Atomos Ninja 2011 BCPVA VIA award

Las Vegas, Nevada, April 15, 2011
The British Columbia Professional Videographers Association is proud to present Atomos with the 2011 BCPVA Video Innovation Award for the Atomos Ninja.

The 2011 BCPVA VIA was presented to Atomos founders, Jeromy Young and Ian Overliese, by BCPVA delegate Shawn Lam, at NAB 2011.

“2011 will be remembered as the year of the external high definition recorder at NAB 2011 Atomos had the most attractive offerings with their HDMI Ninja and HD-SDI Samurai models. The concept of recording to a higher quality codec, before the video camera compresses it with their lossy codecs, is nothing new, but bringing that technology to a portable camera mountable device makes the concept practical. It is rare to see a piece of technology that so dramatically improves on existing video camera recording quality and Atomos does it with a feature set and attractive price point that makes the Ninja and Samurai must-haves.”
