Video

The dome features 6 projectors stitched together, supporting 8k (8192 × 8192 px) or 4K (4096 x 4096 px) fulldome video. For quicker rendering, 1920 x 1920 px suffices. The dome can also do equirectangular 2:1 content which it reframes to fulldome 1:1. All fulldome files are essentially a square with a circular image. Stereoscopic is side by side and similar to the VR180 format.

You can test footage yourself in After Effects. Use effect VR converter > To Fulldome.
