VENICE Extension System

Unprecedented shooting ﬂexibility with the addition of extension system

and Version 3.0 ﬁrmware. Don't miss a shot.

Sony’s VENICE motion picture camera, which has been embraced by the

production community, will enhance its usability and ﬂexibility with the

VENICE Extension System and Version 3.0 ﬁrmware updates in early 2019.

The lightweight and easy to use tethered extension system allows the

camera body to detach from the image sensor block with no degradation in

image quality. The image sensor block weighs 4 lbs with PL mount and 3 lbs

using the native E-mount, and the cable system can extend from 9 or 18 feet,

oering a highly conﬁgurable, ﬂexible and portable method of operation.

The new Extension System is compatible with existing and new VENICE

cameras. A user can quickly conﬁgure and freely use VENICE’s image sensor

block to capture uncompromising imagery, customizing the camera for

speciﬁc scenarios in under 3 minutes with one 3mm Allen Wrench allowing

for ultimate ﬂexibility onset.

VENICE Extension System provides outstanding mobility and greater freedom to create exceptional imagery

VENICE is a proud member of

the Netﬂix Post Technology

Alliance program. VENICE meets

the Netﬂix technical and delivery

speciﬁcations today, and will

continue to do so in the future.

Sony is committed to work closely

with Netﬂix to innovate production

workﬂows and support the needs

of the global production and post-

production communities.

The VENICE Extension System (CBK-3610XS), which consists

of a front panel cover, image sensor block case with a 9-foot

cable and a 9-foot extension cable, is compatible with existing

VENICE cameras with Version 3.0 ﬁrmware installed.

As shooting environments and requirements become

more advanced and demanding, VENICE users can

expect the same image quality and integrity when

using the robust Extension System, which enables

VENICE to become highly mobile and discreet for many

mounting setups and ﬁlming scenarios including use

with gimbals, handheld stabilizers, underwater and

helicopter housings, and 3D/VR rigs, as well as in tight

and unconventional spaces, such as in vehicles, on

cranes or Russian arms.

Developed for ﬁlmmakers, by ﬁlmmakers who

sought out the ergonomics, small footprint and agile

form factor the Extension System oers, while taking

advantage of VENICE’s features including built-in

8-step mechanical Optical ND ﬁlter system and Dual

Base ISO (ISO500/2500).

The VENICE camera body plate has a 24V DC input

connector (Fischer 3pin). This makes it possible

to provide 24V DC output at the camera head

using a Fischer 3pin cable. When 12V DC output is

required, the Hirose 4pin connector on the VENICE

camera can be utilized by using Hirose 4pin to

Fischer 3pin cable.

Uncompromised image quality

Shown with the optional Sony

DVF-L700 7" LCD monitor

The addition of the Extension System adds

an HD-SDI output, a 12V or 24V output for

powering accessories such as lens servo motors

and monitoring. CBK-3610XS also comes with

multiple mounting points on all surfaces to

enable various rigs and accessories attachment.

It is planned to be available in February 2019

at Sony authorized VENICE resellers. For more

information, please visit pro.sony/VENICE.

Also available in early 2019 will be the free VENICE Version 3.0 ﬁrmware

upgrade, which further augments VENICE’s capabilities, incorporating

feedback from ﬁlmmakers and protecting customers’ investment by

allowing the camera to grow with the user. Version 3.0 ﬁrmware will

add a recording proﬁle within the 16-bit X-OCN (eXtended tonal range

Original Camera Negative).

Version 3.0 ﬁrmware highlights include:

• 16-bit X-OCN XT proﬁle delivers the highest picture quality at

economical data rates with AXS-R7

• New imager modes, including 6K 2.39:1 and 5.7K 16:9 for greater

shooting ﬂexibility

• Additional de-squeezed ratios for various anamorphic lenses

(x1.25, x1.3, x1.5, x1.8), as requested by ﬁlmmakers

• Cache REC for a maximum 30 sec in X-OCN 4K

17:9 AXS Memory / HD MPEG 50 SxS memory,

so you don’t miss a shot

• 6G/12G-SDI switchable output enabling 4K

SDI output

• Wireless Remote Control with CBK-WA02

for wirelessly controlling and changing

key functions and menu settings for

increased ﬂexibility

This new proﬁle, called X-OCN XT, captures the highest quality imagery when using the AXS-R7 portable memory recorder. X-OCN XT is ideal for demanding visual

eects work and productions requiring the utmost image quality from VENICE. The new X-OCN XT proﬁle maintains economical ﬁle sizes comparable to Sony’s RAW

ﬁle size, making the workﬂow aordable and ecient. In comparing X-OCN with Sony’s RAW format, X-OCN has superior reproduction in low light areas and high

light areas. In VENICE’s 4K 17:9 imager mode, users will have the ﬂexibility to record three X-OCN proﬁles (XT, ST, LT) and Sony RAW with V3.0 ﬁrmware. (Prior to V3.0

ﬁrmware, X-OCN LT, X-OCN ST and Sony RAW are available).
