All this means you can build the perfect camera for any production that is both durable and reliable!
Get the "Hollywood look" with digital film!
Blackmagic PYXIS has the professional features you need for feature films, television shows and documentaries, but now the same quality can be used to create cinematic content for social media, YouTube videos and more. You get the same features as high-end digital film cameras, allowing you to capture deeper colors, greater image detail, and a wider dynamic range between the brightest highlights and deepest shadows. This is why feature films look so stunning, and now you get the same high-end production values for any job.
Large, cinematic digital film sensor!
Blackmagic PYXIS models have a large, full-frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032, or even 12288 x 8040! This is almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor and allows you to shoot with shallow depth of field or use anamorphic lenses uncropped for a true cinematic look. Whether you're shooting in bright light or almost no light, the wide dynamic range and high-performance sensor deliver stunning, low-noise images in all lighting conditions. In addition, PYXIS allows recording at up to 120 frames per second on the 6K model or 112 frames per second on the PYXIS 12K model. This amazing sensor combined with Blackmagic color technology delivers the same quality as the most expensive digital cinema cameras.
Full frame flexibility
Blackmagic PYXIS's large, full-frame sensor allows you to work with a variety of film formats and aspect ratios without sacrificing quality! By utilizing the entire area of the sensor, you get a unique, open-gate 3:2 image, which also enables the re-composition of recordings during post-production. The large sensor allows true 6:5 anamorphic images to be captured without cropping, giving widescreen cinematic images more detail and resolution than before. You can also use the sensor's classic Super 35-sized window to instantly create a "close-up" version of your shot that blends seamlessly with open-gate shots. All this allows you to create distinctive cinematic content in the highest quality!
Capture incredibly high dynamic range (HDR) images
The distance between the lightest and darkest parts of the image is called dynamic range and is measured in light values. The Blackmagic PYXIS 6K has an incredible dynamic range of 13 stops, and the PYXIS 12K has a massive 16 stops of dynamic range, which means they retain more detail in the lightest and darkest areas of the image than regular video cameras. This allows you to adjust the exposure for indoor scenes such as a coffee shop, while preserving the details of the bright outdoor light coming through the window. Plus, the camera comes with DaVinci Resolve Studio, giving you complete creative freedom with full exposure adjustment and restoration controls for color correction!
Exceptional low-light performance
For digital film, ISO measures the light sensitivity of the image sensor. This means that the higher the ISO number, the higher the sensitivity to light, so it's natural
