Sony BURANO

The new BURANO is the latest addition to Sony’s prestigious CineAlta lineup. It combines exceptional image quality with high mobility. Compact, versatile, and flexible, the BURANO is the world’s first digital cinema camera with a PL-Mount to feature in-body image stabilization and autofocus. it’s the ultimate tool for single-camera operators and small crews. Designed for highly mobile, solo cine-style shooting, the BURANO offers up to 8.6K video capture in a compact, full-frame form. Unique in-camera stabilization for both E- and PL-mount lenses, fast hybrid autofocus, and an easily adjustable ND filter enhance single-user capture and seamless image matching, making the BURANO camera ideal for use as your VENICE B or C camera.

The BURANO camera’s 8.6L CMOS sensor not only matches the VENICE 8K’s exceptional imagery, but it also incorporates Sony’s renowned autofocus technology. The sensor also offers both full-frame and Super35 modes, enabling you to select from a vast array of lenses to suit a variety of project types.

The BURANO is equipped with the same rugged, reliable PL- and E-mount system as the VENICE series, enabling you to select your glass from a huge selection of lenses. The PL mount is compatible with all Super35 and full-frame PL lenses in both spherical and anamorphic versions. It also supports Cooke/i technology for frame-by-frame metadata and ZEISS eXtended Data. The E mount supports metadata when using Sony E-mount lenses.

The BURANO camera’s autofocus options include Fast Hybrid AF (phase-detection AF/contrast-detection AF) and Human Eye AF for accurately capturing fast-moving subjects even when you’re operating alone.

A feature unique to the BURANO is its in-camera image stabilization for both Sony E- and ARRI PL-mount lenses, a first in digital cine-style capture. This new PL-mount lens feature provides 3-axis pitch, yaw, and roll stabilization with high, low, and off options. E-mount lenses benefit from 5-axis pitch, yaw, roll, x, and y stabilization with active, standard, and off settings.

A built-in, electronically variable ND filter enables solo operators to quickly and easily adjust their exposure when faced with changing light levels. This dial-type filter ranges from 0.6 to 2.1 ND for a total of seven stops.

The BURANO’s 8.6K sensor provides a massive 16 stops of dynamic range, producing phenomenal images with very low noise in conditions ranging from almost no light to blazing sunlight. It also offers excellent HDR imaging with unprecedented freedom when color grading in post-production. Dual-base 800/3200 ISOs enable the BURANO to excel at low-light HDR capture. It’s wide exposure latitude ranges from 6 stops to 10 stops under 18% middle gray, for a total of 16 stops.

The BURANO supports multiple resolutions and frame rates, including full-frame 8.6K at 30fps, full-frame cropped 6K at 60fps, Super35 5.8K, and Super35 cropped 4K at 120fps.

Support for resolutions ranging from HD to 8.6K enables the BURANO to obtain the highest quality images for all of your productions. Supported internal recording formats include the new XAVC H, which uses the highly efficient H.264 codec to record 8K files, X-OCN LT for stunning raw images with efficient storage, and both XAVC-I and XAVC-L for UHD 4K and HD. Ideal for even the most advanced workflows, X-OCN codecs combine 16-bit precision with moderate bit rates to produce amazing color reproduction using manageable file sizes. X-OCN is supported for multiple resolutions and frame rates up to 8.6L 16:9 30fps.

The BURANO’s advanced interface includes 12G/6G/3G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI outputs, 3-pin XLR audio inputs, timecode, genlock, and reference input/outputs, a 1000BASE-T LANC terminal, and built-in, dual-band Wi-Fi.
