The Button Bar is a compact remote control unit that gives you access to the Atomos NEON monitor/recorder functions. It features tactile buttons with adjustable backlight levels and lets you access and control scopes, assist tools, frame guides, LUT previews, and more. With dedicated buttons for record and playback, you can perform functions such as jump into the last take to review the shot, or go frame by frame, or loop the entire clip. DITs can use the Button Bar in combination with the Atomos NEON AtomRemote app for iOS or macOS to define and set the colour pipeline and project settings.

The Button Bar connects to the NEON monitor over an included 2.5mm DC cable for both control and power, so no additional power source is required. Optional longer cables with a LANC connection can be used to extend the distance between the two devices. The Button Bar can be set on a desktop or mounted into your setup via built-in anti-twist 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threads or a NATO rail that runs along the full length of the device.
