The Sony VENICE is Sony's flagship full-frame 6K cinema camera, with the Rialto extension system available. Rent it from Daufenbach Camera in Chicago for features and high-end episodic that need full frame, anamorphic and a tiny camera head on the Rialto.

Full-Frame Sensor For Cinema

VENICE features an all-new Full-Frame sensor with the classic 36 x 24mm dimensions that have been a staple of photography for over 100 years. Designed exclusively for high-end cinematography, this sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032.

Switchable imager modes mean VENICE can support an unprecedented number of cinematic aspect ratios for complete creative freedom:

Full width 36 mm 6K

In full-frame, you can use the full 6048 pixel width of the sensor for 6K imager modes such as 3:2, 2.39:1*, 1.85:1, 17:9 and 16.9*. Equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film, these 6K modes allow for extra shallow depth of field, super-wide shooting and other creative effects.

Super35 anamorphic 4K

For super wide screen productions, VENICE offers two full height 2x squeeze anamorphic imager modes that include 6:5 and 4:3 recording modes for 12:5 (known as 2.39:1) and 8:3 (2.66:1) scenes respectively.

Rialto Camera Extension

The Sony Rialto enables cabled separation of the Sony VENICE camera body and image sensor block by up to 18 feet with no degradation in image quality. This is particually useful when filmming in cars and other spacial constraints. It also provides a lightweight setup for handheld.
