Atomos ZATO CONNECT Overview
Simultaneously stream and record HDMI and USB video with the ZATO CONNECT from Atomos and its 1920 x 1080 resolution 5.2" touchscreen display. The ZATO CONNECT works as a gateway to the ATOMOS Cloud Studio software thanks to its Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet, and cellular hotspot connectivity. This allows you to fully customize your livestreaming experience by switching between video sources and mixing different audio sources—all with a single, compact device small enough to mount on a DSLR camera rig.
Camera to Cloud Machine
Stream directly to the cloud and edit video for posting later thanks to the Adobe Camera to Cloud integration powered by Frame.io. Upload local H.264 backup to an SD card up to 128GB or to the cloud for real-time collaboration. The CONNECT supports HDMI and USB UVC cameras and video sources and can convert them into formats compatible with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, and other conferencing software.
Stream from Anywhere
Equipped with Wi-Fi 5 and Gigabit Ethernet via USB-C, the ZATO CONNECT can easily connect to your home/work network or cellular hotspot for livestream connectivity virtually anywhere. Stream to Facebook Live, Twitch, or YouTube with ATOMOS Cloud Studio and combine recorded sources with live content. Mount it on top of your camera or integrate it into your switcher configuration. The monitor features a 5.2" SuperAtom IPS LCD panel with capacitive touch. Footage remains visible in both indoor and outdoor applications with the 178° viewing angle and 1000 cd/m² brightness.
Comprehensive I/O
One HDMI input, one HDMI output, and two corresponding USB Type-C ports can transform various video equipment into livestream or webcam sources. The ZATO CONNECT can record up to 1080p60 HDMI video and up to 1080p30 USB video. An L-series battery plate at the back of the monitor is compatible with batteries up to 7.6V. Power can also be delivered via USB-C PD input, DC input via locking DC jack on separately available battery eliminator, or D-Tap via separately available cable.
Built-In Audio Mixer
One 3.5mm audio input integrates a microphone or line source, which can be easily mixed with the embedded HDMI or USB signals thanks to the ZATO's audio mixer. Play back audio from recordings on the inserted SD card with these inputs into a single stereo track. Volume is adjusted independently and monitored via headphone output.
