Blackmagic PYXIS 12K L è una videocamera digitale cinematografica con sensore full frame progettata per offrire la massima qualità d’immagine e una flessibilità operativa tipica delle produzioni cinematografiche moderne.

Il suo sensore RGBW da 12K (12.288 x 8040 pixel) con filtro ottico passa‑basso integrato garantisce un livello di dettaglio eccezionale, una resa colore estremamente naturale e una gamma dinamica di 16 stop, ideale per gestire scene ad alto contrasto e workflow HDR.

Il corpo macchina è completamente modulare e personalizzabile: le piastre laterali e i numerosi punti di montaggio permettono di configurare la camera in base alle esigenze della produzione, dal rig leggero per riprese a mano libera fino a setup complessi per cinema, pubblicità o VFX. L’attacco L‑Mount attivo consente l’utilizzo di ottiche full frame moderne e di un’ampia gamma di adattatori, ampliando notevolmente le possibilità creative.

La PYXIS 12K L registra in Blackmagic RAW in tutte le risoluzioni, con possibilità di generare simultaneamente proxy H.264 per un workflow più rapido. Dispone di doppio slot CFexpress e di una porta USB‑C ad alta velocità per registrare direttamente su SSD esterni. Il display touchscreen da 4" offre un controllo immediato della camera, mentre la connettività 12G‑SDI, l’audio professionale, il Time Code ad alta precisione e la porta Ethernet 10G permettono l’integrazione in produzioni multicamera e workflow cloud con Blackmagic Cloud e DaVinci Resolve.
