4K becomes past style Sony begins shooting 8K Ultra HD video

Sony uses UHC-8300 to photograph St. Peter's Basilica

As a brother in the field of broadcasting and television, Sony will naturally shoot 8K videos without false hands. This shot adopted the UHC-8300 broadcasting machine officially released in September 2017. After entering the era, in order to ensure high-pixel picture quality, many broadcast cameras use Super 35 large-size sensors, and even many studios directly use the movie machine for shooting. The UHC-8300 conforms to the trend and uses a Super 35-size CMOS sensor (Sony calls it a 1.25-inch model), but the frightening part is the use of a three-piece sensor structure similar to a 2/3-inch type broadcaster, which is passed through a beam splitter. RGB trichromatic light is injected into each CMOS sensor. UHC-8300 sensor photosensitive area and X1D, GFX50s medium format camera similar to effectively guarantee the quality of 8K.

The UHC-8300 can shoot 8K video (resolution 7680×4320) at 120fps per second. Although the resolution is slightly inferior to the 8192×4320 of the RED WEAPON 8K VV, the win is twice as fast as the frame rate and the output per second. The number of pixels reached 3.981 billion. In order to accommodate such huge amounts of data, in the St. Peter's Cathedral shooting scene, Sony has equipped the UHC-8300 with two PWS-4500 4K Live servers.

However, during the entire Mass, Sony only conducted 4K live video, UHC-8300 was only used to shoot 8K 120P HDR video, perhaps during the CES2018 can see the 8K St. Peter's Basilica Christmas Mass shooting UHC-8300 mass.
