Kinefinity MAVO mark2 S35 E-Mount 6K Camera

Back to the format that shaped a century of cinema optics. The Kinefinity MAVO mark2 S35 E-Mount reads out a Super 35 3:2 CMOS chip at 6144 × 4016 in open gate, around 25 megapixels on a 24 × 16 mm imaging area. Dual native ISO 800 and 3200 sit inside a range stretching from 160 to 81920, and the sensor holds beyond 14 stops of dynamic range — latitude that keeps skin tones intact against a blown practical window, with a second base ISO that earns its keep on night exteriors. Shutter angle runs 0.7° to 358°, so banding under LED walls gets solved on set, not in the grade.

Frame-rate headroom separates it from the earlier S35 generation. Open gate captures to 60 fps, 6K DCI at 6144 × 3240 reaches 75 fps, and the 6K 2.4:1 window pushes to 96 fps. Crop to the M43 imaging circle and 4K DCI runs to 110 fps, 3.8K 2.4:1 to 150 fps; a Super 16 readout carries 2K to 270 fps for product macro and sports inserts. All of it lands internally as Apple ProRes, from 422 LT up to 12-bit ProRes 4444XQ, written to a KineMAG Nano SSD or a third-party NVMe M.2 2280 drive. Anamorphic units get 4:3 and 6:5 readouts with live de-squeeze, covering 2x and 1.33x squeeze glass.

The bundled Active E Mount carries full electronic contacts: iris, focal length and focus of Sony E glass answer to camera-side control, optical stabilisation engages where the lens supports it, and lens data is written into the clip. Beneath it sits the native short-flange KineMOUNT, swapping to PL, LPL or EF adapters without tools or flange recalibration — one body covers a documentary morning on stabilised zooms and a commercial night on PL primes. Two independent 3G/1.5G SDI outputs carry embedded audio and metadata to a switcher and a director's monitor at once, while dual Kinefinity video ports drive KineMON-5U2/7U2 touchscreens or the KineEVF2 OLED finder.

Dual XLR inputs with 48 V phantom, 24-bit/48 kHz linear PCM, LTC timecode in and out and RS422 sync cover multi-camera rigs and remote heads. A hybrid plate accepts V-mount or BP-U packs, backed by 11–26 V DC input. KineLOG3 with custom 3D LUT import keeps looks matched across a fleet, and 30-second pre-roll saves the reaction shot nobody can stage twice.
