Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Blackmagic Studio Camera!
We are extremely excited to have designed the Blackmagic Studio Camera
and Micro Studio Camera 4K. Ever since I was a teenager I have loved live
production, it’s so exciting!
Traditionally cameras with talkback and tally were very expensive and physically
large, so hard to manage. We really wanted to solve this problem by designing
a more compact camera that included all the talkback, tally and camera control
features of physically much larger cameras.
That’s why the Blackmagic Studio Camera was developed. We wanted to build
a much smaller camera for portability, however normally small cameras have
small tiny screens. We did not want that. What we really wanted was a much
larger viewfinder! The result is Blackmagic Studio Camera, a small broadcast
camera with a very large viewfinder that’s wonderful to use! Precise focus and
framing are so easy with a viewfinder this large!
Of course you get tally indicators, talkback, massive built in battery and of
course a fantastic quality camera with flexible MFT lens mount. It’s everything
you need in a complete package! You can plug in larger wind protected
microphones even with phantom power and with user installable optical fiber,
you can add an SFP module when you need to run your camera miles away
from your switcher! If you need, you can even add a HyperDeck Shuttle and
use the camera for general production use!
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K takes the small size and capability of
Blackmagic Studio Camera even further! This tiny camera pairs an amazing
Ultra HD sensor with an incredibly tiny chassis and a host of remote control
options. Now you can capture broadcast production footage from previously
impossible locations, all with complete control from an ATEM switcher or via
custom remote.
We hope you use your new camera for some amazing live productions and
produce some fantastic looking work! We are extremely excited to see what
creative work you produce!
