Digital Domain’s New 360 Camera to Capture 250 Hours of Major Sports Footage
The company have just announced that their recently unveiled Zeus 360 camera is to play a major part in capturing footage at a sporting event in Rio, with Digital Domain claiming they’re filming (and live-streaming) 250 hours of video content, designed to be viewed via virtual reality headsets. DD will be handling the capture and post processing pipeline entirely, even handling the packaging of content to distribution platforms, developing “custom apps for this content to be viewed globally by fans on smartphones, tablets, Gear VR and desktop computers.”
The new device, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Nokia’s own Ozo camera, is apparently capable of footage at a greater than 8k resolution at 10-bit RAW output, capturing a high frame rate of 75 fps. The camera is also capable of seamless 360-degree live-streaming at up to 4k resolution.
