Blackmagic Design is entering the market for Spatial Video and Apple Immersive Video. The professional video specialist is launching its own camera system, the URSA Cine Immersive. According to the manufacturer, it was specially developed to capture content for Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset. According to information on X, the system can record video at 8K per eye (8160 x 7200 pixels). The maximum frame rate is 90fps. Furthermore, "16 stops of dynamic range" are promised.
"Lightweight and robust"
In addition to the announcement on X, there was also a more detailed press release about the system. This states that the dual 90fps capturing takes place in a single Blackmagic RAW file. The URSA Cine Immersive is supplied with a Black Magic Media Module with 8 TByte and otherwise supports WLAN, 10G Ethernet and even mobile data for network connection. Blackmagic Design also promises color grading with Generation 5 Color Science including a new film curve.
The camera is otherwise said to be "lightweight and robust" - but the manufacturer has not yet provided any more specific details. However, images (see above) already show the URSA Cine Immersive mounted on a professional drone. Blackmagic Design has not yet provided any information on the price. However, as the URSA Cine 12K alone (without Spatial Video) costs just under 16500 euros in German stores without a lens, a five-figure price tag is to be expected. The URSA Cine Immersive will be available "later this year".
DaVinci Resolve goes Immersive
In line with the new camera, Blackmagic Design will also be equipping its DaVinci Resolve editing program with immersive functions. A later update will even allow direct monitoring of a Vision Pro. The software allows the editing of Blackmagic RAW immersive material, has a dedicated viewer with pan, tilt and roll, automatically recognizes Apple Immersive Video and allows the direct output of native files for the Vision Pro. The price of the update has also not yet been announced.
Canon had already presented a spatial video strategy before Blackmagic Design: However, the solution is much simpler and (certainly) more affordable with a lens intended for the APS-C camera EOS R7. The RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL is also due to be released this year.
