t Super35 Anamorphic and spherical and full‐frame 24mm‐height Anamorphic and spherical*. Almost any aspect ratio can be conjured up: 1.85:1, 2.39:1, 17:9, the list goes on in full‐frame or Super35. With VENICE, Sony is giving users the option to customise their camera by only enabling the features needed, according to their individual production requirements. Licenses will be available to expand the camera’s capabilities with new features including 4K anamorphic and full‐frame.
Fast Shutter
Jello effect is something that we don’t need when filming. VENICE has high speed readout sensor which minimizes the jello effect that are typical in the CMOS sensors.
Phenomenal latitude
VENICE has an exceptional 15+ stops of latitude, with low noise for extraordinary performance in delivering phenomenal images in conditions from searing sunlight to almost no light. VENICE’s real‐ world performance also excels at High Dynamic Range imaging and allows unprecedented creative freedom in grading. More Colours for More Expression VENICE can exceed Rec. 2020 colour space. This means the colour range is wider than DCI‐P3 and can beautifully reproduce the true colour of the scene in front of your lens. This also provides the broad palette in the grading suite using the established workflow of Sony’s third generation LOG gamma encoding (S‐Log3), and Ultra‐wide colour space.
ND FILTERS
VENICE is the world’s first camera of its class with a servo‐controlled 8‐step Mechanical ND filter mechanism built into the camera chassis. It offers a massive ND of 0.3 (1/2 = 1 stop) to ND2.4 (1/256 = 8 stops) range that reduces time lost on set changing external filters. The ND filters also greatly increase VENICE’s flexibility when being controlled remotely on drones and cranes, or in an underwater housing.
VENICE can record images 10bit internal XAVC recording to SxS cards or 16-bit RAW X-OCN via an external recorder.
MOUNT
PL /E MOUNT
VENICE comes with the industry‐standard PL lens mount. It is compatible with all Super35 and full‐ frame PL lenses, spherical and anamorphic. The lens mount includes contacts that support Cooke/i Technology. Lens information is recorded as metadata frame by frame.
E‐mount offers unsurpassed compatibility with Sony lenses. E‐mount (lever lock type) gives users the ability to change lenses by rotating the locking collar rather than the lens itself, which means that in most cases lens support rigs don’t need to be removed, saves time during a production.
15 STOPS exposure latitude are other expected features that sony has packed into this camera.
Colour Management & On‐Set Workflow
Catalyst Browse and the RAW Viewer are free software downloads for colour grading and transcoding capabilities that work in close alignment with third‐party colour grading applications and also with non‐linear editing systems.
This Sony Cine Alta VENICE 6K Camera specifications promises that of new chapter imaging technology.
Camera will start shipping from February 2018.
