk slot.
Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 7
Choosing your power source
The Shogun 7 can be powered by the included AC-powered adaptor, or
by using a compatible DC battery. If you are the owner of other Atomos
devices, the batteries you have for these devices (NP-F series) will be
compatible with your new Shogun 7.
Batteries
We recommend the use of optional Atomos NP-F type batteries and the
Atomos Power Kit with the Shogun 7. The Shogun 7 can also use standard
NP-F compatible batteries. Charge new batteries before using them, using
a compatible battery charger. To attach the battery, gently slide it down
into the slot until it locks into position. To remove a battery, push the latch
to release it.
Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged
completely. Tape the contacts with electrical tape and package so as
to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted waste
treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you are not sure
if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries, contact them and
verify if they are permitted or not.
Atomos NP-F Battery Charger (optional)
The Atomos NP-F Battery Charger has been designed to rapidly charge
the batteries yet be lightweight so that is easy to travel with.
In the unlikely event of a charge error the rst and fast red LEDs
ashing quickly.
Fast charging of the battery is possible up to 80% capacity and the
remaining 20% will then charge at a slower rate to maintain good
battery life.
Batteries do not charge in a linear way. At rst they charge very
quickly, and then the rate slows down to a trickle. While charging,
one or more red lights will blink. When 90% charge is reached, all the
lights will ash. It is perfectly OK to use the batteries at this point and
we recommend stopping at this stage for the longest battery life. If
you leave the batteries on charge after all four lights are ashing, the
charger goes into trickle charging mode for the nal 10%. When trickle
charging is complete and the batteries are at 100% charge all the
lights will go out.
Choosing the right battery for your application
Size Cells Battery Life*

7800mAh 6Up to 1hr 50minutes
D-Tap - Source dependent
* Battery life tested during Monitor/Record 4Kp60 operation (AtomOS10.2).
We recommend using Atomos NP-F series batteries.
DC to D-Tap Coiled Cable
An optional Atomos accessory is a DC to D-Tap Coiled Cable.
This is designed to allow you to power your device from an external
battery system. To use this simply connect the D-Tap connector to
your power source. Ensure that the output of the power source does
not exceed 16.8V DC.
Shogun 7 batteries are held in place tightly because they are on
the outside of the device. To ensure that there is no possibility the
components are able to come loose, you may have to be quite rm
with the battery latches. We suggest that you familiarize yourself
with the force required to remove the batteries and accessories so
hat you can do this quickly in the eld.

Battery - Menu Screen
Turning ON power to the Shogun 7
The start button is located on the top right hand side of the unit (as you
look at the screen). With a charged battery attached momentarily press
the recessed circular button on the top right side of the Shogun 7 as you
look at the screen to power up the unit. After a couple of seconds you will
see the Shogun 7 Home Screen.
Turning OFF power to the Shogun 7
To turn the unit off, touch the battery icon on the top right of the main
screen (monitor mode) or bottom right (homescreen mode), and then press
the red Power icon for 4 seconds. The icon will go red when touched to
indicate activation of the button. The unit will then power off. You can also do
a forced power down by pressing the on/off button for four seconds.
Four seconds can seem like a long time! We’ve made it this
way to make absolutely certain that the Shogun 7 can’t be turned
off accidentally.
Do not press and hold the power button in on the Shogun 7 while the
unit is off. This will place the device in to a Firmware recovery mode. If
you accidentally do this, simply turn the device off again or remove
the power source.
Take note to respect the air ow and do not to obstruct the cooling
vents of the unit.
If a mounting solution obstructs the vents, consider mounting the unit
upside down and using the Flip Screen feature to re-orient the display.

input. It carries a loop-through of the incoming HDMI or SDI signal in
record and standby mode, and the playback signal when the Shogun 7
is in playback mode. This ouput is 2.0a and can carry either a 4K or HD
signal (with the option to down convert the 4K input to HD).
The SDI <-> HDMI conversion is always live allowing for instant conversion

inputs support 3G in both level A and B standards. This input is also used
to input RAW signals from supported cameras.
K. SYNC: Genlock in / LTC rec.
Located with the SDI inputs and output is an additional BNC marked
SYNC.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 Sync 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

Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 10
6. AtomX SSDmini, Master Caddy II and Screw Mounts
Mounting options
The Shogun 7 includes 1/4" -20 screw mounts top and bottom, along with
ARRI’s anti-rotational pin system for secure mounting to a wide range of
arms, mounts and cages. It is compatible with the latest mounting solutions
from companies such as Shape, SmallRig and Wooden Camera. Select the
mount type that best suits your input device, application and conditions.
Top view
Bottom view
Master Caddy II Slot / AtomX SSDmini
On the rear of the unit is a 2.5” slot designed for Master Caddy II or AtomX
SSDmini. To insert your caddy or SSDmini, gently push until it stops at the
end of the drive slot.
The SSDmini and Master Caddy II are both hot-swappable, so you can
do this at almost any time – even while the unit is turned on. But don’t do it
whilerecordingoryouwillgetacorruptedlethatmaybeunplayable.
The Shogun 7 disk slot does NOT have a release latch - it is friction
t. Simply pull the SSDmini / Master Caddy II out using the top and
bottom tabs on the caddy itself.
AtomX SSDmini is backwards compatible with previous Atomos
recorders. The original Master Caddy 1 is not compatible with Shogun
7 as the keyways are on one side only.
AtomX SSDmini Handle available. Attach to SSDmini for use with
existing Atomos Master Caddy II compatible devices, and reduce
handling and potential damage to disk casing.
Ensure you do not over tighten the screw mounts as this may cause
damage. Do not insert a 1/4-20 thread longer than 5mm or you will risk
causing damage to the aluminium screw mount.

Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 11
7. Using the Shogun 7
SHOGUN 7 With the introduction of AtomOS10 operating system for
Shogun, there have been some signicant changes in
the way we do things compared to our previous models
– especially in the overall look and feel, the placement of
buttons, and the way that AtomOS10 works.
With AtomOS10, you get the ultimate touch interface for
monitoring and recording. This new version of our operating
system has a clear, elegant design. It’s easy to understand
yet gives you total access to all functions. No complicated
sequences of buttons. No endless menus crowded with
text. It’s optimized for our latest AtomIC hardware platform.
And it’s extremely responsive with fast boot up times.
Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 12
a. Format Media (HDD/SSD)
Make sure your drive is correctly inserted and all data from previous shoots
has been securely backed-up. Touching the Storage Capacity Indicator
on the home screen will take you to the Media Menu.
This menu provides information on the drive currently inserted. To format
the drive touch the Format button (below).
Aconrmationscreenwillgiveyouthechoicetocontinueorcancel
the process.
If you do not see your hard drive information, there may be a
problem with the connection or drive. Try removing the drive and
reattaching the drive. Ensure correct alignment of Master Caddy II
or SSDmini.
The Shogun 7 uses the exFAT le system for broadest compatibility.
Secure Erase Format
For drives that carry the Atomos Logo such as the G-Technology 4K SSD,
Angelbird 4KRAW, AtomX SSDmini by Angelbird and Sony, an option for
secure erase is presented. This allows for the entire drive including the
drive cache to be formatted. This will erase ALL content on the drive
meaningnothingcanberecovered.Thebenetofthisistooptimise
performance. It will wipe all data off the drive (which may also be useful as
a additional security measure) and reset it back as close as possible to
factory conditions.
When you rst insert a drive you may be presented with “Invalid
media”. This display means that the drive has not yet been formatted
and you simply need to follow the process to format your drive
Understanding the basic controls and ‘housekeeping’
functions will save you time in the future. Before you start
enjoying your Shogun 7 it will help to set it up with a
‘device name’ and file naming conventions.

b. Unit Name
c. File Naming
d. Screen Lock
e. Firmware Updates
7. Using the Shogun 7 - Best Practice
Atomos Shogun 7 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2019 13
b. Unit Name
To access the unit name tap the input settings from the home screen
Information bar.
Then navigate to the FILE TAB
The unit name serves two main purposes:
• Drive Naming:Givingtheunitauniquenameaidswithidentication.
Once you have given it a name all drives subsequently formatted in the
Shogun7willbearthisnameasaprex.
• File Naming: File name is the current unit name as the start of the
recorded clip name; SHGN7_S001_S001_T001
c. File naming
Create your own unit name by pressing the arrow to change and enter
the letters in. Pressing OK will allocate the new unit name and return you
to the menu screen.
This process can be very useful when using multiple devices or with
multicamshoots.Goodlemanagementnowwillsaveyouvaluabletime
in post production.
• Scene and shot can also be set using the + - controls. Take is automated.
When changing the drive please ensure that you take note of the
last scene and take number so you can append this as formatting a
drive will reset the scene and take counter to 001,001,001.
d. Screen Lock
Lock the Display Screen
You can lock the display of the Shogun 7 by tapping the power button.
This will ensure no changes can be made by mistakenly touching the
screen. The screen lock function will simultaneously lock or unlock both
Channels of the Shogun 7.
Short tap the power button again to unlock the unit.
The lock screen can be combined with the display off function so
that when lock is engaged the display is turned off. The Tally light on
the front of the unit will still display Rec (Red) or idle (green) status.
Locking of the display can be found in the Monitor Mode.
7. Using the Shogun 7 - Best Practice
• Using the Select < > choose the letter to update.
The character you are updating will display in the Letter indicator.
• Use the Letter - + to change the character. When the correct letter
is displayed, use the select control to move to the next character.
