Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 6K Pro | EF Mount

Overview

Boost your studio recording with cinematic images using the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 6K Pro. This latest model of the Studio Camera not only boasts a 6K sensor for greater resolution and full RGB color, it also features an active Canon EF mount—providing compatibility with a large array of affordable EF-mount cine-style and still lenses. The Studio Camera 6K Pro now offers live streaming while retaining the talkback, tally, color correction, and raw recording to USB disks of the original 6K version. Built-in, electronically controllable ND filters let you quickly adapt to changing light conditions and a host of both broadcast and consumer interfaces makes it a snap to connect the 6K Pro to your studio setup. The larger 6K sensor combined with Blackmagic generation 5 color science gives you the same imaging technology used in digital film cameras, producing cinematic images for live production. When combined with the built-in DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector, you get much better images than simple broadcast cameras. The color corrector can even be controlled from the switcher. With 13 stops of dynamic range, the Studio 6K Pro camera has darker blacks and brighter whites, perfect for color correction. The sensor features a resolution of 6144 x 3456, which produces truly cinematic images with support for frame rates from 23.98 up to 60 fps.

Equipped with a an active Canon EF lens mount, Studio Camera 6K Pro is compatible with a wide range of affordable cine-style and photographic lenses. Photographic lenses offer incredible quality because they're designed for use in high-resolution photography. Plus, the active lens mount lets you adjust the lens remotely. To eliminate the need to reach around to adjust the lens zoom and focus, the optional focus and zoom demands let you adjust a compatible lens from the tripod handles, just like a large studio camera. This means you avoid camera shake when adjusting the lens, so you can track shots and operate the camera without taking your hands off the tripod. It gives you the same feel as an expensive B4 broadcast lens.

The Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro tucks the benefits of a large studio camera into a single compact design. Its lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced polycarbonate body provides innovative technology in a miniaturized design. The camera is designed for live production, so it's easy to track and frame shots with its large 7" viewfinder. Control is provided via your switcher or software or by using the touchscreen menus for camera settings and knobs for brightness, contrast, and focus peaking. The included tripod mount with 15mm LWS rod ports and mounting plate speeds your setup. Built-in live streaming means you can use the Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro as a remote camera anywhere in the world and generate an H.264 live stream sent via the internet back to your studio. You can even back up your Ethernet link by connecting your 4G or 5G smartphone to one of the USB-C ports. The live stream is converted back to video in the studio by an ATEM Streaming Bridge, which also supports tally, talkback, and camera control. Use the Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro's built-in ND filters to quickly and easily adjust the amount of light entering the camera. Designed to match the color of the camera, the 2, 4, and 6-stop neutral density filters (plus clear) filter both optical and IR wavelengths, eliminating IR contamination. The ND filters can be controlled using the buttons on the camera or remotely.

With 12G-SDI, 10GbE Ethernet, talkback, and balanced XLR audio inputs, the Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro model is designed for use with robust SDI switchers workflows. Interfaces designed for both broadcast and consumer components include HDMI with tally, camera control, a record trigger, and headphone and mic connections including dual XLR ports, and two USB Type-C expansion ports. The 10G Ethernet allows all video, tally, talkback, and camera power via a single connection, so your setup is fast and more affordable. The Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro features gain from -12 dB (100 ISO) up to +36 dB (25,600 ISO), so it's optimized to reduce grain and noise in images while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor. The primary native ISO is 400, which is ideal for use under studio lighting. The secondary high-base ISO of 3200 is perfect when shooting in dimly lit environments. The gain can be set from the camera or remotely from a switcher using the SDI or Ethernet remote camera control.

The large 7" high-resolution screen will totally transform how you work with the camera because it's big enough to make framing shots much easier. The Pro model features an HDR display with extremely high brightness, perfect outdoors in sunlight. On-screen overlays show status and record parameters, histogram, focus peaking indicators, levels, frame guides, and more. You can even apply 3D LUTs for monitoring shots with the desired color and look. The touchscreen also has menus, and you can load and customize presets for different jobs. The included sunshade can be folded to protect the screen for transport, plus it's compatible with sunshades from the Blackmagic Studio Viewfinder. Blackmagic Studio Cameras feature physical buttons and knobs as well as touchscreen controls. Knobs on the right side of the camera allow adjusting of the brightness, contrast, and focus peaking. The focus peaking knob is incredibly useful as it lets you fine-tune the detail highlight, so you can get perfect focus as you zoom. Buttons on the left can have functions like zebra, false color, focus peaking, LUTs, and more assigned to them. You can change the function assigned to each button using the menus. The touchscreen also includes a heads-up display with the most important shooting information as well as menus for all camera settings, LUTs, and custom presets.
