The PYXIS 6K EF-Mount by Blackmagic Design is an advanced digital film camera that provides a versatile design, enabling you to personalize your camera setup according to your specific production requirements. This state-of-the-art model showcases a top-notch full-frame HDR sensor, guaranteeing breathtaking image quality. Additionally, it features an optical low-pass filter to improve clarity. This camera provides outstanding performance and storage capabilities with its dual native ISO and dual CFexpress media slots. The body of this product can be easily customized to suit your needs, with various mounting options and side plates for added flexibility. Take your pick from three distinct models of the PYXIS 6K, each offering its own fixed EF-mount lens option.
Due to its flexible design and customizable features, the Blackmagic PYXIS can be easily adjusted to meet the unique needs of any camera user. The PYXIS is expertly constructed from aerospace aluminum using precision CNC machining techniques, resulting in a durable yet lightweight design. Customers can easily attach it to different camera rigs such as cranes, gimbals, or drones. Blackmagic PYXIS provides excellent flexibility for attaching accessories such as handles, microphones, or SSDs, thanks to its various thread mounts on the top and bottom of the body. In addition, the product includes side plates that improve its mounting capabilities. Customers can create a camera that is perfect for any production, ensuring durability and dependability.
The Blackmagic PYXIS boasts a remarkable full-frame sensor that provides a native resolution of 6048 x 4032. This sensor size is much larger than a Super 35 sensor, allowing customers to capture footage with a shallow depth of field and use anamorphic lenses without any cropping, resulting in a truly cinematic aesthetic. No matter the lighting conditions, the camera's remarkable dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600 guarantee that users can capture top-notch images with minimal noise.
By utilizing the entire sensor, customers can capture a distinctive 3:2 image with an expansive field of view. This allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the composition during post-production. The large sensor enables customers to work in true 6:5 anamorphic without cropping, resulting in more detailed and higher resolution widescreen cinematic images than ever before.
The EF model lets customers use high quality photographic lenses customers already own from DSLRs or even Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras
Blackmagic PYXIS can shoot in all standard resolutions and frame rates from HD up to DCI 4K and even 6K. Customers can even shoot stills at 24.6 megapixels. Blackmagic PYXIS will shoot up to 36 fps at 6048 x 4032 3:2 open gate or 60 fps at 6048 x 2520 2.4:1 and 60 fps at 4096 x 2160 4K DCI. For higher frame rates customers can window the sensor and shoot up to 100 fps at 2112 x 1184 Super 16.
The built-in LCD on Blackmagic PYXIS is more than just a simple status display. It’s a 4″ high-resolution HDR touchscreen that is also perfect for monitoring and reviewing shots on set. Its full HD resolution means customers can frame and focus their shots without needing to carry around a bulky external monitor. Customers can even use the display as a focus assist station.
Blackmagic PYXIS features a logical design that puts important functions such as ISO, WB and shutter at their fingertips with both touchscreen and physical controls. A row of 3 customizable function buttons means customers don’t have to go hunting through menus on a tiny screen to find a command. The controls can even be locked to avoid accidentally changing settings during a shot or when the camera is out of reach on a rig.
The Blackmagic PYXIS features two built in CFexpress card recorders, and a USB-C expansion port for recording direct to external flash media disks or an SSD. CFexpress media are more durable and faster than even older media so are perfect for recording full resolution, 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files. Plus, with dual CFexpress slots, customers can keep recording because customers can hot swap full cards without stopping.
