Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K Expansion Cable
There are two ways to access the expansion port's functions. You can use the expansion cable that
comes with your Micro Studio Camera 4K, or solder your own custom connectors.
The expansion cable provides connectors for the following control options.
1. Power Input
The 12V power input connects via a DC jack and provides power to the Micro Studio Camera 4K,
as well as trickle charging any batteries attached. When mains power is supplied, the camera will
automatically turn on.
2. Reference Input
This allows multiple cameras to be genlocked to a blackburst or tri-level reference signal. Genlocking
cameras to an external reference signal helps to prevent timing errors which may result in the picture
jumping when switching between different cameras.
3. LANC
Connect wired LANC remote controllers to the 2.5mm jack for controlling functions like recording
start and stop, iris adjustment, and manual focus from a tripod arm when using compatible lenses.
4. Pan Tilt Zoom
The RS-422 connector is used to relay pan tilt zoom commands received by Micro Studio Camera 4K
from its SDI input to a motorized head.
5. B4 Communication
The DB-9 connector allows you to power and control B4 broadcast lenses attached to the Micro
Studio Camera 4K via an MFT to B4 adapter. A B4 lens with digital serial communication can be
controlled, and power is supplied when the Micro Studio Camera 4K is connected to external power.
You can adjust settings such as iris, focus and zoom in the same way you would an active MFT lens -
either via an ATEM switcher using the ‘camera control’ menu, or via the other remote control
interfaces offered by the Micro Studio Camera 4K Expansion Cable.”
6. S.Bus Digital Servo
By connecting to a compatible S.Bus receiver using the Futaba J cable, you have 18 S.Bus remote
channels where features of the camera can be assigned to and remotely controlled. These features can
include focus, servo zoom, iris control and other such features. For more information about mapping
functions to S.Bus remote channels, see the ‘Remote Settings’ section of this manual.
