That's what makes theatrical films so engaging, and now that same high quality is available for any production.
Imagine shooting in large format when creating independent films, advertisements or even corporate videos !

LARGE FORMAT CINEMATIC DIGITAL FILM SENSOR
Blackmagic PYXIS cameras are equipped with a large full-frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032 or a staggering 12288 x 8040, almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor, allowing you to work with shallow depth of field or use anamorphic lenses for a truly cinematic look.
Whether in bright sunlight or almost no light, the high-performance sensor with wide dynamic range delivers stunning , low-noise images in any situation.
PYXIS also records at up to 120 fps on the 6K model or 112 fps on the 12K version. This powerful sensor, combined with Blackmagic color science, delivers the same quality as more expensive digital film cameras.

FLEXIBILITY WITH FULL FRAME
With its full frame sensor, Blackmagic PYXIS gives you the freedom to work with different cinematic screen formats and aspect ratios without sacrificing quality.
By shooting with the entire sensor area, you get a differentiated 3:2 open gate image, which can also be reframed in post-production.
It is also possible to shoot in true 6:5 anamorphic, without cropping, generating cinematic widescreen images with more detail and resolution. You can even switch to a classic Super 35 window, easily creating close-up versions that perfectly match the open gate plans . All this allows you to produce cinematographic content with maximum quality and creative flexibility.

THREE LENS MOUNT OPTIONS
Blackmagic PYXIS is available in L, EF or PL mount, giving you compatibility with a wide range of cinema and photographic lenses.

The PL model is compatible with professional cinema lenses from Zeiss, ARRI, Cooke and others, without the need for an adapter.
With Blackmagic PYXIS, you have complete freedom to choose the right lenses for your project.

SHOOT INCREDIBLE IMAGES WITH HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR)
The distance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image is called the dynamic range and is measured in stops.
The Blackmagic PYXIS 6K offers a wide range of 13 stops, while the PYXIS 12K achieves an impressive 16 stops, preserving much more detail in highlights and shadows than traditional camcorders.
This allows, for example, to adjust the exposure for an indoor scene, such as a coffee shop, and still keep the details of the intense light coming in through a window.
DaVinci Resolve Studio software is also included, giving you total creative freedom with full exposure adjustment and recall controls when color processing .

EXCELLENT LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE
In digital film, ISO measures the sensor's sensitivity to light. This allows you to shoot in natural light even at night, as higher ISO values mean greater sensitivity.
With dual native ISO up to 25,600, Blackmagic PYXIS models are optimized to minimize image noise while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor. On the PYXIS 6K, the native ISO of 400 is ideal for scenes with controlled lighting, while the higher secondary base ISO of 3200 is excellent for low-light environments.
The PYXIS 12K operates at ISO from 200 to 3200, with performance optimized at 800.
This way, you can capture incredible images even when you don't have time to install lights.

The quality of RAW and the speed of the video!
Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary format designed to capture and preserve the quality of camera sensor data.
With Blackmagic RAW, you have no issues with quality and you get stunning images with incredible detail and color throughout the entire production pipeline, from shooting to editing, colorization and mastering.
It also saves camera settings as metadata, so you can set the ISO, white balance, and exposure in the camera and replace them later in editing; all without losing quality.
Plus, Blackmagic RAW files are small, quick to use and easy to work with.
Only Blackmagic RAW has the highest quality, smallest files and fastest performance .

Color Temperature
Adjusting the color temperature tells the camera how to interpret white and other colors in an image.
Instead of saving images with fixed color values , Blackmagic RAW lets you change the temperature in post production with DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Contrast
Adjusting the contrast or tonal scale of an image can highlight different parts of the image.
While it's best to try to get the best possible image on set, with Blackmagic RAW you have the flexibility to adjust contrast while editing and color correcting without any loss of quality.

ISO
Changing the ISO adjusts the camera's sensitivity to light. Properly exposed shots require a correct combination of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.
Depending on the lighting and exposure settings, you may need to adjust the ISO in post.

Tint
Adjusting the tint is another way to affect the overall color balance of an image.
Unlike saturation or midpoint, which can make reddens redder or yellows yellower, adjusting the hue actually allows you to push colors in different directions.

Saturation
Saturation is the intensity or purity of a color.
The most saturated colors are pure and the less saturated colors have a percentage of gray proportional to their hue.
Adjusting the saturation of Blackmagic RAW images can help to visually enhance or attenuate colors.

Exposure
To make your images look good, you need to make sure they're not too bright (overexposed) or too dark (underexposed).
With Blackmagic RAW, exposure settings can be changed in post production so you can recover shots that weren't properly exposed.

EQUIPPED WITH BLACKMAGIC OS
Thanks to advanced Blackmagic OS, you have an intuitive, easy-to-use operating system with the latest technology.
It's truly modern, and all camera functions operate independently for smoother control, with near-instant launch.
With the same controls and menus as other Blackmagic cameras, you can switch between cameras on set with ease.
The interface uses simple touch and swipe gestures to adjust settings, add metadata, and view the status of the recording.
You can also make advanced camera adjustments like on-screen focus and exposure tools , 3D LUTs, HDR, metadata entry, timecode, Blackmagic RAW settings and more .

GENERATION COLOR SCIENCE
With the same 5th generation color science as the cutting-edge URSA Cine, Blackmagic PYXIS delivers even more advanced image quality with accurate skin tones and true color in every shot.
It features a new 12-bit dynamic range curve designed to capture more color data in highlights and shadows, delivering more compelling images.
Color science also takes care of some of the complex image processing of Blackmagic RAW, ensuring that color and dynamic range data from the sensor is preserved through metadata that can be used in post production.
So, after the color adjustments you make when you finish with DaVinci Resolve, your images look natural and cinematic.

LIVE SYNC WITH BLACKMAGIC CLOUD AND EDITORS
Blackmagic PYXIS supports the creation of a small H.264 proxy file in addition to the original camera media while recording. This means that the small proxy file can be uploaded to the Blackmagic Cloud in seconds, so your media is available in the studio in real time. The ability to transfer media directly to the DaVinci Resolve media bay while editors work is revolutionary and never before! Any editor working anywhere in the world will have the images! If you have multiple cameras, the new multi-source feature on the DaVinci Resolve crop page will display each camera angle in a multiview. Blackmagic Cloud is a revolution in global post production workflows!

THREE POST-PRODUCTION WORKFLOWS

These audio connections allow you to record two separate audio tracks using two microphones without an external mixer .

CUSTOM 3D LUTS TO RECREATE CINEMA LOOKS
Digital film cameras record in a logarithmic color space to preserve dynamic range, which is great during post-production, but when these files are viewed on monitors, they can be displayed with less contrast and saturation.
3D LUTs solve this problem by allowing you to apply a "look" to the monitor to get an idea of how the final images will look during editing.
They can be applied temporarily for monitoring only, or recorded to Blackmagic RAW files for use in post production.
Blackmagic PYXIS is compatible with industry standard 17 and 33 point 3D LUT files. You can also work with the included LUTs, such as Extended Video, Film to Video, Film to Rec.2020, and more.

Because streaming is integrated into the camera, you can view the transmission status and data rate in the viewfinder and LCD.
If you want to establish a wireless return connection to the studio, you can stream to a Blackmagic ATEM Streaming Bridge, which is an H.264 decoder that converts the video stream back to a standard format.
Now, the entire post-production team can follow the filming, live, as it happens.

FAST MULTI-CAMERA SHOOTING IN PERFECT SYNC
Professional cameras include professional features and also have a timecode input, allowing you to shoot with more than one camera while maintaining perfect synchronization.
Simply connect an external time code generator to the BNC time code input and the camera will detect the time code automatically and lock the internal generator.
Now, each camera can start and stop recording, and all shots from all cameras will have the same corresponding timecode. Imagine photographing a music festival with multiple moving cameras. Best of all, DaVinci Resolve automatically finds and syncs shots from all your cameras, so you don't have to waste time selecting thousands of shots!
