Blackmagic PYXIS 12K (L-Mount)
The Blackmagic Design PYXIS 12K Leica L-mount is a next‑generation large‑format digital film camera engineered for cinematic capture with unparalleled image quality. At its core sits a massive 24 × 36 mm full‑frame RGBW sensor that delivers a native 12,288 × 8,040 resolution—perfect for capturing ultra‑detailed visuals and achieving shallow depth of field with compatible EF lenses. Built around a robust dual‑native ISO design, the camera maintains pristine image fidelity up to ISO 25,600, ensuring low‑noise performance in any lighting scenario.
With a remarkable 16‑stop dynamic range, the PYXIS 12K Leica L-mount excels in high‑contrast scenes, preserving highlight and shadow detail whether you’re shooting sun‑lit exteriors or dim interiors. Flexible film formats mean you can record in open‑gate 3:2 at 40fps, 2.4:1 anamorphic at 60fps, or high‑frame rate 8K up to 112 fps, all without cropping the sensor. A dedicated HFR button lets you switch quickly between standard and high‑speed modes, keeping your focus on creative storytelling rather than menu diving.
Recording is lightning fast and infinitely flexible thanks to dual CFexpress Type B card slots and a USB‑C expansion port. Capture full‑fidelity masters in Blackmagic RAW while simultaneously generating H.264 proxy files for rapid sharing and offline editing. Metadata tagging, including lens data and frame guides, streamlines post‑production workflows in DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and other NLEs, so you can spend less time conforming media and more time crafting your vision.
Onboard monitoring and control are equally sophisticated: a built‑in 4" HDR‑capable LCD touchscreen rated at 1,500 nits provides clear status overlays, focus peaking, zebras, waveforms, and custom 3D LUT display—even in bright sunlight. Three customizable function buttons and a precision scroll wheel let you adjust iris, shutter, white balance, ISO, and more with tactile confidence. A locking USB‑C port handles viewfinder connectivity, power delivery, and data transfer, minimizing cable clutter on set.
Audio integration is professional‑grade, with a mini XLR input offering +48V phantom power, a 3.5 mm mic input, and a built‑in stereo mic for guide tracks. A 12G‑SDI output and 10 GbE Ethernet port deliver Ultra HD feeds for monitoring, live streaming, or direct upload to Blackmagic Cloud using SRT/RTMP protocols. Bluetooth control and timecode/reference BNC inputs ensure tight synchronization across multi‑camera shoots and remote production environments.
Designed for demanding production schedules, the PYXIS 12K L runs on Sony BP‑U‑series batteries or a locking 12V DC input, operating from 0°C to 40°C at up to 90 % non‑condensing humidity. Its modular, aerospace‑grade aluminum body features multiple ¼″‑20 and 3/8″‑16 threads for rigging to gimbals, cranes, or drone rigs. Included in the kit are lens mount caps, mounting plates, power supply, DaVinci Resolve Studio key, and a one‑year limited warranty—everything you need for unparalleled 12K cinematography.
