Sony has made test files for its BURANO camera available for free download, showcasing footage in HD, 4K, 6K, and 8K resolutions. To access the files, users are required to register via email. Once registered, users will receive a download link to approximately 50GB of test footage.
What’s included?
These test shots include X-OCN LT files in Full Frame 8.6K, Full Frame Crop 6K, Super 35 5.8K, and Super 35 Crop 4K, as well as Full Frame 8K XAVC H-I and various XAVC-I 4K and HD formats. Clips are 10 seconds long with frame rates of 24p, 48p, and 120p (4K 17:9).
The downloadable footage includes both interior and exterior scenes with challenging lighting and vibrant colors, ideal for testing the camera’s performance across various post-production workflows. The download is free, but as part of the registration process, Sony requests users to provide their email address. After registering, you will receive an email with a link to download the 50GB (or thereabouts) of test files.
To access the sample footage, visit the official Sony BURANO page. While these test files showcase the BURANO’s image capabilities, ensure you thoroughly test the footage before incorporating the camera into active projects to confirm workflow stability. But hey, like Arri and Blackmagic Design, the professional camera makers have you covered with sample footage :)
