The Studio Camera 4K Pro boasts all the features of the Plus model as well as 12G-SDI, professional XLR audio, brighter HDR LCD, 5 pin talkback, and 10G Ethernet IP. Studio Cameras cram tons of professional-caliber features into one compact, easy-to-transport build. This series of cameras from Blackmagic Design offer easy-to-read displays, intuitive controls, and enhanced connectivity to provide flexible and comprehensive tools.

Capture amazing video no matter the lighting. Studio Cameras boast a 4K sensor that features gain from -12dB (100 ISO) up to +36dB (25,600 ISO) so it's optimized to reduce grain and noise in images while maintaining full dynamic range. The sensor’s resolution of 3840 x 2160 makes it ideal for both HD and Ultra HD projects.

Studio Cameras feature Blackmagic’s 5 color science, delivering the same imaging technology found in digital film cameras. The integrated DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector helps you get better images and can be controlled from a switcher for a more streamlined workflow. Due to its 13 stops of dynamic range, Studio Cameras offer darker blacks and brighter whites, making color correction a breeze. All models support 23.98-60 fps.

Track and frame your shots fast and with confidence using the Studio Camera’s 7” viewfinder. Onscreen overlays show vital shooting information, while menus for camera settings let you load and customize presets. Apply 3D LUTs for monitoring shots with your desired color and look. Get tactile control with physical buttons and knobs that let you adjust brightness, contrast, focus peaking, and more. Reassign functions to each button to fit your filming style.

Interconnect your consumer and broadcast equipment easily with the Studio Cameras’ HDMI with tally, camera control, and record trigger. Use with a live ATEM mini switcher or record Blackmagic RAW to USB disks. You also get headphone and mic connections, 2 high-speed USB C expansion ports, and built-in microphones for streamlined audio recording. These Studio Cameras utilize advanced Blackmagic OS, a user-friendly camera operating system that uses the most up-to-date technology. All camera features run independently for smoother operation and streamlined control.
