Sony announces two models, the top digital cinema camera, such as a newly developed 8.6k full frame sensor installed, Venice 2

Sony will launch two models of VENICE 2, the top digital cinema camera, in February 2022.The lineup and price (tax included) are as follows.

・ CINEALTA Camera "VENICE 2 8K": Open price (market assumed price is around 6,800,000 yen) ・ CINEALTA camera "VENICE 2 6K": Open price (estimated market price is around 6,200,000 yen) ・ AXS Memory Card A series "AXS-A1TS66"]: Open price (estimated market price is around 528,000 yen)

"VENICE 2" is newly developed 8.Two digital cinema cameras equipped with a 6K full frame image sensor and a 6K image sensor.The two aircraft can record the internal record of the recording format X-OCN developed by the company, which can be recorded in the scenes of 16-bit scene linear data, to achieve a smaller weight of the shooting system.

"VENICE 2 8K" is a newly developed 8.Equipped with a 6K full frame CMOS image sensor, achieves clear high quality in detail.In addition, the vast latabidation of 16 stops exceeding "VENICE" can express a rich gradation from highlight to the dark under a wide range of brightness conditions, and realizes beautiful images and natural skintoons.

In addition, both models support X-OCN or Apple 4K Prores 4444 and 422 HQ recording formats.As a result, compared to when the "VENICE" and the portable memory recorder "AXS-R7" are installed, "VENICE 2" achieves 44 mm miniaturization and about 10%lighter in length, and mobilty at the time of shooting.Has improved.By selecting the reading area of the sensor, one unit supports various video production applications.

"VENICE 2 8K" uses the imaging area of the full frame sensor to the maximum 8.6K 3: 2 30fps production of high -resolution content and 8.5K 17: 9 60fps 8K program production, and even more film production, SUPER35mm equivalent to SUPER35mm 5.8K 17: 9 90fps and 5.8K 6: 5 48 FPS can shoot with anamphic lens."VENICE 2 6K" corresponds to the same sensor reading area as "VENICE".

Main characteristics

1.New development 8.With a 6K image sensor, it realizes high -definition expressions and 16 -stop wide lati tude

"VENICE 2 8K" is a new development 8.Equipped with a 6K full frame CMOS image sensor, high resolution and delicate depictions to details are realized.In addition, a 16 -stop latabidation, which is wider than a 6K sensor, can express gradation under a wide range of brightness conditions.This allows you to express depth images and natural skint tones.

In addition, the unique dual -based ISO function, which can use two types of reference sensitivity in brighter and dark situations, supports the standard sensitivity ISO 800/3200 and higher sensitivity that has evolved further than "VENICE".Including studio shooting with lighting environment, low -no -noise and beautiful images are realized in dark scenes such as outdoor sunset.

2.Improves mobility by reducing smaller weight by compatible with built -in records on the main unit

"VENICE 2" supports the internal record of the main unit with Apple 4K Prores 4444 and 422 HQ, including the record format X-OCN developed by Sony, which can be recorded in 16-bit scene linear data.The unnecessary external recorder achieves 44mm miniaturization and about 10%lighter in length, improving mobility.It will demonstrate the power in a narrow car, inside the aircraft cockpit, and a gimbal or drone.

Up to 6.When using the new AXS card "AXS-A1TS66" that can write 6Gbps high-speed writing, high-bit rate images such as 8K 60p can be recorded.

3.With a design that can be replaced with image sensor blocks, flexible operation is possible according to the shooting environment

8.6K and 6K image sensor blocks are designed to be replaced, and can be used at various resolutions according to the operation.Also, since it is compatible with the current "Venice", for example, the "VENICE 2 8K" model can be used as a 6K model by attaching the sensor block of "VENICE".Since the camera itself automatically recognizes the change, it can be used immediately without the need for firmware replacement or reinstallation, and can be flexible in accordance with the shooting environment on the site.

4.Improve user voices and improve usability

"VENICE 2" is a dual bass ISO, an eight -position optical ND filter, a design with intuitive operability, a paint menu that can control various parameters with a camera with the S700 protocol and various parameters with paint functions.While inheriting the main features of VENICE, we will further improve user voices and further improve usability.The following items are newly supported.
