Good news comes for filmmakers who look at the bank to get the highest quality images without breaking. Today, it was the turn of Blackmistic design, as it announced the new Blackmazic Pixis 12K.
As a filmmaker, currently on the lookout for my next cinema body, the most exciting cameras I was considering last year were blackmizic designs Pyxis 6k And Blackmiagic Design Ursa Cine 12k LfDon’t even start me 17KAfter using many blackmizic design bodies over the years, their old models have a continuity image of quality stability. Not only lab test types of glasses. Rather, I am referring to the way the image looks directly out of the camera. It is completely subjective, but I like the look. This is something that I will try to get in posts with other cameras. And, with a blackmizic design, it seems to come out of the box.
Add to the other constant that I am guessing that you know well, the blackmistic design gives a high emphasis on the price for your dollar. In other words, you get a lot for your money. Therefore, I think I should not be surprised to know that today in NAB, the company announced a new addition to the Pyxis line, Blackmagic Design pyxis 12kIn terms of both the price point and feature set, the camera descends the right between the two cameras that I was considering. This Ursa cine borrows the sensor from 12k LF and puts it inside the small body of pixis, giving you a crazy 16 stop of the dynamic range for only $ 4,995.
It comes with a full frame RGBW sensor and, like his younger brother, offers three lens mount options: PL, L, and Locking EF. It has dual CF express media recorders, 10G ethernet connections, and is designed for ease of use with Blackmiagic Cloud. All this comes in the box format of the original Pyxis model, with its many growing points and design which lends themselves to rigged.
The original resolution of the camera is a stellar 12,288 x 8,040, but naturally, with full HD -can be shot with low resolutions, as well as gives users the final flexibility. The camera can shoot up to 112 FPS (40 FPS at 12K) at 8K. Users can also choose the option of open gate recording and can easily accommodate in enamorphic shoots without the need for crop on large sensors.
The unit supports alternative Ursa Cine EVF. It can record in Blackmazic Raw when recording H.264 proxy in real time. And 48-volt for audio is 12G SDI to connect additional surveillance equipment with phantom power and a mini XLR input.
The new Pyxis 12K is the best fit for you or not, only one question is that you can only answer. But one thing is sure: Nowadays, we are really bad for choice.
