Kinefinity Mavo 6K Cinema Camera Body

Kinefinity MAVO 6K Cinema Camera

High speed S35 6K CMOS image sensor

MAVO uses advanced colour processing architecture and new CMOS image sensors to achieve low noise and high latitude dynamic images.

Super35mm CMOS Sensor

The Mavo uses a completely new 6K CMOS imaging sensor with over 14 stops of latitude for detailed, cinematic images. 6K acquisition allows you the creative control to crop and manipulate your image when delivering in 4K, or to downsample to very sharp 4K images with a low noise floor. While its industry standard Super35mm size allows you to make the most a huge variety of high quality lenses on the market, allowing the Mavo 6K to fit seamlessly into your productions.

6K ProRes and Raw recording to Internal SSD's

Mavo allows for several raw recording options, CinemaDNG or .KRW files at either 3:1, 5:1 or 7:1 compression for pain free post production. You also get the option to record in all the flavours of Prores up to Prores 444XQ for projects where raw recording is not necessary. All of this is recorded internally onto 7mm SSD's. Removing the need for expensive and large external recorders.

High Frame Rates at High Resolutions

With 6k recording up to 66fps, 4K up to 100fps and 2K up to 192fps, Mavo's frame rates certainly don't disappoint. The frame rate can also be specified exactly to an accuracy of 0.001fps. These frame rates can be quickly changed on the fly with the use of presets, changing sensor crop, frame rate, resolution, shutter speed and codec with just the push of a button.

Compact Modular Design

Despite the high performance of the Mavo, the physical size of the camera is remarkably small. Plus coming in at just 990g, the core of the camera is not only small, its light as well. This means the Mavo is perfectly suited to gimbal and drone operators looking for the highest quality in the smallest package.
With the addition of the Sidegrip, Kineback-W and interchangeable lens mounts, Mavo is a very modular platform. Enabling you to customise the camera to your exact requirements.

Interchangeable lens mounts

The Mavo ships with a KineMOUNT. This proprietary mount is used to attach a variety of adapters, so you can use the lenses of your choice. The KineMOUNT is designed to be light with active electronic contacts, allowing it to work with PL mounting adapter with /i tech and new cordless EF mounting adapter, EF mounting adapter with KineEnhancer, Nikon F mounting adaper, Sony E adapter, PL/EF mounting adapters with electronic NS, etc.

Stunning Images

Both MAVO and MAVO LF can shoot 6K wide 66fps, 4K wide 100fps slo-mo. Both slow-mo and normal frame rate can get the same superior images, more than 14 stops of latitude, pleasing skin tones and shadow details are reserved perfectly. With 6K 3:2 aspect ratio, in addition to the conventional 16:9 and 17:9 standard aspect ratio, the CMOS sensor can also provide a variety of image formats, such as 4:3, 6:5 S35 anamorphic shooting, even the open gate 6016×4016, up to 24 million pixels’ images!

MAVO uses a high-speed, low-noise S35 CMOS image sensor (cropping factor is 1.5) and the dynamic range is more than 14 stops at 6K resolution and various cropping modes. The frame rate is up to 66fps at S35 6K Wide and is up to 100fps at M43 4K Wide. The bit depth of RAW format is 12 bits. When ProRes, it also supports in-camera oversampling, which directly outputs S35 4K/3K/2K resolution. Since the native frame rate is much higher than TERRA 6K, the “rolling” effect is also much lower than TERRA 6K.

Smooth Post-workflow: ProRes444 and Compressed cinemaDNG

Also, MAVO provides three kinds of intermediate codecs suitable for editing and color grading to simplify the workflow and provide the maximum room for post-processing. For the Apple ProRes, it can work up to ProRes444XQ and ProRes444 now. For KineRAW, KRW2.0 as compressed RAW has compression ratio from 2:1~10:1. To work with Davinci Resolve, MAVO can record cinema DNG now, and the compression ratio can be set to 3:1, 5:1, or 7:1.

MAVO records compressed RAW footage as CinemaDNG which is supported by Davinci Resolve natively.so that you can directly import, edit and grade the CinemaDNG footage shot by MAVO in Davinci Resolve! No matter 3:1, 5:1 or 7:1, every format is able to achieve super high quality image and room for post-production.

MAVO even supports highest format as Apple ProRes444XQ, 444, also 422HQ/422/LT/Proxy. As the most popular intermediate code, ProRes is undoubtedly the industry standard, supported by all editing and color correction software natively. Note: depending on resolution and frame rate, not all resolutions and frame rates can record 444XQ and 444.

Wireless Camera: KineBACK-W on DarkTower

After inserting a wireless card (based on DarkTower platform) into the new KineBACK-W, MAVO and MAVO LF turn into a wireless camera: wireless video transmission and wireless lens control system (support Movcam), which greatly simplifies the connection between the camera and the accessories, improves reliability and durability significantly. The wireless video can work with 2000ft/3000ft based on different wireless cards(DT2000/DT3000).
