Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K
Compact Ultra HD Broadcast Camera at MojoComputers
The Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K available at MojoComputers is an ultra-compact professional 4K camera designed specifically for live broadcast productions and studio applications. It delivers stunning Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 resolution video with cinematic color science, advanced remote control, and multiple connectivity options in a tiny form factor that fits where larger cameras cannot.
Superior Image Quality with 13 Stops of Dynamic Range
At its core, the Micro Studio Camera 4K features a large 13.056 x 7.344 mm active Micro Four Thirds (MFT) sensor capable of capturing 4K at 60fps and high-dynamic-range video with 13 stops. The sensor combines Blackmagic’s Generation 5 color science technology used in digital film cameras, ensuring cinematic, vibrant images even in low light and challenging lighting conditions.
This camera’s images exhibit rich color fidelity, deep blacks, and bright whites, ideal for live broadcasts, multi-camera productions, and film-grade workflows. Its log gamma modes allow professional color grading with DaVinci Resolve or similar software after capture.
Tiny Design with Professional Studio Features
Despite its small size, the Micro Studio Camera 4K is packed with advanced features usually found only on large studio cameras. It includes:
-
An active Micro Four Thirds lens mount, compatible with a wide range of affordable photographic and cinema lenses from brands like Olympus, Panasonic, and Sigma.
-
Remote iris, focus, and zoom control via an expansion port or Blackmagic’s SDI control protocol, enabling adjustments from a switcher or control room.
-
Built-in color corrector controllable from the switcher for real-time image enhancements without external devices.
-
Talkback and tally indicators for clear communication and program status feedback during live broadcasts.
-
Multiple mounting points allowing flexible installation in tight or hard-to-access locations.
Flexible Connectivity for Broadcast Environments
The camera offers broadcast-standard 12G-SDI inputs and outputs supporting uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 video up to 2160p60, with embedded audio. It also includes an HDMI Type A output limited to 1080p60 for monitoring purposes and a 3.5mm analog audio input for microphones or line-level sources.
The expansion port provides serial communication supporting power input, LANC remote control, S.Bus input, PTZ output, and B4 lens control output, integrating seamlessly into professional broadcast and live production environments.
Remote Control and Workflow Integration
The Micro Studio Camera 4K is designed to be remotely controlled entirely via SDI protocol from Blackmagic ATEM switchers or other compatible broadcast control systems. This enables on-the-fly adjustments of lens settings, color correction, camera settings, and tally status, optimizing multi-camera productions with minimal operator intervention.
The camera is ideal for automated or remote studio setups, live events, houses of worship, or sports broadcasting where space and operator presence might be limited.
Recording and Accessories
While the Micro Studio Camera 4K does not have internal recording capabilities, it supports Blackmagic RAW recording when paired with compatible external USB-C storage devices. This combination offers the flexibility of recording high-quality raw footage suitable for cinema production workflows.
Optional focus and zoom demands can be added to the camera for physical control over compatible lenses just like larger broadcast cameras.
