The goal of the community driven apertus° project is to create a variety of powerful,
free (in terms of liberty) and open cinema tools that we as filmmakers love to use.
The idea of building an open cinema camera using an Elphel camera for this particular
purpose was born in 2006, found many followers over the years and ultimately resulted
in this project entitled “apertus”.
apertus°’ latest efforts are to build the first ever open hardware and free software
digital cinema camera from scratch: apertus° Axiom. The prototype camera is now being
presented to the public for the first time in Austria.
