Activation Menu

The Activation page allows you to activate the Apple ProRes RAW, Avid DNx and H.265 codecs, and other features like SDI RAW on your NINJA V.

If you don’t see the Activation menu tab, you will need to update your NINJA V to firmware version 10.6 or above.

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.

my.atomos.com

The my.atomos.com site allows you to manage all of your ATOMOS devices in one place. By registering your products, you can then activate codecs and features, download user manuals and firmware updates. Registration also extends your warranty from 1 to 3 years from the date of purchase. For more information on my.atomos.com refer to atomos.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5133805061007-Using-my-atomos-com

After scanning the QR code, my.atomos.com will open 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 ‘Register a Device’ page will open and the following fields will already be pre-filled:

• Product name

• Activation ID (AID) (located in the Activation Menu tab on your NINJA V)

• Device ID (DID) (located in the Info Menu tab on your NINJA V)

Complete the following fields:

• Serial Number (located in the battery slot)

  Enter the serial number exactly as shown, and ensure that all letters and numbers are entered correctly. Take extra care to ensure that 0 (zero) and O (the letter O) are not confused for one another.

• Purchase Date

• Reseller (where you purchased your NINJA V)

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

My Atomos Devices Page

The My Atomos Devices page lists all of your registered ATOMOS products.

Tap on the NINJA V image to open the device page, where you can view the information and upgrade options for your NINJA V. The Features tab displays the codecs and other features that can be activated for your NINJA V, as well as those that are already activated. The Firmware Updates, Product Manuals and Connect tabs provide additional support that is specific to your device.

Activating codecs or features on the Activation Tab

On the Features tab, click to activate your chosen codec/s or features 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.

On the Features tab, click the Activate Now button on the codecs or features you want to activate. Once you have selected all the codecs and features that you want to activate, click on Download Token in the top right corner. A token containing activations for the selected codecs and features will then be downloaded, so that you can load it onto your device. The token 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 NINJA V. 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.

Manually registering devices and activating codecs and features

If you prefer, you can manually register products and activate codecs at my.atomos.com instead of scanning the QR code.

Navigate to 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 Atomos Devices from the left hand navigation pane and click Register Device.

Once the Register a Device screen opens, select NINJA V 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 Menu tab on your NINJA V)

• Purchase Date

• Reseller (where you purchased your NINJA V)

Navigate to the Activation menu page on your NINJA V and use the Activation ID (AID) on that page to complete the Activation field. Tap on Submit to open the ‘My Atomos Devices’ page.

Once on the ‘My Atomos Devices’ page, follow the steps listed above at 'Activating codecs or features on the Activation Tab'.
