September 16, 2018—Achtel
Pty Limited (www.achtel.com)
announces the industry's first 8K, 48 Megapixel, 4:3 aspect ratio, large format
digital cinema camera system. The system is specifically designed for IMAX and
giant screen cinema films striving to achieve the highest image quality and
immersive visual experience.
The
technology offers recording data
rates of 2GB/s, about 6 times higher than 8K cameras currently available,
uncompressed RAW format, Wide Colour Gamut, and large Full Frame (36.4 x 27.6
mm) sensor delivering highest image quality traditionally associated with IMAX
and giant screen films.
The camera’s small size
allows for different stereoscopic 3D configurations, aerial filming and
integration with underwater systems that use submersible lenses to achieve the
image quality never experienced on Giant Screen and IMAX Cinemas.
“We are very excited to
bring a digital camera system specifically tailored for giant screen needs
offering 8K resolution and native 4:3 aspect ratio and image quality far
exceeding that of available cameras. This innovation is set to achieve the high
ground that giant screen films held over mainstream cinema that keeps audiences
coming back,” said Mr. Pawel Achtel, ACS, the director of the company.
The new camera will be
available for productions in first quarter 2019. For advanced bookings and
enquiries contact Pawel Achtel, ACS, at pawel.achtel@24x7.com.au or
