Power Redundancy
The Sumo 19″ requires substantial power. Utilise its dual battery plate for hot-swapping or rely on AC power for studio setups to ensure continuous operation, especially when recording in 4K.
Media Capacity
When recording 4K or high frame rate footage, ensure you have ample storage capacity with Atomos-approved SSDs. Higher quality codecs consume significant data.
Calibration for Accuracy
Given its size and 4K capability, regular calibration is essential for maintaining colour accuracy and consistency, particularly for critical on-set monitoring and client viewing.
Input Management
Familiarise yourself with the multiple SDI and HDMI inputs and how to switch between them effectively. This is crucial for multi-camera setups or monitoring various feeds.
Monitor Placement
Position the Sumo 19″ carefully to minimize glare and maximise the viewing experience. Its large size makes reflections more noticeable in bright environments.
