Because to its versatile design and customizable features, the Blackmagic PYXIS can be easily configured to meet the specific requirements of any camera user. The compact body of PYXIS is crafted from precision CNC machined aerospace aluminum, resulting in a lightweight yet incredibly sturdy design. It's effortless for customers to attach it to various camera rigs like cranes, gimbals, or drones. With a variety of thread mounts on the top and bottom of the body, Blackmagic PYXIS offers great flexibility for attaching accessories like handles, microphones, or SSDs. Additionally, it comes with side plates that further enhance its mounting capabilities. This allows customers to create a camera that is ideal for any production, with durability and dependability.

The Blackmagic PYXIS offers an impressive full-frame sensor, delivering a native resolution of 6048 x 4032. This sensor size is significantly larger than a Super 35 sensor, enabling customers to capture footage with a shallow depth of field and use anamorphic lenses without any cropping, resulting in a truly cinematic aesthetic. Regardless of the lighting conditions, the camera's impressive dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600 ensure that users can capture high-quality images with minimal noise.

By utilizing the entire sensor, customers can capture a distinctive 3:2 image with an expansive field of view. This allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the composition during post-production. The large sensor enables customers to work in true 6:5 anamorphic without cropping, resulting in more detailed and higher resolution widescreen cinematic images than ever before.

The L-Mount model works with the latest full-frame lenses from Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma but can also accommodate lens adapters, allowing customers to use a wide variety of new and vintage lenses.

Blackmagic PYXIS can shoot in all standard resolutions and frame rates from HD up to DCI 4K and even 6K. Customers can even shoot stills at 24.6 megapixels. Blackmagic PYXIS will shoot up to 36 fps at 6048 x 4032 3:2 open gate or 60 fps at 6048 x 2520 2.4:1 and 60 fps at 4096 x 2160 4K DCI. For higher frame rates customers can window the sensor and shoot up to 100 fps at 2112 x 1184 Super 16.

The built-in LCD on Blackmagic PYXIS is more than just a simple status display. It’s a 4″ high-resolution HDR touchscreen that is also perfect for monitoring and reviewing shots on set. Its full HD resolution means customers can frame and focus their shots without needing to carry around a bulky external monitor. Customers can even use the display as a focus assist station.

Blackmagic PYXIS features a logical design that puts important functions such as ISO, WB and shutter at their fingertips with both touchscreen and physical controls. A row of 3 customizable function buttons means customers don’t have to go hunting through menus on a tiny screen to find a command. The controls can even be locked to avoid accidentally changing settings during a shot or when the camera is out of reach on a rig.

The Blackmagic PYXIS features two built in CFexpress card recorders, and a USB-C expansion port for recording direct to external flash media disks or an SSD. CFexpress media are more durable and faster than even older media so are perfect for recording full resolution, 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files. Plus, with dual CFexpress slots, customers can keep recording because customers can hot swap full cards without stopping.
