The Ninja Phone from Atomos is a 10-bit video co-processor for smartphones and tablets that lets you record from professional cameras via HDMI. Designed to take advantage of the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, and their OLED display, the Ninja Phone lets you encode an HDMI signal to ProRes or H.265. Encoded video is sent via a USB-C output to your iPhone's USB-C input, where its A17 SoC processor decodes the signal and displays it on your iPhone's screen, which features a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. It can also display 11 stops of dynamic range of a peak brightness of 1600 nits. ProRes-encoded video may be stored on your iPhone as a .mov file and/or simultaneously transcoded to 10-bit H.265 for workflows that include camera to cloud or live streaming using the iPhone's 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.
You'll also be able to take advantage of external iPhone accessories using a separate USB-C port that allows you to work with microphones and other third-party accessories. Power is delivered using NP series batteries, a battery eliminator, or a USB-C 5V/3A input. When one of these power sources is in use, the Ninja Phone also charges your phone and any connected accessories, helping to ensure longer operating times.
The Ninja Phone iPhone app, which is available as a free download, makes it easy to control and coordinate both the Ninja Phone and your iPhone. It also lets social media creators shoot in 16:9 horizontal or 9:16 portrait mode and is available for iOS and iPadOS.
Please note that a Ninja Case for iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max is required for use.
