Description
Add a powerful studio camera to your 4K broadcast when using an ATEM Mini or DaVinci Studio with the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K Plus G2. Updated from the HDMI Studio Camera 4K Plus, this compact and lightweight broadcast camera now features a 12G-SDI input, 12G-SDI output, and HDMI 2.0 output for expanded compatibility with SDI switchers. It retains key features such as an active MFT lens mount, 25,600 ISO, 13 stops of dynamic range, tally light, dual USB-C ports, built-in microphones, a 7″ HDR LCD, and redesigned sun hood, while adding 12G-SDI video output and program feed/talkback via SDI.Designed for Live Production
While built for live production, this camera also records Blackmagic RAW to USB disks, making it suitable for tripod-based shooting in many environments. The large 7″ viewfinder is ideal for chat shows, broadcast, sports, education, conferences, and events. Its bright display, side handles, touchscreen, and physical controls ensure comfortable long-term use and easy shot tracking.
Studio Camera Design
Combining camera and viewfinder in one compact unit, it features a carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate body. The 7″ touchscreen allows access to settings, while physical knobs control brightness, contrast, and focus peaking. A tripod mount and mounting plate enable quick setup.
Advanced Low-Light Performance
Gain ranges from -12 dB (100 ISO) to +36 dB (25,600 ISO), minimizing noise while maintaining dynamic range. Native ISO 400 suits studio lighting, while ISO 3200 excels in low light. Gain can be controlled directly or remotely via SDI or Ethernet.
Cinematic Images in Live Production
Blackmagic Generation 5 color science delivers cinematic imaging. With DaVinci Resolve color correction integration and 13 stops of dynamic range, it produces rich contrast and color for HD and Ultra HD workflows up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps.
Affordable Photographic Lenses
Compatible with EF and MFT lenses, the active mount allows remote adjustments. Optional focus and zoom demands provide broadcast-style control without touching the lens, reducing shake and improving operation.
Frame Shots with Large 7″ Viewfinder
The high-resolution display includes overlays, histogram, focus peaking, frame guides, and LUT support. The foldable sun hood protects the screen and improves visibility outdoors.
Physical and Touchscreen Controls
Adjust brightness, contrast, and focus peaking via side knobs. Assign functions like zebra, false color, and LUTs to customizable buttons. The touchscreen provides quick access to menus, presets, and shooting data.
Built-In Tally for On-Air Status
A large tally light indicates on-air (red), preview (green), or ISO recording (orange). It integrates with ATEM switchers via SDI or HDMI for seamless live production workflows.
Talkback Communication
SDI connections support talkback, enabling communication between director and camera operators using standard 3.5mm headsets. Audio channels 15 and 16 handle talkback signals.
Multiple Connectivity Options
Supports HDMI for video, control, and tally via a single cable, plus 12G-SDI connections for professional workflows including program return, control, and talkback.
Camera Control via SDI
ATEM switchers can control camera settings such as color, tally, and lens parameters via SDI or HDMI return data, simplifying setup and operation.
Blackmagic RAW Quality
Blackmagic RAW preserves sensor data for maximum quality, avoiding compression artifacts. It stores metadata for post-production adjustments and offers fast performance with smaller file sizes.
USB-C Expansion
The USB-C port allows recording to external drives, network control, and accessory connectivity. Files can be transferred directly without copying, improving workflow efficiency.
Built-In Microphones
Integrated microphones provide stereo audio with shock and wind resistance. Additional 3.5mm input and headphone output are included.
Monitor Program Video
View program feed directly on the camera via the PGM button, with built-in speaker monitoring. This helps operators stay aware during live productions.
Powered by Blackmagic OS
A modern OS ensures fast startup and smooth operation. Touch gestures simplify control, and advanced tools like LUTs, HDR, metadata, and focus aids are included.
Supports 3D LUTs
3D LUTs improve on-screen viewing while preserving RAW data. LUTs are saved as metadata and can be enabled or disabled during post-production.
Multi-Language Support
Supports 13 languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, and more, with easy switching via menu settings.
Power Options
Includes a 12V DC locking connector and international power supply adapters for reliable operation worldwide.
