Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive

Apple Immersive Video is an emerging storytelling format that completely revolutionises the way in which we experience visual media, placing the viewer at the heart of any given scene. Up until now there has been no way of producing content for the platform, so the development of a commercially available cinema camera to do so naturally faced a range of technical and creative challenges. These hurdles were all considered in the context of one simple ambition: to democratise first-hand, immersive access to the most exclusive and unique experiences of the cinematic and natural worlds.

Unlike traditional ‘3D’ cameras, which offer a more disconnected, passive viewing experience through the use of expensive, complex mirror rigs, URSA Cine Immersive leverages a pair of bespoke lens arrays, each with its own proprietary Blackmagic 8K image sensor and independent ND filter. Meticulously engineered and calibrated to precisely simulate human binocular vision, its fixed focal length, extremely wide field of view and crystal clear image quality allows viewers to retain a sense of viewing autonomy, fully immersing them in the midst of any given scene.

URSA Cine Immersive will revolutionise the way in which we consume visual media. It democratises previously unattainable experiences, affording almost anyone the opportunity to play an integral part in cinematic storylines, discover exotic travel destinations, or take part in exclusive live events first-hand and in vivid detail. Whether it’s watching the Super Bowl from the side line, climbing Mt Everest or accompanying Taylor Swift on a world tour, URSA Cine Immersive will allow people to experience things they could previously only dream of, unencumbered by physical limitations or carbon footprints of excessive international travel.
