Design of CineAlta camera
“VENICE”VENICE adopts a metal housing made of magnesium and aluminum in a simple extruded body with round corners, achieving high robustness for reliable shooting even in harsh environments. In addition, control panels for simultaneous settings by multiple operators are installed on both sides of the camera for large-scale team shooting, such as in Hollywood movies. Pursuing simple and reliable operability, thorough research and feedback were sought regarding the placement of the buttons on the panels, according to the roles of the cinematographer and assistant. Further, its modular structure allows users to separate the image sensor block from the camera body and shoot at a maximum distance of 5.5m via the extension cable.*1
With high mobility, VENICE contributes to innovative content production such as 3D movies and VR (virtual reality) live music shooting, in addition to gimbal shooting as well as shooting in confined places such as within a car or airplane cockpit, which was difficult in the past.
