Audio input options include a mini XLR port on the front and a 3.5mm mic input on the back, along with onboard microphones. The camera also supports SRT streaming, making it a versatile tool for both recording and live streaming applications.
"At a core, it's the same [as the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K], but it's in this body that you can do whatever you want," Bob added, emphasizing the PYXIS 6K's modular design.
Pricing and Availability
The PYXIS 6K starts at $2,995 for each of the three lens mount options, with the Blackmagic Cinema EVF available as an optional accessory. As filmmakers begin to experiment with the camera's rigging possibilities, it will be interesting to see the creative setups that emerge.
Blackmagic Redefines Filmmaking with URSA Cine 12K Camera
Blackmagic has once again pushed the boundaries of cinematography with the introduction of their groundbreaking URSA Cine 12K camera. Built from the ground up, this camera incorporates a range of innovative features and capabilities that are set to revolutionize the filmmaking industry.

Fully articulating screen for enhanced flexibility

10G ethernet port and WiFi connectivity for seamless data transfer
Integration with Blackmagic Cloud for remote collaboration
Focus station with AI lens calibration for precise control
Redesigned URSA Cine viewfinder for improved ergonomics
Bob explained the thought process behind the camera's development: "We decided, what can we do to put everything we've always wanted in a camera, right? So really what we've done is created a camera from scratch, but it has a lot of the sort of feel for what the other cameras were but just some better components to it."
The URSA Cine 12K boasts a large format sensor with 16 stops of dynamic range, delivering unparalleled image quality. The camera supports EF, PL, and LPL mounts, providing compatibility with a wide range of lenses. Additionally, the sensor features an OLPF and built-in ND filters, offering filmmakers even greater control over their shots.
Pricing and Availability
The URSA Cine 12K is expected to roll out over the next month or two, with a price point of around $15,000 without the EVF and $16,000 to $17,000 with the EVF included. While this may be considered expensive for Blackmagic, it is a competitive price for a camera of this caliber.
Future Developments
Blackmagic also teased the upcoming 17K version of the URSA Cine, which will feature a 65-millimeter sensor. This demonstrates the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of digital cinematography and providing filmmakers with the tools they need to bring their visions to life.
As the industry continues to evolve, Blackmagic remains at the forefront of innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower filmmakers to create stunning visuals and captivating stories.
