Activation Menu

The Activation page allows you to activate the Apple ProRes RAW, Avid DNx and H.265 codecs, and other features on your SHOGUN CONNECT.

If you have previously activated these codecs, you do NOT need to activate these codecs again.

Activating Codecs and Features

To activate codecs or features, use the camera on your smartphone to scan the QR code on the Activation page. Tap on the notification that appears, and you will be taken to my.atomos.com in your browser.

You will be prompted to register as a new user, or login if you are an existing user to your my.atomos.com account. Once you have logged into your account, the ‘Product Registration’ page will open and the following fields will already be pre-filled:

• Product name

• Activation ID (AID)

• Device ID (DID)

Complete the following fields:

• Serial Number (located in the battery slot)

• Purchase Date

• Reseller

Then tap on Submit to open the ‘My Products’ page.

My Products Page

The product page lists all of your registered ATOMOS products. Tap on the SHOGUN CONNECT image to open the product page, where you can view the information and upgrade options for your SHOGUN CONNECT. The Features tab displays the codecs and other features that can be activated for your SHOGUN CONNECT, as well as those that are already activated. The Firmware Updates, Warranty and Product manuals tabs provide additional support that is specific to your device. Click to activate your chosen codec/s or features on the Features tab and create an activation token. This can then be downloaded from the my.atomos.com page and will also be emailed to your registered email address.

The token will download as a .zip folder, so you will need to unzip the folder to access the files inside. On a Mac, simply double click on the zip file to unzip it.

Place the activation.bin file on the ROOT of your media and insert the media into your SHOGUN CONNECT. The token file will be detected and automatically open the activation page, allowing you to install the codec/s.

This method allows you to activate both codecs and add other activation keys, which will unlock further features on your device.

A single activation token will support all functions unlocked on your device via my.atomos.com.

The activation token will remain in your account on my.atomos.com and also be emailed to your registered address.

Alternatively, you can manually register products and activate codecs at my.atomos.com

You will be prompted to register as a new user, or login if you are an existing user to your my.atomos.com account. Then select My Registered Products from the left hand navigation pane and click Register a Product.

Once the Register Your Product screen opens, select SHOGUN CONNECT from the drop-down menu under the Product Name field.

Complete the following fields:

• Serial Number (located in the battery slot)

• Device ID (DID) (located in the Info tab)

• Purchase Date

• Reseller

Navigate to the Activation menu page on your SHOGUN CONNECT and use the Activation ID (AID) on that page to complete the Activation field. Tap on Submit to open the ‘My Registered Products’ page.

Once on the ‘My Registered Products’ page, follow the steps listed previously in the QR code activation section from the ‘My Registered Products’ page section onwards, as the process is the same.
