I glanced over the new BMD UltraStudio Mini lineup and was quite pleased to see that they were competitively priced but somewhat bulky compared to other 4K60 solutions out there.

What I can't wrap my head around is why they don't support 1440p? I want to switch to a 2560x1440 canvas in OBS and switch to 1440p60 streaming, converting my old 1080p60 workflow. Examining the specs everywhere, including my Atomos Ninja, there is no in-between 1080p60 and 2160p60.

Is this just because 1440p is a some fringe PC standard and not a broadcast standard?

I find it very confusing that the comparison chart on Atomos website says HDMI up to 4K60p in and the manuals/quickspecs/B&H says 4K up to 30p.

Well, which one is it?

I need to monitor framing on a 4K60 signal and don't care if it's 4K30 on the Shinobi monitor. This is a loop through from an NDI encoder.

I had a chat with the maker, Dan Massie at Golden State Pinball Festival. Dark Chaos went from a VPX to the real thing.

I've enjoyed hundreds of hours of recording 4K60 and sometimes 1080p60 on my Ninja 5" (both ProRes HQ).

Last week I was recording in a somewhat warmer room than usual. The Ninja hit a black screen and froze about 10-15 minutes into the recording. I adjusted the cooling mode to turbo and it seem to have fixed it.

Here I updated to the latest firmware (unknown which I had before).

Yesterday while recording the Ninja stopped recording randomly after 20 minutes, corrupted the file and somehow marked the SSD as full (the record button was greyed out). I fixed the file and could continue to record an hour afterwards without issue.

Has the Ninja's best before date expired? I'm so bummed out I can't trust it now and it's my favorite piece of gear in my kit. 😓
