“I am very excited to announce this co-promotion with Sphericam,” said Tim Dashwood, founder/CEO of Dashwood Cinema Solutions. “I believe the self-stitching Sphericam 2 will become the must-have solution for independent professional cinematic 360 content producers in 2016, and there’s no easier-to-use complimentary post-pipeline solution than our 360VR Toolbox.”
The Sphericam 2 camera is the first of its kind to offer full spherical 360 degree capture at high-bitrate 4K resolution, with global shutter, a self-stitching capability, and single-button synchronized recording, in an aluminum casing that fits in the palm of a hand.
“We designed Sphericam 2 to be very high-quality, yet simple to set up and use,” said Jeffrey Martin, founder/CEO of Sphericam Inc. “Dashwood’s 360VR Toolbox compliments it perfectly by providing content producers a simplified post-pipeline, letting them immediate edit in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro from the stitched equirectangular movie files output by Sphericam 2.”
