FEATURES
The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K L is a full-frame digital cinema camera designed to deliver maximum image quality and operational flexibility typical of modern cinematic productions.
Its 12K (12,288 x 8040 pixels) RGBW sensor with an integrated optical low-pass filter ensures exceptional detail, extremely natural color rendition, and a 16-stop dynamic range, ideal for handling high-contrast scenes and HDR workflows.
The camera body is fully modular and customizable: side plates and numerous mounting points allow for configuring the camera according to production needs, from lightweight rigs for handheld shooting to complex setups for cinema, advertising, or VFX. The active L-Mount allows the use of modern full-frame optics and a wide range of adapters, significantly expanding creative possibilities.
The PYXIS 12K L records in Blackmagic RAW at all resolutions, with the ability to simultaneously generate H.264 proxies for a faster workflow. It features dual CFexpress slots and a high-speed USB-C port for direct recording to external SSDs. The 4" touchscreen display offers immediate camera control, while 12G-SDI connectivity, professional audio, high-precision Time Code, and a 10G Ethernet port allow integration into multi-camera productions and cloud workflows with Blackmagic Cloud and DaVinci Resolve.
