If you’re a filmmaker or content creator striving for the highest video quality, the latest firmware update from Atomos is a game-changer. It unlocks the powerful ProRes RAW recording capabilities of the Canon EOS R6 Mk III when paired with Atomos Ninja TX series monitor-recorders. This update enhances the creative possibilities, enabling filmmakers to capture intricate detail with an improved workflow.
In this article, we’ll explore what this update offers, how the Ninja TX and Ninja TX GO models integrate with Canon’s flagship mirrorless camera, and why this is significant for creative professionals.
Unleashing ProRes RAW Recording
On December 19, 2025, Atomos released firmware version 12.2.1 for the Ninja TX and Ninja TX GO monitor-recorders that enables ProRes RAW recording from the Canon EOS R6 Mk III over HDMI.
Supporting video resolutions up to 6960 x 3672 at 30p on the Ninja TX and 4320 x 2278 at 60p on both devices, this update lets users maximize the sensor capabilities of Canon’s hybrid mirrorless camera.
Advanced Camera Control and Monitoring
Beyond just recording, the firmware provides camera control for the EOS R6 Mk III via USB-C, allowing remote adjustments directly through the monitor-recorder interface.
Both devices feature bright 5-inch HDR touchscreens with real-time monitoring tools such as focus peaking, waveform, EL Zone, and LUT support, ensuring precise image capture.
Why This Matters to Creators
The Canon EOS R6 Mk III is recognized for its 32.5MP full-frame sensor, high-speed continuous shooting, and robust in-body stabilization, making it ideal for both photography and advanced video production. Paired with Ninja TX series devices, creators benefit from Apple ProRes RAW’s unmatched image fidelity and post-production flexibility.
Recordings go directly to fast CFexpress cards (Ninja TX GO via HDMI and Ninja TX via SDI & HDMI), enabling extended shoots without interruption. Professionals gain access to high-quality codec formats like ProRes RAW HQ and Avid DNx, streamlining editing workflows.
Atomos’s Commitment to Innovation
Atomos has consistently pushed the boundaries in video production technology by integrating high-quality touchscreen monitors with professional codecs and removable storage. Their ecosystem supports end-to-end creative workflows—from capture to editing to cloud collaboration.
With a global presence and dedication to enhancing the creator experience, Atomos empowers video makers to focus on storytelling with confidence in their tools.
Firmware 12.2.1 for Atomos Ninja TX and Ninja TX GO exemplifies how hardware and software innovation can unlock the full potential of modern cameras like the Canon EOS R6 Mk III. By facilitating ProRes RAW recording and advanced control, Atomos empowers filmmakers to achieve superior image quality and streamlined workflows.
