Black magic for 3D Immersion

More great news for 3D in 2024. Blackmagic have released the "Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive" Camera specifically designed for creating content for the Apple Vision Pro. Lets be honest the content for the Apple Vision Pro has been limited and there has been a slightly embarrassing lack of follow up content for the Vision Pro after the tasters created for the initial release.

Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO said “Built on the new URSA Cine platform, URSA Cine Immersive features a fixed, custom, stereoscopic 3D lens system with dual 8K image sensors that can capture 16 stops of dynamic range. With this innovative system, filmmakers can record remarkable moments like action-packed scenes, unique perspectives, stunning landscapes, intimate performances, and more, all with incredible fidelity, offering viewers an unparalleled sense of realism and immersion.”

This should enable content creators to really start generating content at a bigger scale. The camera has both the specs and the looks to deliver quality content:

BLACKMAGIC URSA CINE IMMERSIVE FEATURES

* Dual custom lens system for shooting Apple Immersive Video for Apple Vision Pro.

* 8K stereoscopic 3D immersive image capture.

* 8160 x 7200 resolution per eye with pixel level synchronization.

* Massive 16 stops of dynamic range.

* Lightweight, robust camera body with industry standard connections.

* Generation 5 Colour Science with new film curve.

* Dual 90 fps capture to a single Blackmagic RAW file.

* Includes high performance Blackmagic Media Module 8TB for recording.

* High speed Wi-Fi, 10G Ethernet or mobile data for network connections.

* Optional Blackmagic URSA Cine EVF.

* Includes DaVinci Resolve Studio for post production.

The release date is currently later this year, and there is no price yet. Unlikely to be in the range of the average consumer, but the key element is really it should enable the generation of quality 3D content which we will be able to use so the future is bright. 3A.
