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.   More colors for more expression VENICE can exceed Rec. 2020 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...  More information about the Sony VENICE can be found at www.sonycine.com  Download Technicolor Look Collection for VENICE here.

Unparalleled flexibility with uncompromised image quality The VENICE Extension System enables cabled separation of the VENICE camera body and image sensor block by up to 5.5 m with no degradation in image quality. The kit consists of a front panel cover, image sensor block case and a 9 ft (2.7 m) cable with an additional 9 ft (2.7 m) extension cable. (VENICE camera is not included.) 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 affix additional accessories and fit with a wide variety of rigs. The Extension System is fully compatible with all existing and future VENICE cameras upgraded to V3 or higher firmware. FEATURES Enhanced mobility and maneuverability Separation of the camera body and image sensor block of up to 5.5 m enables exceptional flexibility when filming with gimbals, handheld, in helicopter/underwater housings, with custom rigs such as those used for 3D/VR content, and shooting scenes in confined spaces such as vehicles. The separated image block weighs just 4 lb (1.9 kg) with PL mount and 3 lb (1.4 kg) with e-mount for the utmost shooting flexibility. Uncompromised image quality When shooting with CBK-3610XS there's no degradation in image quality. Whether shooting with a standard 2.7 m separation or using the extension cable for a maximum 5.5 m separation, you can be sure the image quality is the same as shooting with VENICE in standard configuration. Advanced Features CBK-3610XS preserves full use of the advanced features VENICE offers, such as its built-in 8-step glass ND filter system, Dual Base ISO, and more.
