Atomos ATOMNEO171-US NEON 17" – 4K HDR On-Set Monitor-Recorder

Product Overview

The Atomos NEON 17 is a 17-inch 4K HDR monitor-recorder built for on-set and in-studio production environments where a large, accurate reference display is needed without the footprint of a full video village setup. Supporting Apple ProRes RAW and Avid DNx recording via HDMI and SDI inputs, the NEON 17 serves cinematographers, camera operators, and DIT technicians who need a precision field reference monitor and recorder in a single unit. Its DCI-P3 color gamut and HDR monitoring capabilities—covering HLG and PQ formats—deliver the image accuracy needed to evaluate exposure and composition on set with confidence.

Product Description

The Atomos NEON 17 positions a 17-inch 4K HDR reference display at the camera position or on a small DIT cart, bridging the gap between compact on-camera monitors and full-scale video village setups. It accepts HDMI and SDI inputs from the broadest range of professional cameras and renders footage in real time with DCI-P3 color accuracy and HDR tool access. Recording to removable SSD via the Atomos Master Caddy system captures Apple ProRes RAW, ProRes, and Avid DNx files directly from the monitor, eliminating a dedicated external recorder from the equipment chain.

The NEON 17 ships with the complete Atomos professional monitoring toolset accessible from its capacitive touchscreen: waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, false color, focus peaking, zebra, anamorphic de-squeeze, and custom 3D LUT support via .cube file upload. For productions working with log footage across multiple camera brands, the NEON 17's gamma and gamut support covers Sony S-Log, Canon C-Log, ARRI Log C, Panasonic V-Log, RED Log, Fujifilm F-Log, and Nikon N-Log. Power is supplied via dual V-Lock or Anton Bauer gold-mount battery plates for continuous field operation, or via 4-pin XLR DC for studio and fixed-location setups. Teams looking for a smaller companion monitor for the NEON 17 can find compatible Atomos on-camera monitors at Creation Networks.
