About Sony VENICE 4K Live Bundle with MultiDyne SilverBack Fiber-Optic Adapter

Emotion in Every Frame

Sony proudly introduces the next generation motion picture camera system, forward thinking to large format production, the VENICE.

VENICE features a newly developed full-frame image sensor. This camera has been created based on significant feedback from film industry professionals.

Regardless of any changes in technology or economy, our mission remains the same: to satisfy the ever-increasing demands of creative minds. Sony is committed to further elevating image quality and improving the visual experience so that filmmaker and audience can feel emotion in every frame.

With this in mind, the CineAlta logo symbolizes ’infinity’, which can also be thought of as ‘unlimited creative possibility’ and ‘endless pursuit of perfecting technology’.

36 x 24-mm full-frame sensor for cinema

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.

SOVEN4KLIVE

Creative freedom

Full-frame full-width 36 mm 6K

In full-frame, you can use the full 6048 pixel width of the sensor for widescreen spherical 2.39:1 or Large Format Scope. Full-Frame can be used creatively in a number of ways – for example, to allow for extra shallow depth of field or super-wide shooting.

Super35 full height 2.0x squeeze anamorphic

For anamorphic shooting and production, Super35 full height 2 x squeeze anamorphic is supported.

Super35 17:9 and 16:9

These popular imager sizes are natively supported by VENICE. Current Super 35 mm PL mount lenses can be used.

SOVEN4KLIVE

The IMAX Experience® with VENICE

The VENICE Digital Motion Picture Camera was created out of intense dialog with cinematographers to capture stunning visuals in almost any format, including full-frame 36 x 24 mm, Super35 and Anamorphic. It is also certified for the ‘Filmed in IMAX’ program due to its stunning imaging quality and integration with IMAX proprietary post-production workflow process. The IMAX program provides best practice guidelines to take advantage of each cameras’ highest possible capture qualities and settings in order to maximize The IMAX Experience®—including IMAX’s exclusive expanded aspect ratio.

SOVEN4KLIVE

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.

Lens mount flexibility

SOVEN4KLIVE

PL lens mount

VENICE comes with the industry-standard PL lens mount. It is compatible with all Super35 and full-frame PL lenses, spherical and anamorphic. The lens mount includes contacts that support Cooke/i Technology. Lens information is recorded as metadata frame by frame.

SOVEN4KLIVE

Lever lock type e-mount

Choose from the growing eco-system of E-mount lenses and, via third-party adaptors, the world of SLR and rangefinder lenses. Lever lock operation provides added security with large lenses, and in most cases lens support rigs don’t need to be removed when changing lens. Switching from PL Mount to E-mount can be done by simply removing six hex screws, while E-mount lens iris operation is controllable via an assignable button.

6K high resolution

The stunning full 6K resolution of the camera can be recorded directly in X-OCN (16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative) file format. Also, XAVC 4K can be captured onto SxS cards while still sampling from the full 6K resolution of the sensor.

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.

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.

VENICE's support for anamorphic lenses combined with its ability to shoot 4:3 and 6:5 aspect ratio at a horizontal resolution of 4K allows the capture of breathtakingly beautiful images with stunning lens flare, bokeh and emotional impact.

6K high resolution
The stunning full 6K resolution of the camera can be recorded directly in X-OCN (16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative) file format. Also, XAVC 4K can be captured onto SxS cards while still sampling from the full 6K resolution of the sensor.

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.

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.


- MultiDyne SilverBack V 4K Camera Back Transceiver -

Multipurpose Your 12G, 4K Camera
The SilverBack V provides a robust, full bandwidth fiber optic link between any 12G, Quad-Link or Dual-Link 4K camera and your truck, control room, or "video village" position. The system puts all of the signals needed for multi-camera 4K/UHDTV production onto a single tactical or SMPTE hybrid fiber cable, ensuring robust, trouble-free connectivity on any studio or remote production.

The fiber camera adapter can transport up to one 12G-SDI, two 6G-SDI, or four 3G-SDI signal paths from the camera to the Base Station, and one return path the other way. Full camera control is provided by the camera manufacturer's control panel via serial or a 10/100/GigE Ethernet path. Genlock, intercom, tally, and audio paths are also provided. Operate on a hybrid cable and provide power to the camera or use lightweight, robust tactical fiber and power the camera locally.

Integrated Camera Unit
The compact SilverBack V camera unit mounts to any 12G, Dual-Link, or Quad-Link 4K camera seamlessly, with no angles or sharp corners. The LCD display shows status and controls and is easy for the operator to see, but not intrusive.

When equipped with the integrated "Juice" option, no external power supplies are required; the rear battery plate can be used for back-up power.

Next Generation Base Station
The SilverBack V Base Station is a standard 2RU enclosure with LED status indicators for each signal, as well as a color LCD screen that intuitively displays system status and general health. The base station is available in single and dual-channel configurations. The unit also provides support for two standard widths (2 slots) openGear rear modules that can handle up to four cards.

MultiDyne Innovation
The SilverBack V's system design is modular so a system can be built with various types, amounts, and directions of I/O's. The SilverBack V incorporates the proven connectivity solutions of MultiDyne's decades of experience outfitting production environments for OB vans and production control rooms to create a finely tuned solution for 4K/UHDTV multi-camera production.
