Blackmagic PYXIS 12K

This advanced digital film camera is built as a single, highly refined platform that is offered in three distinct versions, each with a fixed lens mount. When choosing this model, the mount is selected at purchase and cannot be changed later, ensuring maximum mechanical rigidity and optimal optical alignment. The camera is available with L‑Mount, EF‑Mount or PL‑Mount, allowing filmmakers to commit to the lens ecosystem that best suits their production needs while maintaining identical performance across all variants. 

At the heart of the system is a revolutionary full frame 36 × 24 mm RGBW sensor with a resolution of up to 12,288 × 8,040 pixels. Combined with 16 stops of dynamic range and a built‑in optical low pass filter precisely tuned to the sensor, the camera delivers extremely fine detail, natural skin tones and smooth highlight roll‑off. The RGBW design improves sensitivity and color accuracy, making it suitable for high‑end cinema, episodic television, commercial production and demanding documentary work. 

The body is engineered for maximum rigging flexibility without compromising strength. It is precision CNC‑machined from aerospace‑grade aluminum, resulting in a compact and lightweight design that remains extremely rigid. Multiple 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch mounting points on the top and bottom, along with interchangeable side plates, make it easy to configure the camera for handheld use, studio setups, gimbals, cranes or drones. This modular construction allows the same core camera to adapt seamlessly to very different production environments. 

Recording is handled via dual CFexpress card slots, supporting high‑resolution 12‑bit Blackmagic RAW for maximum image quality. At the same time, the camera can record lightweight H.264 proxy files, which can be uploaded automatically through the built‑in Ethernet connection to Blackmagic Cloud. This enables immediate access for editors working in DaVinci Resolve, significantly accelerating collaborative workflows. Extensive metadata, including lens data, camera settings and slate information, is captured automatically to streamline post‑production and color grading. 

Operation is powered by the latest Blackmagic OS, displayed on a bright 4‑inch Full HD touchscreen with 1,500 nits brightness. The interface provides fast access to exposure tools, focus assist, frame guides, LUTs and audio controls, ensuring efficient on‑set operation. High frame rate options across multiple resolutions, from 12K open gate to lower resolution formats, offer exceptional creative flexibility without sacrificing image quality.
