For the price, we basically include recording, playback and editing for free. The Shogun Inferno is our final piece in the HDR puzzle. Arming high end cameras and filmmakers with the high frame rate, high resolution, high dynamic range & high brightness monitoring, recording and playback needed to get the most from the amazing sensors crafted by ARRI, Sony, Panasonic, RED and Canon – we truly do upgrade these amazing solutions."
