Sony Venice
(6K, RAW, High Framerate)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Sony Venice is an absolute powerhouse of a camera, boasting a giant 6K sensor and high framerate, this camera is Sony’s challenger to the Mini LF in both power and versatility; paired with its one of a kind Rialto system, the camera becomes even more versatile with the ability to move around corners and be used as its own, handheld unit. Our Sony Venice includes a whole variety of the best accessories around to make sure this is the best Venice kit on the market, including a wooden camera D-box V-lock system, meaning you can attach any LBUS or lemo capable bit of kit to work with it. We also have an LPL adaptor meaning you can utilize the full-frame sensor to the max with our Arri signature lenses.
36 x 24-mm full-frame sensor for cinema
The Sony VENICE is equipped with a 36 x 24-mm full-frame image sensor designed specifically for high end cinematography, and can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032. By switching imager modes, VENICE can natively support Super35 24.3 x 18.0 mm, 4096 x 3024 resolution (equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film) and Super35 24.3 x 12.8 mm, 4096 x 2160 resolution (equivalent to 3-perforation motion picture film). In other words, VENICE’s new full-frame sensor can capture in almost any format, including full 18 mm-height Super35 anamorphic and spherical and full-frame 24 mm-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 customize their camera by only enabling the features as needed, according to individual production requirements. Licenses are available to expand the camera’s capabilities, including 4K anamorphic and 6K full-frame.
High performance, proven recording formats
VENICE offers complete production flexibility. Internally, VENICE can support XAVC, ProRes, or MPEG HD recording onto an SxS memory card. Additionally, by using the AXS-R7 recorder, it can record 16-bit RAW or X-OCN (16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative) onto AXS memory card.
XAVC
XAVC is the highest-performing implementation of H.264/AVC intra-frame coding. It supports 4K with superb efficiency and beautiful 10-bit pictures. Naturally, VENICE supports XAVC Class480, which is the highest bitrate and quality available.
Apple ProRes
Apple ProRes including ProRes 422 proxy formats are popular in postproduction and are supported by VENICE. This means there’s no need for transcoding; you can simply handle these formats directly from the camera.
RAW
This ultimate 16-bit linear RAW format preserves all the information captured in 4K, with 16 times more tonal values than 12-bit RAW.
X-OCN – 16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative
X-OCN—16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative
Full 4K and 6K resolution, with extraordinary color reproduction, nicely suits Sony’s third generation color development, S-Gamut 3. In particular, 16-bit scene linear tonal gradation retains the camera’s full dynamic range, with far greater capacity for visual expression than 10-bit or 12-bit digital formats.
16-bit X-OCN offers significant file size reduction, which make working with full resolution content from VENICE’s 6K sensor far more practical in terms of file transfer times and storage requirements.
And X-OCN XT captures the highest quality imagery when using the AXS-R7 portable memory recorder. X-OCN XT is ideal for demanding visual effects work and productions requiring the utmost image quality from VENICE. The new X-OCN XT profile maintains economical file sizes comparable to Sony’s RAW file size, making the workflow affordable and efficient. In comparing X-OCN with Sony’s RAW format, X-OCN has superior reproduction in low-light areas and high-light areas. In VENICE’s 4K 17:9 imager mode, users will have the flexibility to record three X-OCN profiles (XT, ST, LT) and Sony RAW.
