Blackmagic’s Vision Pro Immersive Camera Now Available for Preorder

Blackmagic Launches Revolutionary URSA Cine Immersive Camera

Blackmagic Design has officially announced the availability of its groundbreaking URSA Cine Immersive Camera designed specifically for high-quality 3D immersive video production. This highly anticipated camera is now available for preorder directly from Blackmagic Design offices, with initial shipments scheduled for early 2025.

A Game-Changer in Immersive Video Production

The URSA Cine Immersive aims to elevate content creation for platforms like Apple's Vision Pro, boasting a price tag of $29,995. This investment equates to approximately 8.6 Vision Pros, highlighting the camera's advanced capabilities. First introduced in June, this camera captures stereoscopic 3D video at an impressive 90fps and a resolution of 8160 x 7200 per eye. This resolution is more than double that of the estimated per-eye resolution found in Vision Pro's displays.

Enhanced Editing with DaVinci Resolve Studio

One of the key features of the URSA Cine Immersive is its seamless integration with DaVinci Resolve Studio. Blackmagic plans to roll out support for Apple’s proprietary Immersive Video format early next year, enabling a "true end-to-end workflow" for filmmakers working with immersive content. Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty expressed excitement about collaborating with filmmakers to produce immersive videos, emphasizing the camera’s potential to revolutionize the industry.

Expanding the Landscape of Immersive Content

Currently, Apple offers limited immersive content outside its own promotional videos, such as applications like Amplium and Explore POV. However, none of these have yet matched the exceptional quality of Apple's own productions. This could change in the coming years, as studios are encouraged to leverage Blackmagic's cutting-edge camera and DaVinci update to create high-quality immersive content.

Visual Appeal

Blackmagic shared images of the URSA Cine Immersive in a recent email communication with The Verge, showcasing the sleek and modern design of the camera. Such aesthetics are expected to resonate well within the filmmaking community.

Conclusion

With the introduction of the URSA Cine Immersive camera, Blackmagic Design is poised to make a significant impact on the future of 3D immersive video production. As filmmakers gear up for its release, the potential for high-quality immersive content in fields ranging from cinema to live events appears promising. This new technology not only enhances the production experience but also pushes the boundaries of what immersive content can achieve.
