Prima Immersive on Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional gives the best high quality immersive 3D video but, sharper than even Apple Immersive Video.
The app at present gives one 16 minute immersive music session of the bluegrass band AJ Lee & Blue Summit, priced at $3.99. A one minute free immersive trailer is out there.
Attempting out Prima on Imaginative and prescient Professional, the sharpness of the picture is actually exceptional. We extremely praised Apple Immersive Video in our Imaginative and prescient Professional overview, and Prima is even larger high quality. After over a decade of streamed immersive video, that is the sharpest I’ve ever tried.
The startup behind Prima Immersive is known as Immersive Firm, and says it constructed a customized digital camera it calls Immersive Digital camera Two to seize the footage. It gives the identical 8K per eye decision, 90 FPS, HDR, and spatial audio as Apple’s customized immersive cameras (primarily based on its NextVR acquisition) and the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, which Prima will help “within the coming months”.
So how is Prima sharper than Apple Immersive Video, if it is the identical decision? The reply is software program, not {hardware}. The startup says it developed “the world’s first immersive video encoder”, particularly designed to compress 8K per eye 90FPS HDR immersive footage, with “industry-leading visible constancy” at 40-80% decrease bitrate than conventional encoders like x265 or Apple’s VideoToolbox.

There are, nonetheless, a couple of methods by which the at present out there immersive video on Prima, captured on Immersive Digital camera Two, is inferior to Apple Immersive Video. The sector of view is barely decrease, round 165ºx150º, moderately than true 180º. Additional, the attitude warp when rotating your head seems to be better. These limitations are of Immersive Digital camera Two, although, not Prima’s software program stack.
With Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive turning into out there to studios, Immersive Firm plans to show Prima into the highest-quality portal for immersive video, a title it has, in my expertise, taken from Apple.
When you personal an Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional you must completely check out Prima Immersive, because the sharpness is actually one thing to behold.
