Here’s another enjoyable video with Atomos CEO Jeromy Young. After the more affordable and already available Atomos Ninja hdmi recorder has proven to be a top notch useful device, the not yet released Samurai will now make some of us even more happy as they have added the Avid DNxHD codec.

The Samurai is a recorder that stores video from an HD-SDI source to a harddisk of your choice, making high quality video recording from a camera like for example a Sony F3 much more affordable.
