BURANO 2.0 Firmware Update

The much-anticipated BURANO 2.0 firmware update provides multiple enhancements and additional features created with input from existing BURANO users.

New Recording Formats

  • Full-frame crop 3.8K 16:9, at rates up to 120 fps.
  • A dedicated anamorphic Super 35 4.3K in 4:3 imager scan mode at rates up to 60 fps.
  • Super 35 1.9K in 16:9 at rates up to 240 fps.
  • Adds a 1.8x setting to the anamorphic de-squeeze functions.
  • Adds 24 fps to the X-OCN 16:9 imager scan modes.

More BURANO 2.0 Features

  • Standardization of SDI video output for monitoring across both X-OCN and XAVC modes.
  • Additional exposure tools, including High and Low keys.
  • Support for Active/High Image stabilization in full-frame crop 6K and Super 35 1.9K in 16:9.
  • Increased number of Slow and Quick selection increments: 66, 72, 75, 88, 90, 96, and 110 fps.
  • Expansion of the white balance memory positions from three to eight.
  • Inclusion of the VF gamma display assist while using S-Log3 for monitoring.
  • Support for “surround OSD camera status information” to camera output.
  • Support for breathing compensation and image stabilization metadata in X-OCN.

Full-Frame 8.6K CMOS Sensor

  • The BURANO camera's 8.6K CMOS sensor not only matches the VENICE 8K's exceptional imagery, but it also incorporates Sony's renowned autofocus technology—a huge boon for single operators when facing fast-paced environments with challenging focus.
  • The sensor also offers both full-frame and Super 35 modes, enabling you to select from a vast array of lenses to suit a variety of project types.

ARRI PL and Sony E Mounts

  • 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 Super 35 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.

Autofocus

  • Available with 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.

Image Stabilization

  • 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.

Variable ND Filter

  • 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.

Exceptional Latitude

  • 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 (high dynamic range) with unprecedented freedom when color grading in post-production.

Dual-Base ISO

  • Dual-base 800/3200 ISOs enable the BURANO to excel at low-light HDR capture.
  • Its wide exposure latitude ranges from 6 stops over to 10 stops under 18% middle gray, for a total of 16 stops.

Versatile Frame Rates

  • The BURANO supports multiple resolutions and frame rates, including full-frame 8.6K at 30 fps, full-frame cropped 6K at 60 fps, Super 35 5.8K, and Super 35 cropped 4K at 120 fps.

Up to 8K Recording with Multiple Codec Support

  • Support for resolutions ranging from HD to 8.6K enables the BURANO to obtain the highest quality images for all your productions.
  • Supported internal recording formats include the new XAVC H, which uses the highly efficient H.265 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.

X-OCN 16-Bit Original Camera Negative

  • Ideal for even the most advanced workflows, X-OCN (extended tonal range Original Camera Negative) 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 8.6K 16:9 30 fps.

Viewfinder/LCD

  • The detachable VF/LCD combo functions as both a viewfinder and touchscreen controller for the BURANO.
  • A handy Home button replicates the "big six" (fps, EI, Shutter, ND, Look, and WB) functions that will be familiar to VENICE users.

Media Type

  • Dual media slots on the BURANO enable it to record to CFexpress Type B cards; it also incorporates an SD card slot for utility functions only.
  • Sony CFexpress Type B TOUGH Series Memory Cards are now available in 960 and 1920GB versions.

Interface, Optional Grip

  • 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.
  • The interface also includes a port for linking to the new, separately available GP-VR100 Remote Control Grip.

Lightweight, Compact Form

  • Based around a chassis and body made of a magnesium alloy, the impressively robust yet lightweight and compact BURANO is made to withstand the harshest conditions.
  • Its ventilation system is completely isolated from the electronics, preventing the ingress of dust, sand, and splashes of water.
  • The fan runs silently and can be easily swapped out for a new unit.
