Camera Video Output
HD Monitoring Output
The camera’s full size HDMI connector outputs 1080p HD video so you can easily connect
to monitors or even consumer television sets to preview your images. This 10-bit output also
supports HDR and on screen overlays showing full camera status, making it perfect for on
setmonitoring.
HDMI monitoring can be helpful when accessing the LCD is impractical, such as when
the camera is secured high on a jib arm, on a crane, or mounted on a vehicle. Monitoring
information is displayed on your HDMI output by adjusting the HDMI overlays options in the
display settings menu. HDMI overlays provide frame guides and information such as recording
details and camera settings. If you simply want to monitor your shots, you can always turn
overlays off for a clean HDMI output.
By using a converter like the Blackmagic Micro Converter HDMI to SDI, you can convert the
signal to SDI, allowing you to connect to SDI monitors, capture devices, broadcast switchers
and other SDI devices. You can even power the Blackmagic Micro Converter HDMI to SDI via
your Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K’s USB port.
Using DaVinci Resolve
Shooting with your Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K is only part of the process of creating film
and television content, and just as important is the process of media backup and management
as well as editing, color correction and encoding final master files. Your Blackmagic Cinema
Camera 6K includes a version of DaVinci Resolve for Mac and Windows so you have a complete
solution for shooting and post production!
NOTE We recommend using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve for accurate color
treatment of clips shot using Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K.
After connecting your CFast, SD card or SSD to your computer, you can use DaVinci Resolve’s
‘clone’ tool, in the ‘media’ page, to create running backups as you shoot. This is recommended
as any type of media is susceptible to becoming damaged or developing a fault so creating
backups means your shots will be immune to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to
backup your media, you can then add your clips to the DaVinci media pool, then edit, color
correct, and finish your production without ever having to leave DaVinci Resolve.
