Blackmagic 6K Studio Camera Pro

Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro

New more powerful studio camera model featuring an EF lens mount, a larger 6K sensor for improved colorimetry and fine detail handling, ND filters and integrated live streaming via Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro shares the same compact all-in-one design of the studio camera family with a lightweight carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate body, a large built-in 7" HDR viewfinder and powerful streaming connections.

Exceptional low-light performance

Studio cameras Blackmagic have the same features as large studio cameras, miniaturized into a single, compact and portable design. In addition, with the dynamic range of the digital film camera and color science, the cameras can handle extremely difficult lighting conditions while producing cinematic-looking images. The sensor features an ISO of up to 25,600 so customers can create incredible images even in low-light locations. Advanced features include talkback, counting, camera control, built-in color corrector, Blackmagic RAW recording to USB discs, live streaming, and more. In addition, the new Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 and 6K Pro models add integrated live streaming via Ethernet or mobile data so customers can place cameras remotely, almost anywhere in the world.

Designed for live productions

While the Blackmagic Studio camera is designed for live production, it's not limited to using it with a live switcher. That's because it records RAW Blackmagic to USB disks, so it can be used in any situation where customers use a tripod.

7-inch viewfinder for easy framing

The large 7" viewer makes it perfect for jobs like chat shows, TV production, broadcast news, sports, education, conference presentations, and even weddings. The large bright display with side handles, touchscreen, and physical controls makes it easy to keep track of shots while being comfortable wearing for long periods of time.

Cinematographic images in live productions

Incredible sensors combined with Blackmagic generation 5 color science offer customers the same imaging technology used in digital film cameras. The color corrector can even be controlled from the switch. With 13 stops of dynamic range, the camera has darker blacks and brighter whites, perfect for color correction. Ideal for both HD and Ultra HD production, the 4K models have a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and the 6K model has a resolution of 6144 x 3456. In addition, all models support 23.98 to 60 fps.

Compatible with economical photographic lenses

With the popular EF or MFT lens mounts, Blackmagic Studio cameras are compatible with a wide range of affordable photographic lenses. Photographic lenses are of incredible quality because they are designed for use in high-resolution photography. To eliminate the need to adjust the lens manually, optional focus and zoom demands allow customers to adjust the lens from the tripod handles like a large studio camera. It gives customers the same feeling as an expensive B4 transmission lens.

Professional connections

Unlike consumer cameras, the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 and 6K Pro models have SDI connections that include talkback so the switch operator can communicate with the cameras during live events. That means the director can talk to camera operators to guide shot selection, eliminating the problem where all cameras could have the same shot, at the same time. The talkback connector is integrated into the side of the camera and is compatible with standard 5-pin XLR streaming headphones.

Blackmagic cameras have many connections to connect to both consumer and streaming equipment. The advanced Blackmagic Studio Camera Pro models are designed for broadcast workflows, so they have 12G-SDI, 10GBASE-T Ethernet, talkback and balanced XLR audio inputs. 10G Ethernet allows all video, counting, talkback and camera power through a single connection, so setup is much faster. That's like an SMPTE fiber workflow, but using a standard Category 6A copper Ethernet cable, so it's much lower.

Customers can now place cameras remotely, anywhere in the world, as the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 and 6K Pro models have incorporated live streaming. This means customers can place a camera in a remote location and it can generate an H.264 HD live stream that is sent over the internet back to the studio. Simply connect the camera to the Internet using the built-in Ethernet connection, or customers can connect a 4G or 5G phone to the USB-C port for transmitting via remote data.

Integrated neutral density filters

Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro features high-quality, remote-controllable ND filters that allow customers to quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. Designed to accommodate the camera's colorimetry and color science, the 2-, 4- and 6-stop filters give customers extra latitude even under harsh light. The filters are designed to filter optical and IR wavelengths evenly, removing IR contamination from images. ND filters can be controlled electronically using the function buttons on the back of the camera, using buttons on demand and remotely. Because they can be controlled remotely by the camera control operator, the camera operator is free to focus on getting the perfect photo.
