Each of the Obsidian's six 190° lenses records to an individual microSD card while six microphones capture PCM-format audio. The audio input jack can be used to sync with a Zoom H2N recorder. Recording options include time-lapse functions, log mode, and DNG-format still capture. Imaging features include a 12MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, 10 stops of dynamic range in video (12 in still), and a 100–3200 ISO range with manual control via the Kandao app.
GigE connectivity enables you to transfer files, provide power (PoE), and preview your footage using the Obsidian S's Ethernet port. Connect the camera to an optional Wi-Fi router for image preview and remote control, or use the downloadable Kandao app for Bluetooth smart device control. In default mode, the exposure of each lens is individually calculated with white balance based on the master lens. The app's playback function enables high-res VR viewing on standard display devices.
In addition to PoE, the camera can be powered using 12 VAC power or by two Canon LP-E6 batteries (available separately). A protective carrying case, a Zoom sync cable, an Ethernet cable, and a shoulder strap are also included with the Obsidian S camera.
