Equipped with a 36x24mm full-frame image sensor, designed specifically for the demands and performance of 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 24.9×18.7mm, 4096 x 3024 resolution (equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film) and Super35 24.9×14.0mm 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 18mm-height Super35 Anamorphic and spherical and full-frame 24mm-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.

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.

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.

High Frame Rate
The optional High Frame Rate license allows VENICE to shoot at speeds of up to 120fps at 4K 2.39:1, and 60fps at 6K 3:2 as well as up to 110fps at 4K 17:9, 90fps at 6K 2.39:1, 72fps at 6K 17:9, 72fps at 6K 1.85:1 and 75fps at 4K 4:3 with anamorphic license.

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.

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.

Anamorphic look
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.

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.

Built-In ND Filter
Mechanical Filter Wheel with Clear, 1 Stop (1/2), 2 Stop (1/4), 3 Stop (1/8), 4 Stop (1/16), 5 Stop (1/32), 6 Stop (1/64), 7 Stop (1/128), 8 Stop (1/256) ND Filters

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.

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.

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.

4K monitor out
6G/12G-SDI switchable output enabling single 4K SDI output during RAW/X-OCN and HD simultaneous recording using a single BNC cable to simplify on-set operations.

Sony Rialto Camera Extension System for Sony VENICE

When you need to mount your VENICE camera on a stabilizer, shoot from a helicopter, or fit it into a tight space, the Sony Rialto Camera Extension System enables you to remove the sensor block and extend it by 2.7m (9.8ft) or 5.5m (18ft) away from the camera body with no loss of image quality. This allows you to acquire images remotely with the same 6K image quality and functionality the VENICE is known for.

Not only does the Rialto maintain all the VENICE’s functions, it also adds an SDI monitor output and power output at the sensor end of the extension. The 12/24 VDC output enables powering accessories, and the monitor output is useful for an on-camera monitor when hand-holding the sensor block case. The sensor block case also features mounting holes on all top, bottom, and both sides as well as the back, for mounting onto camera supports or handheld rigs.

• Mounts onto Front of VENICE
• Enables Extending Sensor up to 18′ Away
• Includes 9′ Cable and 9′ Extension Cable
• Maintains Full Camera Functions
• Adds Monitor and Power Output
• 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 Mounting Holes

Maintains Image Quality
There is no degradation in image quality when using the Rialto whether shooting with the standard 9′ separation or using the extension cable for a maximum 18′ of separation.

Enhanced Mobility
Separating the camera body and image sensor block by up to 18′ provides 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 with PL mount and 3 lb with E-mount.

Advanced Features
The CBK-3610XS does not compromise any of the camera’s features as it preserves the use of all the advanced features the VENICE offers, such as its built-in 8-step glass ND filter system and Dual Base ISO.
Extension Adds Flexibility
In addition to being able to mount the sensor in places the VENICE would not otherwise be able to fit into, the Rialto adds an HD-SDI output as well as either 12 or 24 VDC output for powering accessories such as lens servo motors and monitors.

Accessory Power
The VENICE camera body plate has a 24 VDC input connector (Fischer 3-pin). This makes it possible to provide 24 VDC output at the camera head using a Fischer 3-pin cable. When 12 VDC output is required, the Hirose 4-pin connector on the VENICE camera can be utilized by using Hirose 4-pin to Fischer 3-pin cable.
The Rialto components feature multiple 1/4″-20 mounting points, while the sensor block case also features 3/8″-16 mounting points.
