Thanks to everyone who attended Band Pro's Sony VENICE v4.0 Firmware Workshop on Thursday 7/18/2019. Band Pro's Senior Technical Consultant Randy Wedick, and Senior Service Engineer, Dave Garcia, gave a detailed overview of the free v4.0 hardware upgrade process and highlighed the enhanced functionality v4.0 firmware provides. A preview of the upcoming v5.0 firmware release was also discussed.
Sony VENICE v4.0 / V5.0 Firmware
Following the June 2019 v4.0 firmware release, which includes an optional HFR license to support 120fps at 4K 2.39:1, 110fps at 4K 17:9, 75fps at 4K 4:3 and 60fps at 6K 3:2, VENICE’s Version 5.0 update will further enable cinematographers to shoot at speeds of up to 90fps at 6K 2.39:1 and 72fps at 6K 17:9/1.85:1. This addition enables VENICE to capture three times slow motion at 24p, even in 6K. Cinematographers can utilize the same camera across multiple speeds, maintaining the full-frame shallow depth of field, as well as the high picture quality of oversampling in 6K.
Thanks again to everbody that stopped by. If you missed it, here's a few photos from the day.
