Sony Burano - A New Era in Cinematography
Versatile, lightweight, and compact full-frame 8K cinema camera with 16 stops of latitude, image stabilization for PL and E-mount lenses. Easily configurable for solo and team production.
BURANO is a new concept in cinema cameras. It takes VENICE’s superior image quality and usability but re-imagines it for solo and small team productions. 33% lighter than VENICE 2, more power efficient and supporting CFexpress media – it’s not just our smallest full-frame CineAlta camera, in many ways it’s our most technically advanced. Expect uncompromising image quality wherever you are, whatever the size of your crew.Smaller, Lighter, Stronger
At 6.39 lb including the PL adapter, BURANO is approximately 33% lighter than Sony’s top-of-the-line VENICE 2 digital cinema camera – a significant advantage when shooting hand-held or shoulder mounted, as well as when using with gimbal, drone, cranes and jibs.All the button and key layouts have been carefully considered to suit the new compact size and solo or team operation. The main cinematography controls are on the Operator Switch Side and can be illuminated for use in dark environments. The camera has tally lights in three positions, so operators can check status from four different directions. There’s also an optional audio beep for recording start and stop.Despite its compact size, BURANO is engineered to Sony’s highest standards of reliability with a housing constructed of sturdy magnesium alloy and aluminum for shooting in the harshest environments. Recording for hours on end is no problem with a highly efficient cooling system, which is completely isolated from the image sensor and other dust sensitive components.Smarter Shooting
BURANO makes shooting the highest quality 8K simpler than you can imagine. The world’s first PL mount compatible camera with a built-in stabilization system*. A ground-breaking combination of our unique electronic variable ND filter system with in-body image stabilization (IBIS) in a full-frame PL and E-mount cinema camera. For the first time in a full-frame CineAlta camera, Fast Hybrid and Subject Recognition AF with AI makes it easier to get the shots you want under the most demanding scenarios. With BURANO, you don’t need a studio or big crew to excel.* As of September 2023, based on Sony research for cinema cameras with standard equipped PL mount

Anamorphic Lens De-Squeeze functionBURANO comes with an anamorphic de-squeeze function as standard. The monitoring menu gives a choice from 1.3x/2.0x, based on the anamorphic lens’ magnification. The result can be seen on the LCD monitor display, and on external monitors at FHD resolution. The camera monitor output supports SDI or HDMI for X-OCN shooting, and HDMI for non-X-OCN content.In-Body Stabilization with PL mount lenses
BURANO is the world’s first cinema camera that supports in-body optical image stabilization (IBIS) for almost any attached lens, including for the first time PL. The new, compact image stabilization system was originally developed for the Alpha series of mirrorless cameras. Featuring a gyroscopic sensor and control algorithm, it compensates for camera shake even for handheld shooting while walking. The stabilization is so effective that it removes the need for any extra equipment for many applications.Stabilization is even greater with E-mount lenses, allowing more difficult shots to be captured without blurring. Camera shake data can be passed to post production for precise alignment with CGI and in volume stages.Electronic Variable ND Filter
Sony’s unique electronic Variable ND Filter has been redesigned to be both smaller and compatible with the built-in image stabilization mechanism. It can smoothly and continuously change its density from 0.6 (1/4) to 2.1 (1/128). With physical ND filters no longer needed, operators can adjust the electronic filter density by simply rotating the ND dial. Operators can maintain a constant depth of field by adjusting the electronic ND filter and the iris control together. Continuous or stepped changes can be selected with the ND STEP/VARIABLE switch, depending on the application. The [Auto ND] function automatically adjusts the filter density to give correct exposure, effectively allowing the use of the ND filter as an alternative Auto IRIS.Catch the action with Fast Hybrid AF*Effortlessly track fast moving subjects with pin-sharp focus, even when using wide lens aperture settings to maintain a shallow depth of field with BURANO’s full-frame sensor. Originally developed by Sony’s Alpha camera engineers, enhanced Fast Hybrid AF combines phase detection AF for fast, accurate subject tracking with contrast AF for exceptional focus accuracy. In addition, Face Detection intelligently recognizes and locks on to human faces.The dedicated 627-point phase detection AF sensor covers approximately 88.7% of the whole image area, allowing consistently accurate, responsive AF tracking, even with shallow depth-of-field.AI Subject Recognition AF with touch*Our onboard AI processing unit recognizes not only eye position but also accurately senses human torso and head positions. Subject Recognition AF automatically draws a frame around people’s faces when they are detected. Human pose estimation technology recognizes body and head position, so you can even track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask.Touch a person to focus on, and the camera will track that person precisely. Even in challenging situations like a bowed head or when hair is covering a face, the camera accurately captures the eyes, so that operators can focus accurately even in the most difficult circumstances.* Over 70 E-mount lenses can use BURANO’s advanced Hybrid AF and AI Subject Recognition AF featuresDual CFexpress Type B Slots
Sony’s new CFexpress card VPG400 allows for reliable capture at exceptional high data rates, including X-OCN LT recording in full 8K.BURANO’s dual media slots allow relay and simultaneous recording*, while versatile CFexpress Type B media are convenient for backing up and transferring data in the field. An additional SD card slot is for storing Proxy and camera setting information.* XAVC-only

Sony CBK-3620XS Realto VENICE Extension System 2
The [CBK-3620XS] is increasing the flexibility compared with [CBK-3610XS] as customers are now able to use both sensors with even more distance between the sensor and the body. This will add the possible usage also on cranes which have been limited before. This model is able to support all features of VENICE 2 and will expand the creativity of DoPs.
Shooting a scene handheld with an impossible sense of freedom comparable to a stills camera. Revolutionizing aerial photography with an array of three cameras inside a jet fighter’s cockpit. The original VENICE Extension was created out of a partnership with a director demanding impossible flexibility for a 3D shoot where there could be no compromise in image quality. The innovative cabled separation of the image sensor and camera body meant cinematographers no longer needed to compromise their vision. Its compact size allowed DoPs to fit truly cinematic lenses and achieve their preferred look in every scene.
Key features
Supports VENICE2 8K high quality images (Compatible with VENICE2-8K/VENICE2-6K/VENICE)
2 new cable lengths, 12m & 3m no repeater necessary (both cables are included in the CBK-3620XS)
Tilt/Roll sensor built-in
3 more assign buttons (4 in total for VENICE2)
Unique technology
Second Generation EnhancementsIncorporating customer feedback and developed alongside VENICE 2, the VENICE Extension System 2 (CBK-3620XS) offers a wider bandwidth to support the VENICE 2 with an 8K sensor, over twice as much cable distance (up to 12 m) without a repeater box, additional control buttons and a built-in gyro sensor. It once again expands the realms of possibility for cinematography. The new Extension System is fully compatible with VENICE 2 using the 8K or 6K sensors, while also supporting the original VENICE camera with extended 12-m cable length. The Extension System also has an HD-SDI output and a 24-V output for powering accessories such as lens servo motors and monitoring. Multiple screw holes on all surfaces make it easy to accessorize and fit on to a wide variety of rigs while the main weight of the camera can be supported elsewhere. There’s no need for a smaller, lighter B-camera for extreme shooting scenarios. You can shoot everything with one modular camera system.
DetailsIdeal for shooting in tight spaces and with gimbalsThe Extension System camera head measures 158 × 147 × 126 mm (H × W × D)*, weighing around 2.2 kg* with a PL mount adapter and 1.7 kg* with E mount when used with the VENICE 2 8K sensor block. The separated sensor block with lens is so small and light it allows for an easy handheld mode, enabling you to locate it in tiny spaces, keeps stabilization systems lightweight, allows use of larger lenses while maintaining a smaller profile, facilitates faster operation for motion-control rigs, use of body mounts, and other situations that you wouldn’t expect possible for a full-frame cinema camera. The creative freedom without any image compromise is boundless.Extends up to 12 meters without a repeaterThe original VENICE Extension System could reach a maximum extension of 5.5 m between the camera head and body. The VENICE Extension System 2 more than doubles that with transmission distance up to 12 m. The original also needed a repeater to connect the middle of the cable between the head and body to reach 5.5 m. The CBK-3620XS extends to 12 m without a repeater. This enables greater freedom of movement and expands the range of shooting possibilities, particularly when used with a crane. The CBK-3620XS also offers both 3-m and 12-m cables. Simply choose the best one for your needs.Gyroscopic support with recording to metadataWhile shooting with the original Extension System did not accommodate use of a spirit level indicator (gyroscope sensor), the CBK-3620XS is equipped with a sensor on the camera head side that detects horizontal and vertical tilt. This allows use of a spirit level indicator and spirit level gauge graphical indicator on the camera's main monitor, even when shooting with the CBK-3620XS. Camera head tilt information can be checked when shooting at different head and tilt angles – ideal for VFX applications. Naturally, the horizontal and vertical tilt are also recorded in the metadata and output through the camera’s SDI.4 assignable (ASSIGN) buttons on camera head for easy operationThe camera head has four ASSIGN buttons that can be set to functions such as change ND filter settings, REC Start/Stop and more for easier operation with VENICE 2. Choose a custom set-up that suits your preference for any scene. Please note the original VENICE is limited to one button operation with CBK-3620XS.Compatible with VENICE* and VENICE 2**The CBK-3620XS was developed alongside VENICE 2 to support both 8K and 6K sensors. It is also compatible with the original VENICE using the latest firmware, however, due that camera’s existing functionality, some CBK-3620XS features may not be available. VENICE does not support spirit level display and recording to metadata, while only one assignable button is functional rather than four.

All this is combined in a compact, lightweight body that provides the performance and mobility to meet the growing demands of today's content creators.Cinematic LookThe FX3 boasts Sony's industry-leading image sensor technology to achieve high processing speeds and outstanding image quality. The full-frame, back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor (approximately 10.2 effective megapixel count for video recording and approximately 12.1 effective megapixels count for stills) and the BIONZ XR image processing engine team up to ensure high sensitivity with low noise. The standard ISO range is 80 to 102,400 (expandable to 409,600when shooting video), and dynamic range is an impressively wide 15+ stopsiv.In response to a growing need for more expressive depth, the FX3, along with FX9 and FX6 Cinema Line cameras, allows users to create a cinematic look without post-production using the S-Cinetone color matrix. Inspired by the color science used in Sony's flagship VENICE camera, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones, plus soft colors and smooth highlights that are essential to create a cinematic look.Creators can record in 4K at up to 120 frames per secondii. Extraordinarily smooth slow-motion imageryvi (up to 5x) at QFHD (3840 x 2160) resolution with autofocus provides new expressive capability.Designed for Comfortable Solo-ShootingSony's most compact and lightweight Cinema Line camera is ideal for handheld shooting, gimbal and drone-mounted work. It weighs just 1.58 lbs. (715 g), including the battery and memory cards, and the body is only 5.11 in x 3.33 in x 3.06 in (77.8 mm x 129.7 mm x 84.5 mm). The camera grip has been carefully designed to provide optimum flexibility, stability and comfort for long shoots.Designed for mobility and efficiency, the FX3's body features five 1/4-20 UNC threaded mounting points to easily attach compatible accessories while remaining light enough for handheld shooting and making it easy to set up and carry. The supplied XLR handle securely attaches to the body via the Multi Interface Shoe without any special tools and provides three additional threaded mounting points for accessories. Optional accessories such as external monitors, recorders, wireless microphones, or other add-ons can be securely attached.To enable 4-channel 24-bit audio recording, the supplied XLR handle includes two balanced XLR/TRS audio inputs and an additional 3.5mm stereo 2-channel jack. With an optional XLR or TRS microphone connected, the XLR adaptor on the handle takes care of the A/D (Analogue to Digital) conversion and DSP (Digital Signal Processing), and transfers the digital audio data directly to the camera for outstanding audio quality. Because the XLR adaptor is integrated into the handle and does not require any additional cables or batteries, it offers easy set up. If the handle is not being used, the FX3 includes a 3.5mm stereo mic input on the camera body.The FX3 provides Fast Hybrid autofocus (AF) by using the 627 pointsvii focal plane phase-detection system during movie recording. The camera is further enhanced with Touch Tracking (Real-Time tracking) where simply touching the desired subject on the monitor screen initiates auto focus and tracking on that subject. Precise and smooth focus is maintained with Real-time Eye AF – technology that pinpoints the eye even when subjects are looking down or up at steep angles. Additionally, other AF features have been included and refined in response to feedback from professional users, including AF Transition Speed, AF Subject Shift Sensitivity, intuitive control and AF support when focusing manually. These AF features have been implemented in the FX3 to ensure stable, flexible and precise focusing in any situation and are easy to operate for solo shoots.The FX3 features 5-axis optical in-body image stabilization – highly effective for handheld shooting. A high precision stabilization unit and gyro sensors have made it possible to provide an Active Modev that is dedicated to movie shooting in each format, including 4K. In-body image stabilization means that effective stabilization can be achieved with a wide range of E-mount lenses, including those that do not include stabilization on their own. Alternately, the FX3 records image stabilization metadata that can be adjusted during post-production using Catalyst Browse/Prepare.Expandability and Operability for Content CreatorsOperabilityFX3 was designed to optimize professional operability. The controls frequently used in movie shooting such as ISO, iris, and white balance adjustment are located on the grip and on the top of the body for easy access. In addition, 140 functions assignable to 15 custom keys allow for ultimate efficiency.The zoom lever located on the top of the grip not only controls compatible powered zoom lenses, but also allows Clear Image Zoom to be used with unpowered zoom and prime lenses – reducing the number of lenses required for many projects. This lever also enables smooth zooming that is difficult for manual zoom-ring control.Recording lamps (tally) are provided on the top, front and back of the camera, so that the operator and talent can easily confirm recording. A side-opening vari-angle touch-panel LCD monitor allows for easy operation and is suitable for gimbal-mounted shots, complicated angles, handheld operation and more. Flexible Exposure Mode allows the FX3 to have a similar Auto/Manual switch operation as other FX series cameras for iris, shutter speed and ISO, which can be set independently.ReliabilityCreators need more than just refined features and performance; they also need reliability and durability. The FX3 combines a fan for active cooling with effective heat dissipation resulting in uninterrupted 4K 60p recording without thermal shutdowni. The newly developed fan provides high-efficiency cooling by drawing air into the camera via the bottom panel and exhausts via the side.The new camera also features a dust and moisture resistant designix and durable magnesium alloy chassis. Moreover, USB PD (Power Delivery) supports fast chargingx for uninterrupted recording.ExpandabilityThe FX3 is compatible with several recording functions including S-Log3 gamma and S-Gamut3.cine, which record in a high dynamic range and wide color gamut. It also supports internal recording in XAVC S™ (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Long GOP) and XAVC S-I (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Intra) formats in 4K (QFHD) and FHD, and XAVC HS™ (MPEG-H HEVC/H.265, 4K only) format. 4K 60p video in 10-bit 4:2:2 or 16-bit RAW formatxi can be output to an external device via the FX3 full-size HDMI Type-A jack.The FX3 also offers two fast, future-oriented media slots that contribute to unprecedented shooting freedom by being compatible with either CFexpress Type A or SDXC cards. The same data can be simultaneously recorded to both cards for backup and a "relay" mode will automatically switch to the second media card when the first media card becomes full during recording.The new camera has been developed with advanced connectivity features to better assist professional creators with high-speed wireless LAN functionality (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandxii) and wired LAN connection via a compatible USB-to-Ethernet adaptor. The FX3 supports video and still file transfers to a specified remote FTP server. This FX3 also allows for remote shooting from a PC using the Imaging Edge Desktop™ application's "Remote" function via Wi-Fi, or Superspeed USB 5Gbps connection over USB Type-C® terminal.FEATURESImage sensor with blazingly fast readout speedThe back-illuminated full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor boasts a blazingly fast data readout speed along with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. An advanced colour filter array boosts colour reproduction accuracy, while focal plane phase-detection AF enables solid autofocus stability and excellent precision, all of which contribute to outstanding image quality.High performance image-processing engine The BIONZ XR™ image-processing engine is designed for high speed, minimising latency while providing impressive real-time processing capabilities. The engine performs real-time processing of AF, image recognition and image quality adjustments, while also handling data transfer, user interface and other camera operations. High sensitivity, wide dynamic range The full-frame sensor enables high sensitivity with low noise throughout the camera's range by optimising the sensor’s output. Capture clear motion even in low light conditions with an impressive ISO expanded range up to 409600. It has an extended dynamic range of 15+ stops, without blown highlights. Together, the camera's high sensitivity and wide dynamic range expand your flexibility in post-production. Acclaimed cinematic colour with S-Cinetone™The inclusion of Sony’s acclaimed S-Cinetone look, inherited from the development of the FX9, allows cinematic colour to be achieved directly in-camera. S-Cinetone is optimised for natural skin tones and mid-range colours, with gentle highlight roll-off, for impressive subject depiction even without post production grading.All-Intra internal recordingIn addition to Long-GOP inter-frame compression, internal intra-frame (All-Intra) recording is supported. XAVC S-I recording compresses each frame independently at a high bitrate, up to 600Mbps, so is ideal for capturing complex motion, and allowing maximum flexibility and playback performance during post-production. 4K High Frame Rate 120fps recordingYou can record full-frame 4K (QFHD) at up to 120fps with autofocus thanks to the high-speed readout capabilities of the image sensor and the powerful BIONZ XR processor. Even at high frame rates, 4K (QFHD) images are captured using full-pixel readout without binning, for clear post-produced slow motion (up to 5x slower than real time). The high-precision AF even allows beautiful full-frame bokeh to be achieved during slow motion shooting.16-bit RAW data outputFacilitating improved image quality and more flexible and efficient editing in post production, the FX3 supports 16-bit RAW data output to an external recorder via the HDMI Type-A terminal. RAW video output is from a full-frame image sensor with 4264 x 2408 [16:9] resolution, to suit 4K (QFHD) or DCI-4Kworkflows, with a choice of frame rates (59.94p/50p/29.97p/25p/23.98p).HEVC codec with high compression efficiencyXAVC HS format recording, using the MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec, roughly doubles the compression efficiency. Compared to a normal 4K XAVC S format, XAVC HS allows for detailed 10-bit video with 4:2:2 colour sampling at comparable or lower data rates, delivering even better image quality as well as manageable file sizes. Proxy recording for more efficient editing workflow Low bit-rate HD proxy files can be recorded simultaneously with higher bit-rate formats such as XAVC S-I 4K, and these smaller proxy files can then be used for editing and previewing prior to final production delivery. This reduces computer load and allows faster and more efficient workflows. Proxy files can be captured in either 10-bit XAVC HS (1920 x 1080) or 8-bit XAVC S (1280 x 720). Expand your vision with Creative LookLooks emulate pro monitoring and post-production tools inside the camera. The Creative Look presets are available in-camera, and each of these can be used as is, or further customised using individual parameter settings such as hue, colour depth, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. Fine adjustment of preset looks can be made according to the user's preference, and you can also register your favourite settings as a custom look.Flexible exposure modeFlexible Exposure Mode allows the Auto and Manual modes for iris, shutter speed and ISO to be set independently. The lock function, activated by a short press on the respective custom buttons, locks the related controls to prevent changes if the dial or wheel is accidentally moved. The frequently used iris and ISO can be controlled by the easily accessible front and rear dials as well as by the dial on the top panel.Fast Hybrid AF for dependable focus during movie shooting Fast Hybrid AF combines focal plane phase-detection AF with contrast-detection AF. This results in highly precise, smooth tracking of fast-moving subjects even over a wide range with a shallow depth of field. AF Transition Speed and AF Subject Shift Sensitivity parameters allow more flexible focus control, as demanded by professional users.Fast, easy touch focus controlTouch focus control allows you to precisely specify the point of focus simply by touching the LCD monitor. It's fast, easy, and intuitive to perform rack focusing through touch operation—ensuring you have full creative control of the FX3's powerful AF technology. Cage-free accessory mounting Five 1/4-20 UNC mounting screw holes allow stable attachment of accessories directly to the camera body, without the need for a cage. Three additional mounting holes are also available on the included XLR handle. The result is a system optimised for incredible mobility and hand-held shooting as well as quick setup for fast-moving productions.REC lamps and highlighting during video recording There is one tally light on the front and one on the back, and an LED-illuminated REC button on top that works with the tally lights. In addition, by displaying a red frame on the monitor screen during video recording, even if the screen is difficult to see with a rig or gimbal attached, you can immediately confirm recording status. Light operation can be set on or off for specific applications.Flexible camera positioning with vari-angle monitorThe FX3 is equipped with a horizontally opening vari-angle LCD monitor that is rotatable for precise framing or interesting angles, regardless of whether you are shooting movies hand-held or gimbal mounted. The screen can even be rotated for direct viewing by the subject or when shooting dramatic low angle shots. The 3.0-type, approximately 1.44 million-dot large touch panel LCD has high visibility and clarity. Power for professional lengthFor extended shooting sessions, the FX3 is compatible with large-capacity NP-FZ100 batteries. USB-PD (Power Delivery) support also enables fast chargingor continuous shooting when connected to a compatible USB Type C® power supply or portable powerbank battery. Reliable durability and weather resistance in tough situationsIn response to feedback from working professionals, sealing has been applied to all body seams and around the battery and media compartments, terminal covers and chassis joints. All routes for dust and moisture entry have been examined to ensure reliable operation in challenging environments.

Sony Venice Base Bundle includes:Camera Body Sony Venice and Viewfinder DVF-EL200
Next generation camera with forward thinking full frame sensor, phenomenal color science and user-friendly operation
Simple and intuitive
Usability and reliability of the camera is one of the major concerns for operators, especially in tough or time-critical filming conditions. With a user-friendly design, clear and simple menu navigation, and a highly durable, reliable construction, VENICE lets you simply concentrate on filming, and not the camera.
Full-Frame sensor for cinema
VENICE features an all-new Full-Frame sensor with the classic 36 x 24-mm dimensions that have been a staple of photography for over 100 years. Designed exclusively for high-end cinematography, this sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032.
Switchable imager modes mean VENICE can support an unprecedented number of cinematic aspect ratios for complete creative freedom:
Full width 36 mm 6K
In full-frame, you can use the full 6048 pixel width of the sensor for 6K imager modes such as 3:2, 2.39:1*, 1.85:1, 17:9, and 16.9*. Equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film, these 6K modes allow for extra-shallow depth of field, super-wide shooting, and other creative effects.
Super35 anamorphic 4K
For super-wide screen productions, VENICE offers two full-height 2x squeeze anamorphic imager modes that include 6:5 and 4:3 recording modes for 12:5 (known as 2.39:1) and 8:3 (2.66:1) scenes, respectively.
Explore how VENICE can meet your production requirements with the firmware and licensing requirements in the aspect ratio chart:
Fast shutter
VENICE’s high-speed readout sensor minimizes the jello effect typical in 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 colors for more expression
VENICE can exceed Rec. 2020 color space. This means the color range is wider than DCI-P3 and can beautifully reproduce the true color 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 color space.

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 color space.
Dual Base ISO
VENICE has a base ISO of 500 to provide the optimal dynamic range for typical cinematography applications with on-set lighting. A secondary High Base ISO of 2500 excels in low-light High Dynamic Range capture, with an exposure latitude from 6 stops over to 9 stops under 18% Middle Gray, for a total of 15 stops. High Base ISO 2500 is ideal whenever you’re using slow lenses or shooting dimly-lit environments. Combining ISO2500 with VENICE’s internal eight-step Optical ND filter system offers the ability to emulate different ISOs while maintaining maximum latitude of +6 and -9 stops, enabling you to use VENICE as an ISO1250 camera.
World’s first 8-step mechanical 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.
Next generation viewfinder
The DVF-EL200 was created as the perfect partner for VENICE. A 1920 x 1080 OLED panel enables precise, high-resolution focusing and framing, including False Color Display at the touch of a button. A rotary encoder provides instant access to brightness, peaking and contrast. An all-new ergonomic design allows for tool-free attachment/detachment and reconfiguring within seconds. The industry-standard LEMO connector offers exceptional durability.
Engineered to survive
VENICE’s chassis is engineered to be amazingly robust and has been rigorously tested in the harshest conditions. Its ventilation system is completely isolated from all electronic components to prevent ingress of dust, sand and splash. The silent-running fan can be cleaned or even swapped out on set quickly and easily.
Easily configurable
VENICE has a fully modular design and even the sensor block is interchangeable. So, as sensor technology advances in far future, you have the opportunity to upgrade without investing in a new camera. In order to maintain ergonomic balance for operators, the top handle and viewfinder are easily adjustable. As the height of the camera from the bottom to the optical center of the lens mount is the same as the F55, base plates and other accessories used for the F55 can be used with VENICE. The AXS-R7 recorder can be attached to VENICE with just four screws.
Additional features of the Venice camera:
native PL- and E-mount (Lever lock type)
anamorphic aspect ratios of 4:3 and 6:5 at 4K for shooting both 2.4:1 and 2.66:1 widescreen
desqeeze function on monitor out for several anamorphic squeeze factors
up to 16bit of tonal range when recording in RAW or X-OCN (16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative) file formats
downsampling from Full Frame Image with 6K resulution to 4K XAVC codec
parallel recording of Proxy Files or XAVC on SxS cards while recording 6K (RAW or X-OCN) on AXS cards
the Select FPS function lets you choose frame rates from 1 frame per second to as high as 120 fps, depending on imager mode. *Note: higher Framerates than 60fps require the HFR License available from summer 2019
several control tools for checking aperture an focus such as: up to 4.0x Dot-by-Dot magnification of the viewfinder image, Surround View (Look Around), High/Low Key, USER 3D LUTs, ACES compatibility
Full menu control via web browser based wired and wireless connection
and much more...
