Atomos has announced a new firmware update for its Ninja TX GO and Ninja TX monitor-recorders, enabling ProRes RAW recording from the Canon EOS R6 hybrid mirrorless camera.
Firmware update 12.2.1 unlocks the “full potential” of the Canon EOS R6 Mark III with pristine ProRes RAW recording.
Ninja TX supports a maximum video resolution of 6960 x 3672 up to 30P, and 4320 x 2278 up to 60P. Ninja TX GO has a maximum resolution of 4320 x 2278 up to 60P.
Both Ninja TX GO and Ninja TX offer camera control of the EOS R6 Mk III over USB-C.
“The release of the Canon EOS R6 Mark III is a landmark moment for hybrid creators, and we are thrilled to offer support for this incredible camera,” said Peter Barber, CEO of Atomos.
“By unlocking ProRes RAW recording on the Ninja TX and Ninja TX GO, we’re giving filmmakers the ability to capture every bit of detail the EOS R6 Mark III sensor is capable of.”
Ninja TX GO and Ninja TX are Atomos’ next-generation, on-camera monitor-recorders designed for professional filmmakers and content creators.
Both combine a bright, high-resolution five-inch HDR touchscreen display with advanced recording capabilities, supporting formats like Apple ProRes RAW, ProRes RAW HQ, ProRes LT, 422 & 422 HQ and Avid DNx for high-quality, edit-ready footage.
Both devices also offer real-time monitoring tools such as EL Zone, waveform, focus peaking and LUT support, with camera control/touch focus on supported cameras.
They record directly to CFexpress cards over HDMI (Ninja TX GO) or SDI & HDMI (Ninja TX), enabling long recording times and fast post-production workflows.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is a hybrid mirrorless camera with a 32.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor, a DIGIC X processor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II.
It features high-speed continuous shooting at up to 40 fps, up to 8.5 stops of in-body image stabilisation, and advanced video capabilities including 7K 60p RAW and oversampled 4K up to 60p. The camera also has a single CFexpress Type B and a single SD UHS-II card slot.
