The Atomos Sumo 19 is a large-format HDR production monitor and recorder that brings studio-grade confidence to set, village, and post. Its expansive 19-inch 1,200-nit display delivers consistent brightness for both interior and controlled exterior environments, making it easier to assess composition, exposure, and color at a glance. Built for serious filmmaking, broadcast, and commercial work, Sumo 19 combines precision monitoring with robust external recording so teams can capture the cleanest possible signal while seeing the image exactly as intended.

At the heart of Sumo 19 is a finely tuned processing engine that supports 10-bit monitoring with wide color, enabling faithful reproduction of skin tones, highlights, and shadow detail. The AtomHDR platform makes working with log gamma straightforward, letting crews view HDR or log content correctly while recording a clean file for finishing. 3D LUT support offers look previews for clients and creatives without baking a grade into the master, preserving latitude for DI, VFX, and multi-deliverable workflows.

Sumo 19 records directly to Apple ProRes and Avid DNx for fast editorial, and with compatible cameras can capture ProRes RAW for exceptional grading flexibility. By writing straight to 2.5-inch SSDs in the Atomos Master Caddy system, it ensures long record times, reliable media handling, and rapid handoffs to post. This approach shortens ingest, reduces transcoding steps, and keeps timelines responsive while maintaining image integrity from capture through finish.

Connectivity is a strong suit. With 3G/6G/12G-SDI and HDMI I/O, Sumo 19 slots into cinema, broadcast, and multi-camera environments without fuss. Its ports support monitoring, external recording, and integration across mixers, switchers, and camera ecosystems in a single unit. Timecode compatibility keeps multi-cam and dual-system sound in sync, simplifying complex edits and ensuring clean alignment when conforming in post.

Beyond sheer image fidelity, Sumo 19 is packed with professional monitoring tools that elevate accuracy on set. Use waveform, vectorscope, and RGB parade for exposure and color balance, while false color, zebras, and highlight warnings help protect skin tones and speculars. For focus precision, peaking and magnification confirm sharpness on cinema primes and telephoto lenses. Frame lines and safe areas streamline composition for social, broadcast, and theatrical deliverables, and anamorphic de-squeeze ensures correct viewing for 1.33x, 1.5x, 1.8x, and 2x glass.

On multi-cam productions, Sumo 19 shines as a live switcher and program recorder when configured with supported inputs. Directors and producers can monitor multiple sources, switch live, and record the program feed while capturing clean ISOs where applicable. This integrated approach reduces gear sprawl, accelerates turnaround for interviews, events, and corporate content, and gives editors both a ready cut and the flexibility to re-edit with isolated angles.

Designed for the realities of field and studio work, Sumo 19 features a durable chassis with ample mounting and rigging options, including stands, carts, and studio racks. Its touch-driven interface keeps essential tools and codec settings within easy reach, minimizing menu diving and keeping the crew focused. Power options include DC input for studio and cart setups, with solutions available for mobile rigs to suit various production styles and locations.

For directors and DITs who demand trustworthy reference, the Sumo 19’s combination of size, brightness, and toolset makes it a powerful hub for on-set decision-making. Colorists appreciate the integrity of edit-ready ProRes and DNx files and the optional RAW path that preserves maximum dynamic range. Whether used as a director’s monitor, client display, or engineering reference at video village, Sumo 19 brings clarity and discipline to every step of the process.
