NINJA or SAMURAI out of EPIC, what is best ?

[LEON J-L]

I am wondering what is better, has anyone used the two, Ninja and samurai ?
Thank you

[Mark Toia]

The SAMURAI works well with the EPIC.
Only issue I have with these boxes (and others) is the screens are not bright enough.
Make sure you buy a HOODMAN for it.

Used to used the ninja on the af100, and I now use the samurai on my RED.

As long as you can use SDI, do it. HDMI can sometimes be a "bag of hurt" nno lock fragile and thick.

Thank you all

I'm not sure RED will ever transmit additional info (clip name etc.) via HDMI.

Get the Samurai – or the PIX if you want extra channels of excellent audio.

[Loic Parent]

Samurai is more suited to the Epic, but as of now there is no metadata, no d-tap and a really dark screen..
(also worth noting i never managed to get the epic to work in 1080 via HDMI with the Ninja only 720p..)

[Sami Sinervä]

Ninja does NOT work with the Epic if you want 1080p. Already tried, and it has to do with that the Epic does not have a 50i feed for the HDMI.

Thank you again, all of you, these are precious advices, of course Samurai is the way to go, except the metadata ?

Atomos says it's coming.
