Blackmagic Design BMD-CINECAMCPYXH60LFPL PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera

Full-Frame 6K Cinema Camera With PL Mount for High-End Production
The Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K PL is a professional full-frame digital film camera built for high-performance production workflows. Featuring a large 36 x 24mm sensor, this PL-mount model captures cinematic 6K video with rich detail and accurate skin tones. It records both 12-bit Blackmagic RAW and lightweight H.264 proxies simultaneously, offering flexibility for post-production and real-time collaboration. Designed with precision CNC-machined aluminum, it’s built to handle demanding environments while remaining compact enough for mobile rigs, drones, or studio setups.

Large Format Sensor With 6K Resolution and Optical Low Pass Filter
At the heart of the PYXIS 6K PL is a full-frame 6048 x 4032 sensor, delivering stunning clarity, smooth gradients, and a true shallow depth of field. The integrated optical low pass filter is tuned specifically for this sensor, minimizing aliasing and moiré without compromising sharpness. The sensor supports open gate 3:2 and anamorphic 6:5 shooting with zero crop, giving cinematographers the freedom to reframe in post or take full advantage of wide-format storytelling.

Dual-Native ISO and Wide Dynamic Range for Low-Light Excellence
With 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600, the PYXIS produces low-noise imagery in both daylight and dim interiors. ISO 400 is ideal for studio or controlled lighting, while ISO 3200 and above provide excellent results for nighttime scenes or natural light environments. The camera’s gain staging is automatically adjusted based on ISO input, ensuring maximum dynamic range and tonal accuracy across all exposure levels.

Flexible Recording Options With CFexpress and USB-C Support
The PYXIS 6K PL features dual CFexpress Type-B card slots for high-speed internal capture. A USB-C expansion port enables direct recording to external SSDs or flash drives, offering redundancy or extended record times. Blackmagic RAW provides maximum sensor data retention for grading and VFX, while simultaneous H.264 proxies can be uploaded to the Blackmagic Cloud, enabling fast collaboration with remote editors or producers.

Supports Multiple Frame Rates and Formats for Versatile Shoots
Shoot cinematic 6K open gate at up to 36 fps, 6:5 anamorphic at 60 fps, or window the sensor for 120 fps at 1080p. Capture 24.6MP stills or switch between Super35 and full-frame readout as your project demands. Whether you’re filming documentaries, commercials, narrative content, or aerial footage, the camera offers the right format and frame rate for nearly any workflow.

Modular Build With Side Plates and Mounting Threads
The PYXIS 6K PL offers a fully modular design with multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting points on the top, bottom, and sides of the body. Side plates expand rigging options—use the included plate with accessory threads, or add optional Rosette and SSD plates for more customization. This setup supports handles, monitors, microphones, wireless transmitters, and more—ideal for gimbals, cranes, or studio builds.

Built-In HDR Touchscreen and Direct Streaming Capabilities
A 4-inch HDR touchscreen with 1500 nit brightness provides sharp monitoring even in sunlight. On-screen tools include histogram, waveform, focus assist, and 3D LUTs. The PYXIS includes 12G-SDI output for external monitors, mini-XLR audio with phantom power, and 4G/5G or Ethernet support for live streaming via SRT or RTMP protocols. Whether you're broadcasting to YouTube, Facebook, or a private network, the camera’s built-in streaming tools simplify setup without additional hardware.
