Most decoders are only optimized around UHD (4K), which is 3840x2160-that is a difference of 6,156,288 pixels! So, we knew that encoding to the 5.6K resolution wouldn’t be feasible, but if we changed the projection, we could fit the same amount of resolution into a much smaller container size. However, when faced with a camera that captures source resolutions of 6K video and 18MP photos, even with the power of GP1 on our side, some tricky challenges arose.įor example, once you have a 5.6K stitched equirectangular video, that is equivalent to a resolution of 5376x2688, which is near impossible to encode with a modern encoder and, to make things more challenging, most high-end devices (PCs and smartphones alike) struggle to decode such a large file. Thanks in large part to the power of the GP1 Chip that is the heart of MAX, we are proud to report that all of these goals are achieved with MAX. Improving processing of sensor data store as metadata.In order to achieve these goals, we focused on the following key technical areas: Improve the spherical stitching and blending quality established with Fusion.Fine grain control of stabilization options.Maintain playback compatibility with mobile devices.Increase final stitched resolution output.Significantly decrease the time users spend editing 360 in post-production.To get started, it’s best to look at the key goals we identified when we started developing MAX: Two different resolutions, one incredible output-read on to find out how. With MAX, spherical videos are captured at 6K resolution and stitched to 5.6K, and spherical photos are captured at 18MP resolution and stitched to 16.6MP. Take resolution for example, specficially the difference between capture and stitched resolutions.
360 file format that set MAX apart from existing 360 cameras, including GoPro Fusion.Īnd now that MAX is out in the wild, we want to share the backstory of some of MAX's inner workings that tech specs at face value, especially in 360 capture, just can't convey properly. With the release of GoPro MAX, we've introduced some unique, new 360 modes and features as well as a.
