SDI Cable
SDI cables are robust physically and electrically. You should arely have problems with signal transmission unless your cables are either damaged or too long. Please remember that SDI cables use locking connectors and will not simply pull out if they are pulled or tripped over. They are therefore a significant trip hazard, and also a hazard to your equipment, which may be damaged if the cables are mishandled or of a low grade. Please ensure you test and check your SDI cables; for longer runs cables of a Belden, 1694A specifications is recommended.

HDMI Cable
Atomos have a range of HDMI cables with die-cast connectors and coiled cables in a range of lengths and connections (sold separately).

Connect and power-up

Battery
Shinobi 7 provides dual battery slots that combined with the DC input allow for continuous power operation. With both batteries connected Shinobi 7 will draw power from them simultaneously, if a battery is removed it will automatically switch over to the second battery or the DC power input. This allows you to swap out a depleted battery without having to shut down the monitor.
Touching the battery icons in the top right of your screen will allow you to accurately see remaining battery life. Refer to the User Manual for more information.
AC/DC Power
Alternatively, power your Shinobi from mains power using the included AC Power Adaptor. Simply attached the AC power adaptor to mains power, carefully attach to the DC port on the Shinobi 7, and rotate the locking nut to secure.
The DC input port can also be used with the optional Atomos DTAP to DC cable (ATOMDTPCB2) to supply power to the Shinobi 7 from a DTAP power output. Battery indicators will show that no batteries are attached and the unit is being powered via DC power input.
