Omni is GoPro's synchronized six-camera spherical array that
produces high-resolution, stunning image quality and works
seamlessly with Kolor™ stitching software to produce immersive
content. Proprietary hardware at the center of Omni enables
pixel-level synchronization between all six HERO4 Black cameras.
Other features include:
- Six cameras act as one: Interact with the primary camera in the
array to configure settings or initiate the start/stop of recording
for all six cameras.
- The proven image quality of the HERO4 Black…times six: Produce
high-res images that virtual reality viewers will notice. Omni may
also be used for "over capture"; capture at 8K and extract an HD
deliverable.
- Optimized workflow: capture using Omni, use GoPro Omni Importer
for preview, data management and rendering, fine tune the content
in Kolor Autopano® Video, then proof the content in GoPro VR player
and publish it to the GoPro VR website.
- By collaborating with Adobe®, GoPro further solves the pain
points of editing spherical content by enabling native handling of
360-degree video up to 8K resolution within Adobe® Premiere® Pro
CC, and Adobe After Effects® CC.
