PART 1:
Well..... Canon BETTER get Cookin' on a DCI 8K camera cuz
HERE IS THE FINAL BURNED-INTO-STONE SPECS for the one
coming out sooner than you think:
The manufacturer was CONVINCED to include all the following features
by a dedicated team of professional photographers/videographers and by
the leadership of the codec programmers and camera systems designers
to help Pro-level Still Photographers Cinematographers and various VFX,
Engineering and Science personnel make their lives so much easier!
This is a NEW GENERATION Image Capture System
that goes WAY BEYOND what it available today!
NEW CAMERA NEWS FLASH !!!!!!
---------------------------------
BRAND NEW Medium Format COMBINED Stills/Video Camera coming
sooner than you think from a famous worldwide multimedia company:
1) IP-68 ruggedized Magnesium Alloy Body Medium Format camera:
a) Mirrorless Combined Stills/Video Camera body with a custom
in-house built 50.3 megapixel (8192 x 6144 pixels) 4:3 aspect ratio
(Anamorphic-friendly) 70mm Global Shutter CMOS sensor
(i.e. No Jello Cam Anymore!)
Sensor Type: Global Shutter CMOS
Sensor Area: 56mm by 42 mm (70mm diagonal) 4:3 aspect ratio
Photosite Size: 6.8 Microns
Capture Pattern: Bayer
Native Resolution: 8192 x 6144 photosites
Lens Mount Type and Diameter: User-Swappable PL-Mount
and the other consumer-level still photo/video lens mount is Still A Secret!
b) ADC/DSP Type: 32 bits ADC where each colour sample is
Nyquist downsampled to 16-bits per RGBA/YCbCrA channel
for recorder side digital signal processing.
c) Alpha Transparency and/or Distance Channel sampled via
secondary RF and IR emitter/receiver reflectometry at 32-bits
per sample at input using Z-pattern scanned array reflectometry
with output samples downsampled to 16 bits or user-selectable
sample size. (i.e. used for VFX and Greenscreen personnel)
d) Output Pixel is user-selectable RGBA or YCbCrA type at 16-bits,
14-bits, 12-bits, 10-bits or 8-bits per channel at 4:4:4, 4:2:2 or 4:2:0
colour sampling.
User-selectable Rec.2020 and Rec.709 colour spaces and sampling.
e) Has very low-noise with extreme low-light sensitivity (ISO 204,800 extended
up to ISO 409,600) and an ASTOUNDING 17 Stops of dynamic range
(at 64-bit RGBA/YCbCrA colour) and very high signal-to-noise ratio (144 db)!
What THIS camera sees at ISO 51,200 is equivalent in low-noise and
colour accuracy as what the Canon 1Dx Mk2 sees at ISO 12,800 so
we are talking EXTREME low noise, great colour, sharp edges and
BEAUTIFUL Beyond-HDR photos and video.
2) Still Photo and Video Frame Specifications:

- Multiple UHDTV, HDTV and Computer-friendly frame sizes and integer + fractional frame rates.
c) All output resolutions and colour sampling can be 4:4:4:4 FULL RAW or 4:2:2/4:2:0
at 16 bits, 14 bits, 12 bits, 10 bits and 8 bits per RGBA/YCbCrA pixel channel.
d) Has User-selectable Time Lapse intervals from X-frames per second to many minutes or hours per frame.
e) Records multiple files at same time with varying/user-selectable recorded frame rates
and aspect ratios, multiple file container formats including H.265/H.264, AVI2, MOV, MP4,
JPEG/HEIF/BMP/TIFF and legacy MPG/MPEG-2/MP3 video and audio codecs.
Full Resolution Video/Audio/Metadata can be output to SSDs and/or sent out
to high-speed ports and the lower resolution Proxy Video/Audio/Metadata
can be sent to CFe Cards and/or External recording devices and connections.
f) Has continuous pre-roll where imagery is continuously captured within a 15 second
rotating 8K buffer or a 60 second rotating 4K buffer for instantaneous capture of
stills and video once record button is pressed.
3) Shutter Type: Global Electronic Shutter at up to 1/32,000th of a second.
a) Time Lapse and Shutter Control can be via external computer trigger
over USB, RJ-45 or 802.11 control protocols AND can be set to X-Frames
per second to Multi-Hour intervals per frame grab.
b) Low-speed still photo and video image capture at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 20 fps
