Blackmagic Design Production Camera 4K Camcorder

Product Information

Blackmagic Design have since announced the Ursa and the Studio Camera, but for now even the Production Camera is still pretty hard to get hold of. Advanced Ultra HD film scanner with capstan based transport for delicate archive film, new light source for higher speed HDR, plus 35mm and 16mm scanning via Thunderbolt to Mac and Windows computers. Great as a portable mixer or a signal switcher, it’s being adopted by everyone from conference producers to AV technicians looking for simple HDMI switching. The 77mm lens cap easily snaps on to protect your camera’s lens from scratches, dust, moisture, and fingerprints when the camera is not in use. Editing any 4K footage will give your system a workout and the ProRes 422 files produced by the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K are no exception.

The wide input voltage of 12-30V means you can connect external professional battery packs that will let you operate the camera longer while recharging the internal battery at the same time. EF lens mount for interchangeable optics, high resolution 4K Super 35 size sensor, global shutter, visually lossless compressed CinemaDNG RAW and ProRes 422 (HQ) file format.I reviewed the Cinema Camera for Filmmaker last fall, so now I’m going to focus on the Production Camera — which I tested for two weeks in July — and, to a lesser extent, the Pocket Camera, which I’ve owned since January. Added support for custom presets and LUTs to be retained after software updates from this release onwards. Designed to match the colorimetry and color science of the camera, the 2, 4 and 6 stop filters provide you with additional latitude even under harsh lighting.

If you want to see your shots at full resolution, you may want to check out some of the newer monitors such as the Dell 28 Ultra HD monitor. Massive 4 M/E live production switcher with 40 standards converted 3G-SDI inputs, 24 x 3G-SDI aux outputs, 4 DVEs, 16 ATEM Advanced Keyers, 4 multiviews and 2 separate SuperSource for 12 DVEs in total. With outstanding 4K footage at your disposal, the Blackmagic Production Camera performs at incredibly high standards. The multifunction handgrip features an ergonomic design that puts important functions such as ISO, WB and shutter buttons at your fingertips.Get 12G-SDI and HDMI connections that support all SD, HD and Ultra HD video standards up to 2160p60. The LCD monitor on the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 and Pro models is a more advanced display that can be tilted up and down so it’s easy to monitor your shot from any position.

You get the same menus and interface found on URSA Mini cameras, including on screen overlays for recording parameters, status, histogram, focus and peaking indicators, and playback controls.Best of all, when shooting is complete you can simply move the external disk to your computer and start editing and color correction from the same disk, eliminating file copying. This prevents clipping of the brightest parts of a scene but we found we overrode this setting about half the time as we preferred to allow small parts of the scene to clip in favor of having a little more exposure. The 6K Pro model features 2 mini XLR connections, allowing you to record 2 separate audio tracks using 2 mics, without an external mixer. Low profile panel features 3 high resolution trackballs and 12 precision machined knobs to access the primary color correction tools.
