About Blackmagic Design PYXIS 12K

Introducing the next generation customizable cinema camera in a versatile design with revolutionary full frame 12K RGBW sensor in EF, PL or L-Mount, Blackmagic RAW and global media sync with Blackmagic Cloud.

Blackmagic Design PYXIS 12K Cinema Camera is an advanced digital film camera in a versatile design

This new model features the same sensor as URSA Cine 12K LF with a massive 16 stops of dynamic range along with dual CFexpress media recorders, 10G Ethernet and Blackmagic Cloud global sync, all in a customizable body.

12K full frame sensor

We’re talking 12288 x 8040 resolution. That’s a 12K full frame sensor — 36 x 24mm, to be exact—that’s nearly three times larger than your typical Super 35.

Color you can feel

Thanks to its RGBW sensor design, the PYXIS captures deep, rich color and razor-sharp detail, while preserving a stunning 16 stops of dynamic range.

Speed to match the power

12K at up to 40 fps, and if you need even more speed, it cranks out a glorious 112 fps at 8K. Whether you’re shooting cinematic slow motion or trying to freeze a hummingbird’s wing mid-flap, PYXIS has your back.
