Next generation camera with forward thinking full frame sensor, phenomenal color science and user-friendly operation.
Reliable partner for creativity
VENICE is a cinema camera created by and for the cinematographer. Itās equipped with a newly developed full-frame image sensor meeting the needs of the film industry in pushing the boundaries of large format image capture with exceptional picture quality.
Beautiful image
Satisfied with the current condition? With the wide latitude and gamut recorded by the VENICE, freedom of expression is significantly expanded in grading and based on established workflow.
Simple and intuitive
Usability and reliability of the camera is one of the major concerns for operators, especially in tough or time-critical filming conditions. With a user-friendly design, clear and simple menu navigation, and a highly durable, reliable construction, VENICE lets you simply concentrate on filming, and not the camera.
Full-Frame sensor for cinema
VENICE features an all-new Full-Frame sensor with the classic 36 x 24-mm dimensions that have been a staple of photography for over 100 years. Designed exclusively for high-end cinematography, this sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032.
Switchable imager modes mean VENICE can support an unprecedented number of cinematic aspect ratios for complete creative freedom:
Full width 36 mm 6K
In full-frame, you can use the full 6048 pixel width of the sensor for 6K imager modes such as 3:2, 2.39:1*, 1.85:1, 17:9, and 16.9*. Equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film, these 6K modes allow for extra-shallow depth of field, super-wide shooting, and other creative effects.
Super35 anamorphic 4K
For super-wide screen productions, VENICE offers two full-height 2x squeeze anamorphic imager modes that include 6:5 and 4:3 recording modes for 12:5 (known as 2.39:1) and 8:3 (2.66:1) scenes, respectively.
Explore how VENICE can meet your production requirements with the firmware and licensing requirements in the aspect ratio chart:
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. VENICEās 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 Sonyās 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 youāre using slow lenses or shooting dimly-lit environments. Combining ISO2500 with VENICEās 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.
ISO 500
Anamorphic look
VENICE supports 2x squeeze anamorphic lenses and is able to shoot 4:3 and 6:5 aspect ratios at a horizontal resolution of 4K. This allows the capture of breathtakingly beautiful images with stunning lens flare, bokeh and emotional impact for both 2.4:1 and 2.66:1 widescreen cinema releases.
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.
Select FPS
The Select FPS function lets you choose frame rates from 1 frame per second to as high as 60 fps, depending on imager mode. Firmware Version 2.0 supports Select FPS for all the available imager modes, while Version 3.0 enables Select FPS for the two additional imager modes noted in the firmware timeline.
Easily configurable
VENICE has a fully modular design and even the sensor block is interchangeable. So, as sensor technology advances in far future, you have the opportunity to upgrade without investing in a new camera. In order to maintain ergonomic balance for operators, the top handle and viewfinder are easily adjustable. As the height of the camera from the bottom to the optical center of the lens mount is the same as the F55, base plates and other accessories used for the F55 can be used with VENICE. The AXS-R7 recorder can be attached to VENICE with just four screws.
Worldās first 8-step mechanical ND Filters*
VENICE is the worldās 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 VENICEās flexibility when being controlled remotely on drones and cranes, or in an underwater housing.
Intuitive and familiar on-set operation
VENICE has a surprisingly compact design, which allows easier shooting in confined spaces or on drones. Control buttons are carefully positioned for intuitive operation and even illuminate for easy use on dark sets. There are control displays on both sides of the camera, with the main display positioned on the camera outside for fast access to settings by the camera assistant while shooting. The camera operatorās OLED mini display allows intuitive control of commonly-accessed features, and on-set monitoring operation benefits from an extra HD output alongside the standard 12G-SDI (capable of 4K content on a single BNC cable).
The control interface is an all-new design based on extensive researches with camera operators.
Assistant display
Wired LAN Control
Control VENICE from a PC or MacĀ® using a web browser and Ethernet cable. To control multiple cameras, simply add an Ethernet router. With V2.0, you can control Record Start/Stop, Assignable Buttons and Frames per Second, Exposure Index, Shutter, ND Filter and White Balance. In Version 3.0, all menu settings will be supported.
High performance, proven recording formats
VENICE offers complete production flexibility. Internally, VENICE can support XAVC, ProRes or MPEG HD recording onto an SxS memory card. Additionally, by using the AXS-R7 recorder, it can record 16-bit RAW or X-OCN (16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative) onto AXS memory card.
X-OCN: 16-bit eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative
Full 4K and 6K* resolution, with extraordinary color reproduction, nicely suits Sonyās third-generation color development, S-Gamut 3. In particular, 16-bit scene linear tonal gradation retains the cameraās full dynamic range, with far greater capacity for visual expression than 10-bit or 12-bit digital formats.
16-bitĀ X-OCNĀ offers significant file size reduction, which makes working with full resolution content from VENICEās 6K sensor far more practical in terms of file transfer times and storage requirements.
X-OCN is supported by leading non-linear editing software tools such as Adobe Premiere CC, Apple Final Cut Pro X via Calibrated{Q} Sony RAW Decode plug-in, Avid Media Composer via nablet Sony RAW AMA plug-in, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Colorfront OSD, and FilmLight Baselight, to name a few.
Apple ProRes
Apple ProRes including ProRes 422 proxy formats are popular in postproduction and are supported by VENICE. This means thereās no need for transcoding; you can simply handle these formats directly from the camera.
XAVC
XAVCĀ 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.
Simultaneous recording for faster workflow
A key benefit of VENICE is simultaneous recording using two recording media. For example, a production could use RAW/X-OCN data recorded by AXS-R7 for online editing and also use XAVC, Apple ProRes or MPEG HD for offline editing without waiting for any file conversion. VENICE can also record XAVC 4K and RAW/X-OCN* simultaneously. Therefore, another option would be to use XAVC 4K for quick turnaround mainstream production while using simultaneous recording RAW/X-OCN as a future-proof archive suitable for the highest quality HDR applications.
Even without using AXS-R7, VENICE itself can record XAVC 4K and Apple ProRes 422 Proxy* simultaneously. VENICE is designed to support both the highest quality imagery and high-speed workflows.
