DRN audience would know I like to tease Lee about his height. But when it comes to movie making tools, there are no safer hands than Lee to give them a thorough testing.

Over the Christmas and New Year period, Lee got to play with the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K Cinema Box Camera.

I happily admit that I am totally out of my depth with it, but here’s Lee with his video review of this beast.

 

The Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K has a RRP of A$4905.

DRN would like to thank Blackmagic for loaning us the review unit.

In other news, Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF just got added to Netflix Approved Camera List.

The list highlights the capture requirements necessary to be qualified as an approved camera by the streamer, including dynamic range, resolution, codec, workflow compatibility and more. Netflix requires 90% of a program’s final total runtime to be captured on approved cameras. The list already includes the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 and Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF amongst its approved systems.

Blackmagic URSA Cine is a revolutionary digital film camera that introduces new advanced digital film technology combined with total integration into the post production workflow. That means it’s the first digital film camera with fast high capability storage built in, plus high speed networking for on set media sync. Blackmagic URSA Cine also introduces a new large format RGBW 36 x 24mm image sensor with larger photo-sites for incredible dynamic range. You can also swap between PL, LPL, EF and Hasselblad lens mounts. There’s even WiFi with SRT streaming for remote client viewing. Plus the industry standard Lemo and Fischer connections make it perfect for high end cinema production.

It is now shipping.
