Sony India announces the latest addition to the CineAlta line up, the VENICE Extension System Mini (CBK-3621XS) - a new accessory dedicated to the award-winning VENICE 2 digital cinema camera.
The new VENICE Extension System Mini comes equipped with the VENICE 2 8K sensor at a substantially reduced size than the existing VENICE Extension System 2. With a footprint the size of an average smartphone and approximately 70% smaller than the current system, the VENICE Extension System Mini is designed to provide additional creative freedom for filmmakers. The ultra-compact yet durable design has made the VENICE Extension System Mini perfect for handheld shots and extreme action.
โThe VENICE Extension System Mini represents Sonyโs continued commitment to empowering filmmakers with tools that combine cutting-edge technology and creative flexibility. By bringing the power of the VENICE 2 8K sensor into an ultra-compact form factor, we are enabling creators to capture cinematic imagery in environments and scenarios that were previously challenging or impossible.โ said Mukesh Srivastava, Head of Imaging Business, Sony India.
Building on the success of the current Extension System, the new VENICE Extension System Mini allows greater flexibility with no compromise on image quality. The Extension System Mini features a custom drop-in ND cartridge system with nine (9) glass Neutral Density (ND) filters, including a clear ND specially developed to perfectly match the Sony VENICE 2 systems while maintaining a compact size.
The VENICE Extension Systemv Mini also offers design improvements for easy mounting and rigging. For example, the connection cable between the VENICE Extension System Mini and the VENICE 2 camera body features a thinner, flexible cable that can be detached when rigging. It also features mounting points to attach accessories easily.
For example, multiple units of the new VENICE Extension System Mini can be used side by side for Stereoscopic imaging that recreates the way the human eye sees with a 64mm inter-axial distance which matches the distance between eyes (average human interpupillary distance). The VENICE Extension System Mini can also be used to create VR content and VFX plates in arrays.
Since its release, the VENICE, Sony's flagship digital cinema camera series, has been widely adopted by filmmakers around the world, including blockbusters Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water, Formula 1 and more recently, Nickel Boys, The Fire Inside, and A Complete Unknown, Avatar: Fire & Ash.
