Atomos hits refresh with new CEO and broadened product strategy
Atomos Limited has hit the refresh button by shaking up its leadership team with a new CEO and launching four new products including a recurring revenue cloud solutions platform, in a move to diversify its product base and respond to a slower global tech market due to US tariffs. With a traditionally slow third quarter behind it, the Melbourne-based digital video technology disruptor is redefining the landscape to wrest control of its own destiny. Newly appointed boss, Peter Barber will officially lead the charge once he takes the helm next week, replacing co-founder Jeromy Young. 'I believe Atomos has an extraordinary opportunity to expand into new markets, drive broader innovation, and build upon its proud history of pioneering technology.' Atomos Limited chief executive officer-elect Peter Barber Young, who steered Atomos from a garage startup to a globally recognised brand in video production tools, is stepping back into a non-executive director role, ensuring continuity during the shift. Barber brings heavyweight industry credibility, with over 30 years of experience in the video production industry, having co-founded Blackmagic Design and orchestrating substantial corporate plays across the video tech space. According to Young, Barber's forensic knowledge of the industry and his instrumental hand in reshaping Atomos' operations since joining as chief operating officer last year sealed the deal, branding Barber as 'the right leader at the right time.' Barber is stepping up to the plate just as Atomos launched four new innovative products recently at the Las Vegas NAB technology fair, marking the company's most significant portfolio expansion to date. Atomos says the move to release so many new offerings in one hit aligns with a management decision to diversify its product range.

Atomos hits refresh with new CEO and broadened product strategy
Atomos Limited has hit the refresh button by shaking up its leadership team with a new CEO and launching four new products including a recurring revenue cloud solutions platform, in a diversification of its product base and response to a slower global tech market due to US tariffs. With a traditionally slow third quarter behind it, the Melbourne-based digital video technology disruptor is redefining the landscape to wrest control of its own destiny.

Barber is stepping up to the plate just as Atomos launched four new innovative products recently at the Las Vegas NAB technology fair, marking the company's most significant portfolio expansion to date. Atomos says the move to release so many new offerings in one hit aligns with a management decision to diversify its product range. First cab off the rank is the company's brand-new entry into the audio space with its StudioSonic headphones, which are professional-grade monitoring headphones specifically designed for field production, post-production, and live events. In following the wireless trend, Atomos has also launched its TX-RX Series video transmission system, designed to transfer data in a reliable and low-lag format from camera to monitor without the need for messy wires. In probably its boldest move to date, the company has also jumped into the world of artificial intelligence with its new A-Eye PTZ camera range. The AI-powered PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras are remotely controlled devices that can automatically track and frame subjects, adjust setting and even recognise faces. Atomos has pinpointed a wide range of users likely to adopt this product including those working in live production, education, conferencing and the streaming markets. Lastly, the company has launched it ATOMOSphere cloud offering, which allows users to directly upload content from video devices to the cloud for storage and distribution. ATOMOSphere operates as a subscription model, opening up the company to a new and recurring revenue stream. And with the platform open to multiple technologies, the company expects to pick up new clients outside its own existing community. Despite macroeconomic headwinds including rising tariffs which have bruised US sales, Atomos still managed $8 million in cash receipts for the quarter and secured a new $13.7 million debt facility to reinforce its balance sheet. The company was also able to make headway on its cost cutting program with the cash burn easing to $2.3M for the quarter compared to $4.04M for the previous three months. The main savings came from product manufacturing and operating costs which were trimmed down to $6.2M from $7.8M while staff costs were shaved back to $2M from $2.2M in the last period. However, the restructuring efforts are still ongoing with the company expected to slice a further $1M from its monthly fixed costs by July aided by strategic redundancies and cost-cutting initiatives. The company is also pushing toward a direct-to-consumer sales model, particularly in Europe, as a hedge against geopolitical tariff risks. With $6.4 million in available liquidity, the company still appears to have plenty of financial headroom. In a world where tech companies sink or swim on their ability to evolve fast, Atomos is making sure it stays above the waterline—and with Barber now at the wheel, the company's is looking firmly to the future.

Atomos has a new on-camera monitor for budget-conscious videographers
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Atomos announces a new addition to its award-winning Shinobi range of professional monitors with the new Shinobi GO, a slim, lightweight, high-bright, 5-inch 1500nit HDR monitor that's perfect for content creators and photographers who don't need all the bells and whistles of more expensive on-camera monitors but still need a reliable way to track their footage. Shinobi GO follows the successful launch of Shinobi II last year, offering some of the same high-quality monitoring tools as its more advanced sister product, however, to reach the lower price, the Go model has sacrificed features including camera control, touch-to-focus, and other pro monitoring features like EL ZONE. But let's focus on what you do get. The new model includes professional monitoring features like false color, zebra, histogram, waveform, and vectorscope. It is powered by Sony NP-F type batteries (purchased separately) or via the USB-C port using a power bank, offering flexibility for extended shooting sessions. Image 1 of 4 Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4 The monitor comes with a locking connector adaptor for the HDMI and USB-C ports. When used in conjunction with Atomos locking cables (also purchased separately) it prevents accidental disconnections during shoots. Both Shinobi GO and Shinobi II share the same size sunhood and other accessories, making it very convenient to share batteries, cables, rigs, and other attachments for anyone who already owns a variety of Atomos accessories and needs the flexibility to be able to mix and match between their camera set-ups. Shinobi GO costs $249 / £215 / AU$399 and is available to buy now from the Atomos web store and from stores starting today. For professionals requiring more camera control, touch-to-focus, and EL ZONE, these advanced features are available in the Shinobi II for $349 / £295 / AU$545). 'Shinobi GO is designed for people who either do not need camera control or own a camera that supports it. It offers a high-quality, daylight viewable monitor at an affordable price,' commented Atomos CEO Jeromy Young. 'Priced at just USD/EUR 249 excluding sales taxes, Shinobi GO provides exactly what photographers and videographers need without compromising on quality, despite its lower cost. And it comes from a brand trusted by professionals worldwide.' Check out our guide for more of the best on-camera monitors.
