Engineered for professional multi‑camera environments, this advanced live production camera brings the workflow and connectivity of high‑end broadcast systems into a compact, self‑contained design. It is optimised for powerful SDI switchers and long‑distance installations, combining cinematic image quality with robust studio features that simplify cabling, control and operation. The Four Thirds sensor delivers Ultra HD images with 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25 600, ensuring clean results in both brightly lit studios and low‑light venues such as theatres or concert halls.
A large 7‑inch HDR LCD with a resolution of 1 920 × 1 200 pixels and high brightness provides excellent visibility under studio lighting. Integrated side handles, touchscreen menus and dedicated physical controls for brightness, contrast and focus peaking allow operators to frame and track shots comfortably during long broadcasts. The all‑in‑one body replaces the need for a separate viewfinder, reducing rig complexity while retaining the familiar ergonomics of traditional studio cameras.
Connectivity is a key strength of this model. Professional 12G‑SDI output and a dedicated 12G‑SDI program return input carry video, embedded audio, tally, talkback and camera control over standard broadcast cabling. The integrated 10 Gbit/s Ethernet port enables a cost‑effective SMPTE‑style workflow where video, power, control and intercom can run over a single cable when used with compatible infrastructure. HDMI is also available with full camera control support, providing flexibility for mixed environments.
Audio capabilities are tailored for broadcast use, featuring two balanced XLR inputs with switchable mic or line level and phantom power, alongside a 5‑pin XLR talkback headset connection. This ensures reliable communication between camera operators and the gallery without external adapters. Reference input support via Tri‑Sync or Black Burst allows accurate synchronisation in larger studio systems when paired with a compatible studio converter.
Beyond live switching, the camera supports direct recording of Blackmagic RAW to external USB‑C drives in Ultra HD up to 60 fps. Built‑in RTMP streaming over Ethernet or USB‑C makes it possible to stream directly to major platforms, reducing the need for additional hardware in smaller productions. Combined with active Micro Four Thirds lens control and optional focus and zoom demands, this solution delivers a complete studio workflow in a remarkably compact form.
