    “8K high-resolution video streaming can be implemented in a wide range of fields such as live video distribution and aerial videography”, the company said. The Micro Four Thirds form factor enables a the BOSMA G1 8K to have a compact form factor.

    • 7680 x 4320 pixel resolution (approximately 33 million) (4/3 CMOS image sensor, 18.84 mm x 10.60 mm);
    • 8K/30p real-time streaming over HDMI 2.1 output;
    • RTSP and SRT video transmission protocol support;
    • CFast 2.0;
    • long recording time capability via connection to an external SSD and remote control functionality.

    The camera encodes video in H.265 HEVC Main 10 Profile and High Profile H.264/AVC. Sound/voice codecs are handled as AAC/PCM, and video file containers include MOV/MP4. Recording bit rates are 200M for 8K/30p and 100M for 4K/60p. Color tone is 10 and 8 bits, while sound is either 24 or 16 bits with sample rates of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz.

    • Bit rate control methods are VBR and CBR, and available frame rates for 8K include 30/25/24 fps and for 4K 60/50/30/25/24 fps.
    • Using color gamuts of SDR BT.709 and HDR BT.2020, and will dynamic range as SDR8, SD10, and HDR10.
    • The included single HDMI output handles a maximum of 8K/30p.

  • something smells strange here,

    only records up to 30 minutes, what is this?????!! passed like a photo camera then used as a videocamera for paying less taxes????

    What is this !!!! bitrate limited to 200mb 8k30p and 100mbps at 4k 60p.

    10 bit no external RAW and you tell me $5000 is cheap!! damm sure the know something i dont.

  • Woooooho, another ultra-hackable shit!

  • I mean, if you want an 8K cube get the Z Cam F8.

  • @DrDave

    It is nice to have alternative, as no one knows the amount of chips Z-CAM still have. As the supply will end (I expected it to start really happening in February already, but they got new batch) it will be the end of Z_CAM as we know it, they will need totally new cameras and designs.

    As I told - they already are selecting the models they like to sell to dealers, at least outside major markets.

  • Saw somewhere that this camera probably uses the same sensor as the (dead?) 8k camera from Sharp.

    Anyone knows who is making this sensor?

  • It would be better if it did 8k 60p, but what do you want for $5000?

  • All suddenly kinefinity sounds good.

  • 12 bit fanless global shutter, I like the sound of that. https://www.astrodesign.co.jp/english/product/ab-4830_ac-4829

  • Specs for the model 4830--12 bit global shutter fanless.

  • 12 but and 12 stops DR doesn’t sound bad at all for a global shutter sensor.

    I’m planning on buying the chronos 2.1 for appetite appeal shots for food products and effects. Any comments on that camera?
