  • Blackmagic Ursa Cine 16K

I'm super excited to see what this camera will produce. It also seems to be a camera with a good work flow, good light tolerance, probably a lot easier to get right then the Canon for instance. High hopes for this thing. It's big though but man, I think quality like this will take vr to a whole new level. Can't wait!

    fenderwq Will undoubtedly look stunning, but I agree, the size looks like it might be the deal breaker. Seems to be a lot bigger than any of the other available cameras. I'm not looking forward to all the non-POV, POV we are going to be getting if studios decide to switch to it.

        Hairsational yeah, true, pov is essential. However imagine two girls. Making out in front of you, or some good lesbian stuf. I'm not against non pov either but pov is for sure what I watch 90% of the time.

            Hairsational besides it's 30k so I doubt most studio's will switch any time soon. Still, this is the kind of vr camera innovation we sorely needed. Hope we get some scenes with it at some point.

              No camera expert here. But whatever camera they use in virtualrealporn, wow the clarity is always on top. You can see the pores on their face when they are not even that close its insane

              fenderwq What I meant by non-POV POV is sub-par POV that isn't shot from an ideal POV position because of the camera size.

                How about the VR lenses ? Is there any info/specs about it ? Price and availability ?

                doublevr What's the FOV capture radius of those lenses though?
                It would be just our luck this pro camera did an oopsie and falls short of 180 degree 2:1 ratio to cater to Apple's Spatial video format instead of the Immersive video one

                  over 8k x 8k per eye, this is hopefully going to look insane 👏

                  As I posted before in a different thread, this is needed to fully fill the pixels of the new and upcoming 4k x 4k per eye headsets, like the Pimax Crystal Super.. because you're inside the video, you're not seeing the whole 8k x 8k (180* fov or whatever the fov of this camera is), you're zoomed into basically 4k x 4k (90-120* FOV, depending on current headsets) with the rest you can look around at, so this 8k x 8k is necessary, not overkill

                  And that's besides counting future-proofing, so the videos look great forever

                    Have you pre-ordered this one and if so what are your plans?

                      Anything as long as it means getting better quality masks for PT videos. Apparently 8k is not enough to get clean sharp edges, that has been my only issue with PT videos the way they have been done using Alpha packing instead of chroma key. At least with chroma key you could get pretty good sharp edges, as long as the scenes were filmed a good distance away from the greenscreens, but alpha pack has these annoying blurry edges that still annoy me to this day.
