The Sumo19 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 Sumo19 safely

Although the Sumo19 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 Sumo19 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 cable runs to the Sumo19 are clearly visible and do not present a trip hazard.

•Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.

•Do not insert anything but Sumo19 Master Disk caddies in the Master Disk slot on the side of the Sumo19.

•Do not touch the Sumo19’s screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive objects.

•Do not expose to strong electrical or magnetic fields.

•Do not expose to or use near liquids, rain or moisture.

•Do not dispose of the Sumo19 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 ESD precautions when handling them.

Please see the section Mechanical shock and vibration later in this manual for information about how to handle and care for your disk drives.

SDI Cables

Please remember that SDI cables use locking connectors and will not simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. They are therefore a significant trip hazard to your equipment, which may be damaged if the cables are misused.

HDMI cables

Please remember that HDMI cables do not use locking connectors and will simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. Please ensure your cables make a secure connection and avoid flexing them excessively to maintain reliability.

User Manual Conventions

To keep things simple but clear, we’ve only adopted two conventions in this manual:

What you also need

Widely available 2.5” drives are the basic storage medium for 4K Monitor recorder. We work closely with all the leading drive manufacturers to qualify as many options as possible. Hard drives / HDD or Spinning disk can only be used for HD recording. Solid State Drives / SSD are required for 4K recording or for more demanding production environments that may not be suited to HDDs.

See the section below about when you should consider using SSDs.

Mechanical Shock and Vibration for Spinning Disk HDD’s

Hard disks are precision mechanical devices that need to be handled carefully. The use of mechanical drives or Solid State drives will vary depending on the intended filming application.

We can’t give rigid guidelines because there are so many different kinds of drives, each which has different mechanical properties. You may find variations between drives of the same type.

What we have found is that mechanical drives are suitable for most purposes that don’t involve harsh vibration or mechanical shocks. We would not advise using mechanical disks if there is a likelihood that they might be dropped onto a hard surface.

Which drives should you use?

There are so many drives available, and newer models appear all the time. We are not able to test all drives but here are some guidelines.

Spinning Disk Drives (HDD) are recommended for recording up to 1080p30/1080i60 HD video only

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are recommended for recording up to

4KUHDp30 and 4KDCIp30 from RAW

Speed and reliability are the main factors. Here are a few things to bear in mind:

•Disk drive data rates tend to be given in megabytes per second, and codec data rates are normally given in megabits per second. It’s very easy to get confused. But there’s no need to be, because all you have to do to convert megabits to megabytes is divide by 8. So if you’re recording at 220 megabits per second, that’s going to result in 220/8 megabytes per second, which is 27.5 megabytes per second.

•We recommend at least 7200 RPM drives. Just remember that the higher the bit-rate of the codec you’re using, the faster the drive needs to be, with 4K recording your data rate is four times from that of HD recording, please ensure your drive is capable of keeping up with 4K write speed requirements.

Atomos regularly test hard drives – please check this link before purchasing drives: http://www.atomos.com/drives

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 Sumo19 while recording.

•Do not use spinning drives (HDD) for recording 4K video

•You will find noticeable differences in the ability of drives to withstand shock and to continue recording during vibration and movement.

What you also need

File Recovery

•Your Sumo19 is able to detect when the drive is under stress and it will recover from any break in a recording by waiting until the drive is ready to continue, and then resuming from that point. If frames have been dropped because of shock or vibration, a “Skippy” Kangaroo symbol will appear on the home screen on the Sumo19, in the top left hand corner of the display. This means that you will not normally have to restart the Sumo19, even if a recording has been interrupted by mechanical disruption to the disk drive. (see Monitoring and Recording : Anti-shock technology for more information)

Taking into account most usage scenarios, we think that mechanical disks will be suitable in the majority of cases when recording up to 1080p30 HD. Spinning disks are most sensitive when they are rotating. It is obviously best to avoid dropping them but many disks now have a

“drop detector” that will lock the most fragile mechanical parts in place and protect them from surprisingly hard knocks. We recommend that if you want to experiment with this, you do so with a drive that doesn’t contain the day’s shoot!

Backing up and archiving

Remember that no storage medium, including tape, optical disks, spinning disks and flash memory, is completely immune from failure.

You should bear this in mind when deciding how to manage your recorded content. At the very least, you should consider the consequences for you and your business if your storage medium were to suffer from a sudden failure, and you should back up your content accordingly. Hard drives that you can use for archiving are becoming increasingly affordable. You may find that it is completely feasible for your to keep your master Sumo19 disks on a shelf (just like tapes!), and, as a backup, store copies on large hard drives, RAID arrays, Network Attached Storage (NAS) or LTO.

4K SDI cables (not included)

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 therefore a significant 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 4K, for longer runs cables of a Belden 1694A specification are recommended.

HDMI cables (not included)

HDMI cables are robust physically and electrically: you should rarely have problems with signal transmission unless your cables are either damaged or too long.

Atomos make a range of Professional HDMI cables which are ideal for connecting between your camera and Atomos device.

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.

Also check your connectivity at both the camera connector and the recorder/monitor connector to make sure you have a firm connection to avoid any signal drop out.

If the SDI / HDMI cable is removed while recording the “Skippy” image will also be displayed. To remove touch Skippy and he will disappear ready for his next notification.

Refer to page 35: Atomos Anti-shock technology for more information about “Skippy”.

3. Mounting disks in the Master Caddy II

Mounting drives in the Master Caddy II

Insert the disk into the caddy, and secure with four screws. 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 caddy into the Sumo19 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 Sumo19. You have to be quite firm to push the Master Caddy II into place, but don’t push too hard, 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 that the Master Caddy isn’t properly flush with the drive inside. A quick visual check will confirm this.

Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static electricity. Please observe all the usual precautions

when handling them, especially DO NOT EVER 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 Sumo19 due to the compact latch design.

1	Carefully assemble the
	Master Caddy II and disk

Insert screw

Align all parts	Insert screw

2	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 screw you are tightening for optimal fit.

4. Connecting the Sumo19 and powering up

BatteryInputPower

DCIN

Battery Options

The Sumo19 can be powered by V-Lock / Anton Bauer batteries via the XLR terminal (optional mounting plates available). Like all batteries, you will need to take care of them. Make sure that you don’t short circuit the connections because this can result in very high currents that can damage the cells and could pose a fire hazard.

Charge new batteries before using them, using the battery charger supplied by the manufacturer.

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.

DC Power

Once the Sumo19 is switched on, it will operate from your external

DC power source if available, if no DC power source is present, then the battery will become the primary power source if it connected by the XLR terminal. The battery will work as redundant power if DC power is disconnected.

Continuous Power

The Sumo19 features an Atomos technology called Continuous Power which uses battery looping technology for uninterrupted switching between power sources during use.

The Sumo19 may be powered from NiMH & Li Ion 14.4V battery systems via the XLR terminal for V-Lock / Anton Bauer batteries.

1. 4K/HD-SDI

4K/HD-SDI in: The SDI input connections are 12G compliant and backwards compatible meaning that it can be used for 12G, 6G, 3G and 1.5G signals. The SDI inputs support 3G in both level A and B standards. This input is also used to input RAW signals from supported cameras.

4K/HD-SDI out: This is for connection to an external monitor or other device with an SDI input. It carries a loop-through of the incoming SDI or HDMI signal in record and standby mode, and the playback signal when the Sumo19 is in playback mode. This output can carry either a 4K or HD signal (with the option to down scale the 4K input to HD). The SDI <->

HDMI conversion is always live allowing for instant conversion without any setup. The SDI outputs support 3G in only level B standards and is not active whilst receiving a RAW signal input

2. HDMI

HDMI IN: The video input is a full size HDMI 2.0a connection used to receive the video and when supported by your device embedded audio and Timecode. This is both displayed and recorded to the Atomos recorder/monitor storage media.

HDMI OUT: This is for connection to an external monitor or other device with an HDMI input. It carries a loop-through of the incoming HDMI or SDI signal in record and standby mode, and the playback signal when the

Sumo19 is in playback mode. This output 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 without any setup.

3. Analogue Audio

On the rear panel of the Sumo are the XLR audio input and output terminals. The inputs can be connected. A 2 in 2 out XLR cable is available as an optional additional accessory. The inputs can be configured at Line, Mic and Pro level in the Audio menu. The inputs can also provide 48V Phantom power to compatible microphones.

The XLR outputs are available for monitoring and the audio channel routed to them can be selected via the headphones selection in the Audio menu.

3

4. Synchronization

Located with the SDI input and output is another BNC connector marked

Genlock: Genlock is short for “Generator Lock” in video systems. 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 Genlock 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

HDMI and SDI

Built in to the Sumo19 are are both SDI and HDMI conversion. This means that either input is able to be routed out of both the HDMI and SDI outputs at the same time. This allows you to use SDI cameras with other HDMI equipment or HDMI cameras in an SDI infrastructure. To toggle between SDI and HDMI inputs access the Input Menu (page 19).

Video Scale Convert

Video out also has the option for a down scale to be applied allowing your

4K input to be converted to a 1080 HD output for use with existing HD equipment.

3D LUT Output

When not using AtomHDR mode 3D LUTs can be applied to the outputs of the Inferno and LUTs can also be selected to be applied to the outputs and routed out to other equipment via the HDMI or SDI connections.

Embedded Audio

The Sumo19 can record 12 channels of digital audio embedded in the SDI signal, and 8 channels of digital audio embedded in the HDMI signal.

The Master Caddy II is hot-swappable, so you can do this at any time – even while the unit is turned on. But don’t do it while recording or you will get a corrupted file that may be unplayable.

The Sumo19 does NOT have a release latch - it is friction-fit. Simply pull the Master Caddy out using the top and bottom tabs on the caddy itself.

Master Caddy II is backwards compatible with previous Atomos recorders Master Caddy 1 is not compatible with Sumo19 as the keyways are on one side only.

Screw Mounts

The Sumo features standard tripod ¼” screw mounts and 3/8” screw mounts on the top/bottom/side of the unit along with a standard VESA mount on the rear panel, allowing you to configure your recording setup to suit your needs (camcorder mount accessories not included with Sumo).

Attaching the Sun Hood

For HDR, the viewing experience can easily be influenced by the environmental conditions and the best experience for viewing HDR requires that you minimise the ambient light between your eyes and the screen to easily resolve the dynamic range of the scene.

For this reason, we have developed an optional sun hood for Sumo. It consists of a zippered corner construction that allows the user to collapse and use as screen protection during transportation and securely screws to the front face of Sumo to provide shelter for privacy and premium outdoor monitoring.

To assemble the sun hood please follow the following steps:

Attach the base to the Sumo19 in the orientation shown above.

This is a snug fit in order to minimize external light bleed.

Push the sunhood in, align the top and bottom screw mounting holes and attach the retaining screws.

As the retaining screws provide anchor point for mounting make sure they are firmly connected to provide a solid base.

With the Sun hood base in place, take the main section and pop this out to form a rectangular tunnel and zip up the sides to ensure it looks like the image above.
