Blackmagic has announced that its URSA Cine Immersive industrial digicam for taking pictures high-quality 3D immersive video is now obtainable to preorder “direct from Blackmagic Design Workplaces,” with the primary deliveries going out in early 2025. The digicam, which might allow extra immersive content material for the Imaginative and prescient Professional, prices $29,995 — or a mere 8.6 Imaginative and prescient Professionals.
First revealed in June, the Cine Immersive will let cinematographers shoot 90fps video in stereoscopic 3D at 8160 x 7200 decision per eye — or greater than twice the estimated per-eye decision of the Imaginative and prescient Professional’s screens. They’ll be capable to edit the footage utilizing the proprietary Apple Immersive Video format in DaVinci Resolve Studio, which Blackmagic plans so as to add help for early subsequent yr.
Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty mentioned the DaVinci replace will allow “a real end-to-end workflow for Apple Immersive Video.” He added that the corporate is “wanting ahead to working carefully with filmmakers” on immersive movies forward of the digicam’s wider launch later in 2025.
Blackmagic included photos of the digicam in its e mail to The Verge. It seems cool, so I’ve included them on your perusal:
The Imaginative and prescient Professional has some immersive content material outdoors of Apple’s movies — in apps like Amplium or Discover POV — however none of them fairly have the standard of Apple’s movies. Till now, Apple has been the one firm producing content material with its format, and solely a handful of such movies can be found at this level. That might change, finally, if studios reap the benefits of Blackmagic’s new digicam and DaVinci replace.
