Sony VENICE 2 Digital Cinema Camera
Description
VENICE 2 is a cinema camera created by and for the cinematographer. The camera comes with one of two full-frame image sensors, each offering exceptional picture quality. Thanks to new internal recording capabilities, users can capture even more colours and detail within the compact body they already know.
VENICE 2 offers a choice between 8K and 6K sensors, both of which boast incredibly wide latitude and gamut. Filmmakers have greater freedom of expression in grading than ever before, with either 16 or 15+ stops of latitude and exquisite colour rendition.
36x24mm Full-Frame Sensor for Cinema
VENICE 2 features one of two 36x24mm full-frame image sensors, designed speci?cally for the demands and performance of high-end cinematography. Each offers remarkable sensitivity, latitude and colour rendition, and because the sensor blocks are interchangeable, users can easily switch between sensors—without any extra firmware—and can even use the sensor from their original VENICE. The new 8K sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 8640 x 5760, while the established 6K sensor offers up to 6048 x 4032. Both offer powerful oversampling for incredible 4K images.
Virtual Production made simple
Up to 8K recording, 16-bit colours and a very fast sensor readout speed allow cinematographers to focus on the art of shooting virtual sets rather than technical compromises. The flawless synch with advanced Crystal LED controllers is unique in the industry. In addition, there is enhanced support for third-party LED display via Genlock phase shifting and the ability to display the locked frequency in the sub-display.
Interchangeable Image Sensors?
VENICE 2 allows you to easily remove and replace the image sensor, swapping between the 8.6K and original 6K image sensor as required. This also means a 6K sensor can be swapped between VENICE and original VENICE 2.?
Colour fidelity of In-Camera VFX
VENICE 2 Version 3.0 update introduces the “In-Camera VFX Mode”. This setting includes parameters such as “Wall Temperature” and “Light blend ratio” to enhance color fidelity when mixing practical lighting and LED volumes as lighting in In-camera VFX. These setting parameter are recorded as metadata on X-OCN and baked into ProRes.
