Atomos has announced immediate support for Apple ProRes RAW plug-ins, an innovation that it says lets camera manufacturers provide their own ProRes RAW processing pipeline to take advantage of the unique properties of their cameras, sensors, lenses, and more.

ProRes RAW is widely regarded as the universal RAW video format and allows filmmakers to capture and retain more image information, giving them greater control over the post production process. Atomos explained that the introduction of plug-ins means that every camera maker can now provide their own unique processing in a completely confidential way, by writing a single ProRes RAW plug-in that brings out the best quality and unique looks created by their own cameras .

Canon is the first camera maker to deliver a ProRes RAW Plug-in, with the EOS R5 (pictured), R5 C and R6 Mark II cameras outputting RAW to an Atomos monitor-recorder. Atomos has already enabled full ProRes RAW plug-in support for these cameras in the current release firmware for Ninja V, Ninja V+, and Shogun Connect.

This new feature for the ProRes RAW ecosystem is absolutely going to change the way people think about recording ProRes RAW, said Trevor Elbourne, Atomos CEO. For the first time the filmmaker literally gets the best of all worlds: shoot in ProRes RAW with the option to immediately apply camera-specific processing, use standard processing, or customise individual parameters to their own taste. You have to ask yourself: why wouldn't you shoot in ProRes RAW? .

We are very proud to be working alongside Apple and Canon to bring this ProRes RAW innovation to market, he added. We were first to market with an 8K ProRes RAW compatible mirrorless camera - the Canon EOS R5 - and now we are making another huge advancement with the ProRes RAW format.
