TERRA 4K BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Kinefinity Inc. has been developing cameras covering optical design to FPGA, circuits and software, with
assistance from filmmakers, broadcasting industry and academic schools.
Large format MAVO LF and flagship S35 camera MAVO 6K are the latest 6K cameras with high performance.
TERRA 4K is the entry-level cinema camera but as easy as DSLR for video shooting. Employing sub S35 frame
CMOS imaging sensor, TERRA 4K records up to 4K+ resolution, with 4K wide up to 100fps and 2K wide up to
240fps, can shoot either ProRes or RAW.
Sub S35 3:2 CMOS imaging sensor: crop factor is 1.85; but it is 1.3 if with KineEnhancer;
Dual ISO: 3200/800, low noise level and high latitude image no matter low light or regular shoot;
ProRes: ProRes recording at full resolution, in-camera oversampling 4K to 2K, super image quality;
Compressed RAW cDNG: The compression ratio of cDNG can be set to 3:1, 5:1, or 7:1, which is
supported by DaVinci Resolve for editing or grading;
Compressed RAW KRW 2.0: It might be enabled in firmware in 2019;
240 fps: Up to 240fps@2K Wide; up to 150fps@3K Wide; up to 100fps@HiSpeed 4K Wide;
Low rolling effect: Image quality is still high even for moving shoot;
13+ stops with KineLOG3: Preserve highlight and shadow perfectly, provide maximum room for
post;
Custom LUT: Support third-party 3D LUT from shooting to post;
2.5-inch 7mm professional KineMAG SSD as Record Media, compatible with consumer-type SSD;
KineMOUNT (Interchangeable mounting system) supports PL/EF/Sony E Mount and even EF/PL
Mount with e-ND;
Multiple monitoring outputs: Video port x2 and HD output x1 on the body; 3G SDI output X2
through KineBACK-W.
This is TERRA, a high-performance sub S35 cinema camera with such a compact body, no boundaries for
creating: suitable for both one-man job and film crew shoot without limitation; ProRes codec enables fluent
post workflow. With professional ports, TERRA is a powerful cinema camera offering amazing footages while
supporting effective post workflow.

SAFETY TIPS
Please read all contents of the manual carefully:
Pay attention to the CAUTION and NOTE;
Do not use the camera near water in case of water droplets splash on the camera body;
Do not expose the camera to severe vibration;
Do not use camera under direct sunlight; operating temperature should be from 0 ℃ to 40℃；
Do not use the camera near strong magnetic field, pretty dust, high humidity or lighting storm places;
Avoid condensation during transportation or transitions;
Do not block the vent, or it will cause overheating and damage to the camera;
Do not face the LCD/OLED screen to direct sunlight, and do not squeeze or hit the monitor in case of
any damage to the screen;
Only use accessories recommended by Kinefinity.
While using the camera, please:
Please turn off the camera when you try to attach or detach a lens Mount, KineBACK-W or HDMI
monitor;
Avoid touching the OLPF when attach or detach an adapter, as the optical element is fragile. TERRA 4K
delivered after May 2018 is with new structure, and OLPF can be changed by customers;
KineMOUNT plus EF mounting adapter is a lever-locking (cine-type) EF mount. When mounting a lens
to the camera, the position of red dot in the mount is DIFFERENT from DSLR camera. Secondly, it is
LOCKING RING rotation, NOT lens rotation to make sure EF lens locked firmly and to be contacted well
with pogo-pin contact inside of EF mount in any case (According to the direction of the arrow);
Hold tight the lens to prevent dropping when loosening the locking ring to remove the lens.
Strongly recommend inserting or removing the SSD after camera powers down. If you like to hotswap,
you must Deactivate the SSD at first (SSD section in UI shows SSD: Ins), and then push up the SSD latch
to get the SSD out.

CAUTION Cameras delivered after May 2018 is with the new quick release port, which is for the KineBACK-
W. It is easy to mount it on the body, but please also be careful when you do it. While other
TERRA is with old version port and KineBACK instead of the quick and hard connection,
therefore, please follow the instructions and be cautious when you install/remove KineBACK
to/from camera body.
