Blackmagic Design PYXIS 12K EF camera

The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K EF mount model combines the power of a cutting-edge full frame 12K RGBW sensor with the widespread accessibility of EF lenses. Designed for filmmakers who already own a collection of DSLR or Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera lenses, this version allows for effortless integration into existing gear setups. With a massive 12288 x 8040 resolution sensor and 16 stops of dynamic range, the camera captures deeply cinematic images with stunning clarity and depth. Its support for open gate 3:2, full height 6:5 anamorphic, and uncropped Super 35 windows offers immense post-production flexibility, whether you're shooting in 12K for high-end cinematic workflows or opting for efficient 4K or 8K formats.

This model stands out not just for its lens compatibility, but for its versatility on set. Engineered from aerospace-grade aluminum, the PYXIS body is robust and lightweight-perfect for handheld, gimbal, or drone work. Dual CFexpress card recorders support sustained, high-resolution capture, and built-in USB-C allows for direct SSD recording or mobile data streaming. The 4" HDR LCD provides intuitive camera control and live monitoring, while optional accessories like the PYXIS Monitor and URSA Cine EVF enhance viewing and operation in any shooting condition. With its blend of professional-grade imaging, EF lens accessibility, and modular flexibility, the PYXIS 12K EF mount model is an ideal solution for creators seeking cinematic excellence with everyday gear.
