Atomos is expanding the Shogun AV-19 family with the Shogun AV-19M, a 19-inch 4K HDR monitor that combines NDI HX3, 12G-SDI and HDMI for professional monitoring in broadcast, studio and on-set production.
The new model was introduced at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam and is designed for control rooms, OB vehicles, video villages and portable flypack systems. Its core idea is to bring IP and conventional video workflows onto the same large display, without requiring a separate monitor for each signal type.
Unlike the Shogun AV-19, the AV-19M is a monitoring-only solution: Atomos explicitly states that it has no integrated recording or live switching. It is therefore aimed at productions that already have recorder and switching infrastructure but need a large, accurate display for image evaluation and multiple NDI feeds.
19-inch 4K HDR display with 1200 nits
The Shogun AV-19M uses a 19-inch capacitive touchscreen with 3840 × 2160 resolution, 1200-nit brightness and 10-bit 8+2 FRC display. Atomos specifies 100% Rec.709, 99% DCI-P3, 99% NTSC and 87% BT.2020 coverage, positioning it clearly for environments where exposure, color and focus need to be evaluated on a large screen.
Professional calibration is also supported with Calibrite Display Pro HL or Plus HL probes through the Atomos Calibrator app and the company’s calibration cable. The monitor accepts Log signals from Sony, Canon, ARRI, Panasonic, JVC, RED, Fujifilm and Nikon, as well as HLG and PQ, while custom 17- or 33-point .cube LUTs can be loaded.
NDI HX3 quad-view plus conventional SDI/HDMI
The AV-19M’s defining feature is integrated NDI HX3 over Ethernet. It can show one NDI source full-screen or up to four NDI sources simultaneously in quad-view, making it particularly useful for multicamera IP productions, control rooms and live events.
For conventional video workflows it provides one 12G-SDI input and one 12G-SDI output, plus one HDMI 2.0 input and one HDMI 2.0 output, with monitoring up to 4K60. Atomos specifies that quad-view and input switching apply to NDI HX3 sources; SDI and HDMI signals are monitored individually full-screen. HDMI-to-SDI and SDI-to-HDMI conversion are also supported.
Tools for exposure, focus and Log workflows
The monitor includes Atomos’ professional image tools: waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, zoom, focus peaking, zebras, Atomos False Color, ARRI False Color and EL Zone False Color. It also offers safe areas, grid markers, cine and social frame guides, anamorphic desqueeze and real-time LUT preview.
Six assignable function buttons on the front panel provide fast access on set. A DIT, director or operator can therefore call up frequently used monitoring tools without repeatedly navigating the touchscreen menus.
7RU rack design for control rooms, video villages and flypacks
The Shogun AV-19M measures 482 × 310 × 60 mm, weighs 5.22 kg and includes integrated rack ears for a 7RU installation. It offers two XLR audio outputs, a 3.5 mm headphone output, two USB-C ports and 4-pin XLR power, with operating power specified at 75 W.
For portable production, Atomos offers an optional custom flypack so the monitor can be transported and deployed more easily for location shoots, live events or temporary video villages.
Price and availability
The Atomos Shogun AV-19M will be available from October 2026 through authorized resellers and the Atomos online store. The suggested price is €1,899 excluding local taxes. A final Greece-specific retail price and availability have not yet been confirmed.

What we think
The most interesting aspect of the Shogun AV-19M is that it does not try to be a recorder, switcher and monitor at the same time. It targets professional setups where those components already exist and the requirement is a large, bright display that can move between SDI, HDMI and NDI workflows without changing the production philosophy. Four-feed NDI quad-view is particularly useful in modern IP workflows, while the lack of integrated recording should be clear to anyone comparing it with the more expensive Shogun AV-19.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Atomos Shogun AV-19M record video?
No. Atomos describes it as a dedicated production monitor and explicitly states that it has no integrated recording or live switching.
How many NDI sources can it display at once?
It can show one NDI HX3 source full-screen or up to four sources simultaneously in quad-view.
Can it show four SDI or HDMI sources in quad-view?
No, according to the official specifications. Quad-view and input switching are limited to NDI HX3, while a single SDI or HDMI source is displayed full-screen.
When does it ship and how much does it cost?
Atomos says shipping starts in October 2026, with a suggested price of €1,899 excluding local taxes. Final pricing in Greece has not yet been confirmed.
