Blackmagic Debuts $30K 3D Camera for Capturing Video for Vision Pro

Fantastic news. For the low price of $30k, you can make videos for the 100 people who own AVP.

Blackmagic makes a number of products for feature film, tv and other professional applications. This isn't at all aimed at a consumer audience.

It's just an URSA Cine body with dual sensors and optics. Nothing to get excited about.

Is it able to bark?

It looks like a cheap children's toy from the Eighties. Clearly it isn't, but that's what it looks like.

 

[guzhogi]

Onwards and upwards!

Legion M reference?

 

[madrag]

Yes but does it come with an SD card?

In all seriousness, imagine the file sizes?!

1 hour of 8K stereoscopic video recorded in Blackmagic RAW is about 4TB!!

No they can’t. Very few headsets can playback 90fps let alone the resolution this shoots at. And if they could it would be like squeezing a 4K dvd signal into an old school box TV.

If you imagine the headline to the article reads - first 4K camera available for the first 4K TV - That’s more reflective of the significance.

It’s the first time a camera has been commercially available that matches the insane resolution of the Vision Pro.

There literally more headsets that have higher resolution and above 90fps than Vision Pro at a cheaper price ; also downscaling doesn’t degrade an image as much as you think it does. For the amount of Vision Pro users there tons more quest 3 users if you want to compare. The fact that all vr headsets have to visually correct itself always gives less of the actual resolution given than its native resolution

Same old joke rehashed again and again. It was funny the first time and possibly even the second time. Yawn.

I think you're jealous you missed the opportunity to make the joke before I did.

I don’t think it’s only for the Vision Pro. Google Android XR and for Meta it’s also news.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Yes but does it come with an SD card?

In all seriousness, imagine the file sizes?!

It comes with an 8 TB storage module. SD cards don't have fast enough read/write speeds.

Stop trying to make 3d happen Tim

It’s not going to work.

While I don't care, if it can help kill vertical video, bring it.

Portrait is a scourge. I recently saw a video on yt that was landscape with a portait video. The portrait video had a landscape video in it.

Just waiting for the lightweight AVP 2 or 3 to come out for the masses. C'mon deep pockets, make it happen for the rest of us.

Do you have to transfer it through lightning cable?

 

[Terry2023]

This sounds AWESOME!

It will also be $6K in 4 years. It only makes sense if you already have Ferraris in all the colors you like, or if you can use it to produce videos people will buy.

 

[lovehateapple]

Yes, but can it be flown from a drone?!

 

[red elma]

That’s a sign that there is life in the Vision Pro despite all the naysayers here…

It already is a staple in scientific and medical fields..

 

[Zerlina]

wow can't imagine adult content with this

 

[AppleFan360]

Its likely the porn industry will be scooping these up

 

[Shirasaki]

Shouldn't it be capable of normal VR content?
Plenty of NSFW content to be made out there if Vision Pro fails. 🤣

Vision Pro exclusive NSFW. Must buy. 😂

That boat left the dock a long time ago. Works spectacularly.
