FRAME.IO - CAMERA TO CLOUD (C2C)

Simultaneously record high-quality “hero” and bandwidth- efficient “proxy” files with matching filenames and timecode

Full-resolution “hero” clips (at up to 4Kp30 ) can be recorded in either Avid DNxHR/HD, Apple ProRes, and Apple ProRes RAW, whilst Proxies will be recorded at 1080p resolution in H.265.

Here's how you can set up your SHOGUN CONNECT for Frame.io workflows:

  1. Select Frame.io as the destination in ATOMOS Cloud Studio.
  2. You'll be prompted to log in to your Frame.io account. Enter your login details in this step.
  3. In the next dialog, allow ATOMOS Cloud Studio to access your Frame.io account.
  4. Whilst your ATOMOS Cloud Studio account pairs with Frame.io, you'll return to the Devices tab.
  5. Once paired, you will be able to select a Frame.io project as a media destination for your device.
  6. Frame.io will now appear at the bottom of the device box in ATOMOS Cloud Studio. Activate the toggle switch to establish connection to the previously selected Frame.io destination.
  7. Log into your Frame.io acount in a new browser window and navigate to the project you defined as a media destination for your device. Proxy files will be sent and stored in the individual camera folder.
  8. If you take a look at your SHOGUN CONNECT's CONNNECT menu now, it indicates that the Device Mode is Frame.io C2C. The selected Frame.io project will also appear at Destination.
  9. Now that you are connected to a Frame.io project, recording a clip on your SHOGUN CONNECT will generate a 1080p, H.265 (HEVC) proxy file that is automatically uploaded to the Frame.io project you selected.
  10. After recording is stopped, a green arrow on screen indicates that the file is being uploaded to Frame.io. Once the upload is complete, your SHOGUN CONNECT displays a green circle icon to indicate that the connection is idle.
  11. Now that the files from your SHOGUN CONNECT are uploaded to Frame.io, they can be moved, copied, annotated or shared like any other asset in your Frame.io project.

Note: The only route to pair your Atomos device to Frame.io is via ATOMOS Cloud Studio. It can not be paired from within Frame.io by using the 6 digit code method.

Note: The Proxy file upload status queue can only be checked by switching to playback mode but files will not upload whilst in playback mode.

Note: Any files recorded whilst not connected to the network will be stored locally on SSD and get automatically queued for upload once connection is re-established.

Note: Proxy files are sent to Frame.io in serial, one after the other, and upload speeds are not optimized.

Note: Proxy files are set to record in a fixed bit rate.
