The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K PL is a full-frame digital film camera built around a 12,288 x 8,040 RGBW sensor with 16 stops of dynamic range, fitted with a fixed PL mount with /i Technology for direct use with cine prime and zoom lenses on a traditional film set. Lens data is read automatically on electronic lenses, and an iris wheel and touchscreen slider give precise manual control alongside an instant auto-iris button on compatible glass.
Open gate 12K capture runs at up to 40 fps, with windowed 9K, 8K and 4K modes available at progressively higher frame rates up to 112 fps for slow motion work. Every frame is recorded as 12-bit Blackmagic RAW across dual CFexpress Type B card slots, with H.264 proxies generated in real time for editorial and a pre-record buffer that can hold up to 10 minutes of footage before the shot is called.
A 4 inch 1500 nit HDR touchscreen handles on-camera monitoring and menu control, while a 12G-SDI output feeds an external monitor or recorder in Ultra HD. Built-in RTMP and SRT streaming, 10G Ethernet and Blackmagic Cloud connectivity let footage move from set to a DaVinci Resolve project with proxies syncing automatically, and DaVinci Resolve Studio is included with every camera.
The CNC-machined aerospace aluminum body includes multiple 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch mounting points, a standard side plate and an SSD plate in the box, and support for an optional Rosette Plate, PYXIS Monitor, URSA Cine EVF and Pro Handle for run and gun shooting.
