Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K G2

The ultracompact Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 ** could be installed anywhere in your studio or on location. This tiny UHD 4K studio camera is designed for live productions and has been updated to feature the same image sensor found in Blackmagic’s Studio Camera 4K Plus G2, which supports 3840 x 2160p60. The camera is equipped with an active MFT mount that can accept native MFT lenses or be adapted to a wide range of other modern and vintage lenses. It outputs 10-bit 4:2:2 video via 12G-SDI and can be remotely controlled from an ATEM switcher using SDI control protocol. The camera packs many professional studio features into a compact form factor, including a built-in color corrector, program return, talkback, and tally indicator.

Two Ways to Connect

Blackmagic Micro Studio Cameras feature HDMI output so are perfect for HDMI switchers such as ATEM Mini. The HDMI supports video, tally, control, and record trigger for a broadcast-style workflow using a single HDMI cable. They also have 12G-SDI so you can connect to SDI-based switchers such as the ATEM Constellation. There’s a 12G-SDI connection for camera video and one for program return. The program return also includes tally, talkback, and remote camera control.

Built-In Microphones

Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera includes built-in microphones so you get sound included in the design making setup much faster. Each microphone is placed at the optimal position meaning you get better stereo separation than what is possible on a regular video camera. There’s also a 3.5mm audio input so you can connect to video microphones when you need to add larger more directional microphones with wind protection. Whether you’re using the built-in microphones or attaching an external mic, the audio is embedded into the SDI and HDMI video outputs so you get perfect audio and video sync.

USB-C for External Disks and Ethernet Control

Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K features a high-speed USB-C expansion port that lets you record to external disks, control the camera via a network, or connect a wide range of accessories. Plug in an external USB disk and the camera can record high-quality 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files for later editing and color correction. That means you can just move the disk to a computer to work and you don’t need to waste time copying files. Or add a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to control your camera over a network via easy-to-use REST APIs. Plus plug in optional focus and zoom demands to allow full lens control, just like a large studio camera.

Blackmagic RAW Quality

Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary new format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from your camera. Some file formats such as H.264 are highly compressed, adding noise and artifacts, causing sensor detail to be lost forever. Blackmagic RAW eliminates this problem so you get stunning images with incredible detail and rich color throughout the whole post-production pipeline. Blackmagic RAW also saves camera settings as metadata so you can change ISO, white balance, and exposure later in DaVinci Resolve. Plus the files are small and fast, so editing responsiveness is incredible. Only Blackmagic RAW gives you the highest quality, smallest files, and fastest performance.

Blackmagic OS

Blackmagic OS is a true modern operating system where all camera features run independently for smoother control, plus the camera powers on virtually instantly. The menus are overlaid on the HDMI video output. The interface uses the row of buttons on the front of the camera to access menus and adjust settings so it’s always accessible, even when rigged into tight locations. You also get full control over advanced camera features such as on-screen focus and exposure tools, 3D LUTs, HDR, metadata entry, timecode, Blackmagic RAW settings, and more.

Battery Backup Power

The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera G2 has lots of different power options. It includes a common 12 VDC locking power connector so the cable won’t be accidentally pulled out. Plus, the camera includes a power supply with five different AC socket adapters for different countries. The camera also supports a standard LP-E6 compatible battery so you can add a battery for local power backup during critical live broadcasts. These batteries are readily available around the world and will be kept charged by the camera. You can even use an adapter to connect the camera to V-mount batteries for true all-day power.
