The Sony Rialto 2 (VENICE Extension System 2) is a sophisticated tethering solution that dramatically enhances the physical versatility of the VENICE 2 camera by allowing the sensor block to be detached from the main body. By extending the sensor up to 40 feet (12 meters) away from the camera chassis via a high-bandwidth cable, it enables cinematographers to capture high-resolution imagery in incredibly confined spaces where a full camera rig would never fit. This system maintains full compatibility with both the 6K and 8K sensor blocks, ensuring that image quality, dynamic range, and frame rates remain uncompromised while facilitating agile handheld work, complex gimbal movements, and specialized rigging for automotive or aerial cinematography.
Key Features:
Sensor Detachment: Separates the 6K or 8K sensor block from the camera body for ultra-compact, lightweight operation.
Extended Reach: Includes 9.8-foot (3m) and 39-foot (12m) cable options for maximum rigging flexibility on set.
No Image Degradation: Transmits full-bandwidth data with zero loss in image quality, maintaining the VENICE 2’s native 8.6K resolution.
Enhanced Control: Features a built-in tilt/roll sensor and four assignable buttons on the sensor block for streamlined remote operation.
Lightweight Rigging: Significantly reduces the weight held by the operator, making it ideal for long-duration handheld or jib work.
Tool-less Transition: Designed for quick setup changes, allowing crews to switch between standard and Rialto modes efficiently.
Accessory Support: Provides multiple 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 mounting points for monitors, handles, and lens motors.
