Atomos NEON 17″ 4K HDR Monitor/Recorder

Foto Crown Provides Atomos NEON 17″ 4K HDR Monitor/Recorder represents a new standard in professional on-set and studio monitoring, offering an advanced blend of image accuracy, HDR support, and recording versatility. Foto Crown offers this state-of-the-art monitor for filmmakers, editors, and DITs who demand precision, consistency, and reliability at every stage of production. Designed for both field and post environments, the NEON 17 ensures your visuals appear exactly as intended—clear, detailed, and color-true.

Professional-Grade Monitoring and Recording

At its core, the Atomos NEON 17 is both a monitoring and recording powerhouse. Featuring a 1920 x 1080 native resolution and support for DCI and UHD 4K signals, it enables professionals to view footage in exceptional clarity while simultaneously capturing it in Apple ProRes or Avid DNx formats. This dual functionality makes it an indispensable tool for any production that values efficiency and visual fidelity.

With a 1000 cd/m² brightness and 128 zones of backlight, the display delivers deep blacks, vibrant colors, and remarkable contrast ratios up to 1,000,000:1. The monitor supports 10-bit image processing and achieves 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, ensuring the images you view are true to the source. Whether you are working in HDR or SDR, the NEON 17 maintains impeccable consistency across all color spaces.

Engineered for HDR Precision

HDR has become a crucial part of modern workflows, and the NEON 17″ 4K HDR Monitor/Recorder has been designed to meet the demands of this evolving standard. Supporting Rec.709, Rec.2100 HLG, and PQ (ST.2084), it can be easily configured to match the acquisition format of your camera or the delivery standard of your project. This ensures every stage—from shoot to grade—retains accurate color representation.

Through its advanced AtomosOS system, the monitor intelligently adapts to different gamma and gamut settings. This capability allows it to accurately represent footage from leading camera manufacturers like ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, and Panasonic. The result is an unmatched visual experience that helps cinematographers and colorists maintain creative control and confidence in their output.

Smart Design and Replaceable Master Control Unit

One of the most innovative aspects of the NEON 17″ is its modular architecture. It features a Master Control Unit (MCU) that runs AtomosOS, the same software powering the entire Atomos ecosystem. The MCU can be replaced, allowing you to upgrade your monitor with future Atomos technology without replacing the entire device.

This upgradable approach not only future-proofs your investment but also reflects Atomos’s commitment to long-term usability. As new formats, codecs, and HDR standards emerge, your NEON 17 remains ready to adapt and evolve alongside them.

Connectivity That Empowers Workflow

When it comes to connectivity, the NEON 17 offers extensive versatility for professional environments. It includes both HDMI and SDI inputs, with a 12G-SDI expansion module included in the box. This enables seamless integration with a wide variety of cameras, from DSLRs to professional cinema rigs. The monitor also supports cross conversion between SDI and HDMI, allowing maximum flexibility during multi-camera shoots or live productions.

With loop-through outputs and support for HD (1080p) up to 120 fps and DCI 4K up to 60 fps, the NEON delivers reliable signal processing without latency or quality loss. Its compatibility with up to 12 channels of embedded audio makes it a complete monitoring hub, simplifying production setups on set or in the editing suite.

Powerful Recording and Instant Playback

The recording capability of the NEON 17 adds another dimension to its performance. It records in Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHR/HD directly onto 2.5″ SSDs (via Master Caddy II) or AtomX SSDmini drives. Each recording can be reviewed immediately, allowing teams to check shots without offloading footage first. This streamlined approach enhances productivity, particularly in fast-paced shooting environments.

The AtomRemote app, available for iOS, gives users complete control over scene, shot, and take naming, along with detailed metadata configuration. This feature ensures that media files are properly organized and ready for post-production, saving valuable time and maintaining workflow consistency.

Advanced Monitoring Tools for Precision

The NEON 17″ 4K HDR Monitor/Recorder includes a comprehensive set of professional imaging tools designed to help users evaluate every frame with accuracy. These tools include waveform monitors, vectorscopes, RGB parade displays, focus peaking, exposure analysis, and LUT support. 

With these advanced utilities, cinematographers can make precise on-set adjustments, while colorists can rely on true visual feedback during grading. The NEON 17 ensures consistency between production and post, minimizing surprises during the final stages of color correction or QC.

Wireless Control via the Atomos App

Adding another layer of convenience, the NEON integrates Bluetooth connectivity for wireless control through the Atomos iOS app. The app allows users to perform playback, slow-motion review, and frame-by-frame analysis directly from their iPhone or iPad. This feature enhances collaboration on set by letting directors, DPs, and editors interact with footage remotely.

Multiple NEON units—up to 1000 devices—can be synchronized and controlled via the same app using sub-gigahertz RF communication. This capability transforms large-scale multi-camera setups into a unified and consistent monitoring network.

Built for On-Set and Studio Durability

Constructed for professional reliability, the NEON 17″ boasts a robust frame designed to withstand daily use in demanding production environments. It comes with support feet and adheres to ARRI-compatible mounting standards, making it easy to install in both field and studio setups. The removable anti-reflective cover glass further enhances viewing clarity by reducing unwanted glare and reflections under bright lighting conditions.

The display’s 178° viewing angle ensures visibility from virtually any position, making it ideal for team environments where multiple operators need to view the same monitor simultaneously. This design philosophy underscores Atomos’s dedication to blending usability with durability, ensuring that every shoot runs smoothly from start to finish.

Optimized for Modern Filmmaking Standards

The Atomos NEON 17″ 4K HDR Monitor/Recorder represents a perfect balance between accuracy, performance, and workflow flexibility. With cutting-edge HDR capability, superior color accuracy, and robust recording options, it’s a powerful tool for modern filmmakers and editors who demand excellence in every frame.

From on-set monitoring to final color grading, this professional display ensures that what you see is exactly what your audience will experience.
