Kinefinity showed several interesting developments on the NAB 2024 show floor. The company unveiled a new 8K camera prototype based on a new CMOS sensor, and a new EVF is also coming. The new unit features a 1080p Micro OLED panel, diopter adjustment, and an SDI port. This will make it compatible with ample other SDI-enabled cine cameras. KineOS 8.0, also announced here, will bring several updates to the line. NAB 2024 is just another reminder that nothing seems to stop industrial progress. With generative AI dystopic forecasts on the horizon, the capture device manufacturers seem eager to break boundaries. The new Kinefinity 8K CMOS prototype represents this vector, offering potentially incredible capture abilities. Kinefinity 8K prototype Still in the prototype stage, no name has been given to the upcoming Kinefinity 8K camera. It is, however, separated from the current MAVO. The new CMOS sensor will support up to DCI 8K at 66fps and up to 130fps for 4K DCI – double the current cameras’ frame rate. Native ISO will be ISO 800 and ISO 3200, slightly higher than previous models. Dynamic range will remain at around 14 stops (provided by Kinefinity). The camera will be joined by a new SDI module boasting 5 SDI ports. Kinefinity 8K prototype SDI module.
