Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2

Innovative studio camera in a compact design with the same features as large studio cameras. Thanks to the dynamic range and colour processing of a digital film camera, film-quality images can be achieved even in difficult lighting conditions. The sensor is designed for ISO values up to 25,600. So you can take great pictures even in dimly lit environments. Even in moonlight! Advanced features include talkback, tally, camera control, a built-in colour corrector, Blackmagic RAW recording to USB drives, live streaming and more. Focus and zoom demand controls can even be connected for iris control.

Designed for high-performance SDI mixers, the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 features professional 12G SDI and 10G Ethernet connections. This is optimal when the camera is far away from the mixer. There is a 12G-SDI output and a 12G-SDI input for programme feedback with camera control, talkback and tally. The HDMI output supports the same control commands. The 10G Ethernet connection also enables a cost-effective SMPTE-compliant workflow over a single cable.
