Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor
The Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor is a broadcast‑grade, high‑brightness touchscreen display designed as the perfect viewfinder and control extension for Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras. Built around a 5" capacitive LCD, it offers full 1920 × 1080 resolution and an HDR‑capable brightness of 1500 nits, ensuring crystal‑clear visibility even in direct sunlight. A clip‑on sunshade and bright tally light make on‑set monitoring effortless, while the rugged metal construction stands up to the demands of professional production environments.
Beyond simple monitoring, the PYXIS Monitor functions as a powerful camera control interface. Its capacitive touchscreen gives you on‑screen access to critical settings—frame rate, shutter, iris, timecode, ISO, white balance, tint, record start/stop, media, audio, focus zoom, digital slate and full camera menus—directly from the monitor. Three customizable function buttons (F1–F3) provide one‑touch toggles and preset recalls for features like zebra stripes, focus assist, false color and display LUTs, streamlining complex setup tasks.
Connectivity centers on a single locking USB‑C connector that carries video, power, camera control and firmware updates in one cable, minimizing rig clutter and ensuring a rock‑solid link. A built‑in accelerometer automatically rotates the image when the monitor is mounted upside down, maintaining an intuitive interface regardless of mounting orientation. A high‑quality headphone jack and built‑in speaker deliver on‑site audio monitoring for complete production control.
Physical integration is seamless thanks to multiple mounting points: a bottom ARRI locating pin pattern 1/4"‑20 mount plus two M4 mounts, and matching side‑mount ARRI pin and M4 points. Included mounting brackets in the EVF kit—swivel mount, fixed mount, dovetail shoe and URSA Cine EVF bracket—let you attach the monitor directly to camera cages, rails, gimbals or tripods. Whether on‑camera or off‑rig, the PYXIS Monitor adapts to any workflow.
Designed for modern pipelines, the monitor supports Mac (Ventura, Sonoma) and Windows (10, 11) via the free Blackmagic software, and runs entirely over USB‑C power. It thrives in environments from 0°– 40°C with up to 90% non‑condensing humidity, making it ideal for studio, field and OB‑van scenarios. Each package includes the PYXIS Monitor, clip‑on sunshade, full mounting kit, USB‑C cables, a welcome wallet with software download QR code and a one‑year limited manufacturer’s warranty—everything you need for professional HDR monitoring and control.
