Blackmagic cameras have various features and use cases for different environments. From their Pocket cameras to their Studio cameras, Ursa cameras and more - each have their own strengths and limitations. Drake also discusses their Pyxis camera for different applications.
Pocket Cameras
Blackmagic’s pocket camera lineup is a popular choice for their compact size and image quality.
- Pocket 4K: Known for its affordability and micro four-thirds sensor, the Pocket 4K is still in production and offers great image quality despite limited IO.
- Pocket 6K and 6K Pro: These models feature a larger super 35 sensor, better dynamic range, and additional features like a tilting screen, making them more versatile than the 4K.
Studio Cameras
Blackmagic's Studio cameras are designed primarily for use on tripods in controlled environments.
- Sensor and Output: These cameras utilize the same sensors as the Pocket 4K and 6K models but offer more outputs like SDI and HDMI, with the Pro models supporting video over IP via Cat5.
- Special Features: Studio cameras are equipped large monitors and support for Blackmagic’s servo controls, making them ideal for broadcast setups.
Ursa Cinema and Broadcast Cameras
The Ursa series is versatile and suitable for both cinema and broadcast applications.
- Ursa Mini Pro G2 4.6K: This camera merges cinema and broadcast features, offering a super 35 sensor and extensive IO options, but its size and weight make handheld use challenging.
- Ursa Broadcast: Specifically designed for broadcast, this model supports B4 lens mounts and is compatible with older broadcast lenses, providing flexibility in professional settings.
Pyxis Cameras
The upcoming Pyxis camera aims to bridge the gap between the Pocket and Ursa lines. The Pyxis is expected to offer a square form factor, making it easier to rig and more versatile in different scenarios.
Common Features
- Camera Control: All Blackmagic cameras support remote control via Blackmagic switchers, though connection methods vary between models.
- Recording Options: Modern Blackmagic cameras can record in Blackmagic Raw and support USB-C recording to SSDs, with some also offering CFexpress and SD card slots.
- Sensor Matching: Matching the image quality across different Blackmagic cameras can be challenging due to varying sensors. Using LUTs and camera control features can help achieve a more consistent look across multiple cameras.
