USB-C Is Quick, Flexible And Powerful

Compatible With All Professional Post-Production Software

When it comes to recording, the Blackmagic Pocket 4K gives you 3 kinds of media to choose from. Images can be recorded on to typical SD cards, faster UHS‑II cards or CFast 2.0 cards. High definition video can be recorded using regular low-cost SD cards while higher performance UHS‑II and CFast cards can be used for recording 4K DCI in all maintained formats and frame rates. With Blackmagic RAW 12:1, you can even record 4K DCI images to an SD UHS‑II card, giving you spectacular cinematic quality images on very small, low-cost cards. For lengthier recording times, you can also record directly to an external SSD or flash disk using the built in USB‑C Expansion Port! Best of all, there’s nothing proprietary; the files will be compatible with all professional post-production software applications. You can also mount the media cards on your computer and start editing straight from them using the included DaVinci Resolve Studio software!

Utilise The Lenses That You Already Have

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera uses the same MFT (micro four thirds) lens mount as the original Pocket Cinema Camera so you can utilise the lenses you already have! The MFT lens mount was intended precisely for smaller camera bodies with a shorter flange focal distance. This means you can get high quality professional lenses that are much smaller than ever before! The MFT mount is very flexible and lets you utilise different lens adapters. You can get adapters for PL, C, EF and more.

So you can use lenses from manufacturers such as;

  • Canon
  • Nikon
  • Pentax
  • Leica
  • And even Panavision!

Precise Skin Tones & Realistic Colours

Blackmagic RAW uses Blackmagic Design Generation 4 Colour Science for replicating very precise skin tones and beautiful, realistic colours that rival those of cameras costing much, much more!

Images are programmed using a custom non‑linear 12‑bit space intended to provide the maximum amount of colour data and dynamic range. Unlike traditional RAW workflows that rely on LUTs which change the pixel data in a harsh way, Blackmagic RAW is non-destructive. It harnesses the power of metadata to guarantee that the artistic vision of the cinematographer is supported through to post production.

Most significantly, the free SDK lets third party software applications use the embedded sensor profile metadata if required, as well as Blackmagic Design colour science for predictable and precise image rendering that yields reliable colour throughout the whole pipeline.

Advantages Of RAW Formats With The Swiftness Of A Video Codec

Blackmagic RAW is a ground-breaking, next generation codec that gives you;

  • Striking visually lossless images
  • Wide-ranging meta data support
  • Highly optimised GPU and CPU accelerated processing
  • Constant quality and constant bit rate encoding options
  • And more!

That means you get the quality and workflow advantages of RAW formats with the swiftness and ease of use of a video codec.

With Blackmagic RAW, you can choose compression levels up to an amazing 12:1 and still get striking images that can be used for feature films, documentaries or broadcast programming! When it comes to post-production, you get full control over RAW settings such as;

  • ISO
  • White balance
  • Exposure
  • Contrast
  • Saturation in DaVinci Resolve.

Flexibility Of Film With The Ease Of Video

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K features a full size 4/3 sensor that gives you 4096 x 2160 resolution with an incredible 13 stops of dynamic range for accurate digital film quality. Because it’s full size, the 4/3 sensor decreases crop factor, giving you a broader field of view. It also has dual native ISO up to 25,600 so you get amazing low light performance! The Blackmagic Pocket can record at up to 60 frames per second in 4K and up to a huge 120 frames per second for windowed HD.

The camera features fourth generation Blackmagic Design colour science with;

  • Film
  • Video
  • Extended video modes

The new extended mode gives you the flexibility of film with the ease of video, so you get great looking images without having to go to a lot of effort in post-production!
