CineArray Debuts Advanced 8-Camera Cinematic Array
Maria: CineArray, recently branching out from CineGroup, has launched an advanced 8-camera cinematic array, integrating 8x RED V-Raptors with Zeiss CP.3 lenses. Designed for 360-degree environments, LED volume backgrounds, and specialized VFX shots, each camera provides an 8K image. The array, supported by CVP and CVF, is set to feature in major upcoming releases.
Philip unpack this for me.
Philip: Certainly. It’s truly impressive. I did some rough calculations, and that rig can produce an image of approximately 260 megapixels. I suspect it was primarily designed for the Sphere in Las Vegas, the new massive dome. But as we delve deeper into volumetric and VR-related projects, and as there’s a growing desire to capture content for use in these systems, this rig proves invaluable. As someone who uses a Red camera, I appreciate it mainly for its ability to capture 8K footage, from which I can extract 35-megapixel stills. It’s intriguing to see such specialized equipment. I’m not sure how many they’ll sell. They might sell enough to meet the industry’s demand, but fulfilling that niche might not be too challenging.
Maria: That’s all the time we have today. Many thanks to our experts – Philip and Mary! And don’t forget to comment on the news we’ve discussed. See you next Monday at the same time! Goodbye!
