Fremont, CA—Blackmagic Design is taking preorders for the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera. Further, it’s the first commercial digital film camera system to capture Apple Immersive Video for Apple Vision Pro. Deliveries will start in early 2025. Additionally, Blackmagic will update DaVinci Resolve Studio to support editing Apple Immersive Video early next year. Apple Immersive Video is a 180º media format that leverages ultrahigh-resolution immersive video and Spatial Audio to place viewers in the center of the action.
