3D Digital 4K Camera from IMAX

The Debuts of 3D Digital 4K Camera from IMAX

IMAX has finally shared some details about its newest 3D camera. The company has developed the world’s first fully integrated dual 65mm 4K digital large – format 3D camera. This 3Ddigital 4K camera from IMAX was used by director Michaesl Bay and cinematographer Amir Mokri on their movie, Transformer: Age of Extinction. It’s the first feature film to employ the camera. The public has already gotten its first taste of what the new rig is capable of. If you thought the Autobots were already big and the lenses were already bright, wait until you see them in digital 4K and native 3D.

Though most of IMAX experiences these days weren’t actually filmed natively in the format and are instead just blown up versions of standard format, some filmmakers have made it a point to push genuine IMAX to its limits. This is the first time that IMAX has moved away from its standard 65mm film in favor of digital picture. But moviegoers should expect exactly the same kind of stunning, large – format picture quality. The 3D digital 4K camera from IMAX delivers stunning image quality and is smaller, lighter and also easier to use than other 3D digital camera systems on the market.

This 3D digital 4K camerafrom IMAX is lighter, quieter and more compact than its predecessors. With the downsized the camera, filmmakers will ostensibly be able to obtain certain types of shots that were previously impossible. IMAX described the new camera as “fully integrated”, which means the interchangeable lens is actually a stereo pair in a single removable unit, rather than two separate lenses shooting through a beam splitter in a bulkier rig configuration. Many IMAX cinematographers specialize in wildlife, so the company was sure to build a continuous – recording mode that makes it easier for shooters to keep rolling with a one – to – two minute buffer and capture those sudden crucial bursts of action out in the field.

This 3D digital 4K camera from IMAX is being described as a “true 4K stereo camera”, it means that both right and left eye images are captured in full 4K resolution, without the use of a beam splitter.
