Blackmagic has introduced that its URSA Cine Immersive industrial digital camera for capturing high-quality 3D immersive video is now out there to preorder “direct from Blackmagic Design Offices,” with the primary deliveries going out in early 2025. The digital camera, which may allow extra immersive content material for the Vision Pro, prices $29,995 — or a mere 8.6 Vision Pros.
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 Vision Pro’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 12 months.
Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty stated the DaVinci replace will allow “a real end-to-end workflow for Apple Immersive Video.” He added that the corporate is “trying ahead to working carefully with filmmakers” on immersive movies forward of the digital camera’s wider launch later in 2025.
Blackmagic included pictures of the digital camera in its e mail to The Verge. It seems cool, so I’ve included them to your perusal:
The Vision Pro has some immersive content material exterior of Apple’s movies — in apps like Amplium or Explore POV — however none of them fairly have the standard of Apple’s movies. Until 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 may change, finally, if studios benefit from Blackmagic’s new digital camera and DaVinci replace.
