Ugh, no good can come from affiliating with the Apple Corporation...
Today we announced Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive is now available to pre-order direct from Blackmagic Design offices worldwide for US$29,995. Delivery will start in late Q1 2025. This will let us work with initial customers to develop the post production pipeline with DaVinci Resolve and then Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive will be available via Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide, which we expect to be later in the year.
We are excited to begin accepting orders for Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, which is the world’s first commercial camera system designed to capture content for Apple Vision Pro and preview a true end-to-end workflow for Apple Immersive Video and DaVinci Resolve. An updated version of DaVinci Resolve Studio with new editing features for Apple Immersive Video will also be released early next year. As this workflow is very new, we are looking forward to working closely with initial URSA Cine Immersive filmmakers and production companies to refine the production workflow for Apple Immersive Video before releasing URSA Cine Immersive to a wider audience in 2025.
Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive features a fixed, custom lens system pre-installed on the body and dual 8K sensors for stereoscopic 3D immersive image capture, which are designed specifically to capture Apple Immersive Video for Apple Vision Pro. The sensor delivers high resolution per eye with an incredible 16 stops of dynamic range, so cinematographers can shoot 90 fps 3D immersive cinema content to a single Blackmagic RAW file. The custom lens system is designed for URSA Cine’s large format image sensor with extremely accurate positional data that’s read and stored at time of manufacturing. This immersive lens data is mapped, calibrated and stored per eye, so it can then travel through post production in the Blackmagic RAW file itself.
The new DaVinci Resolve Studio supporting immersive video will complete the workflow so filmmakers edit, color grade, and produce Apple Immersive Video shot on the URSA Cine Immersive camera for Apple Vision Pro. Key features include a new immersive video viewer, which will let editors pan, tilt, and roll clips for viewing on 2D monitors, or on Apple Vision Pro for an even more immersive editing experience. Additionally, transitions rendered by Apple Vision Pro will also be able to be bypassed using XML metadata, giving editors clean master files. To complete the workflow, export presets will enable quick output into a package which can be viewed directly on Apple Vision Pro.
