ptimized for Live Broadcast Production
The Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 offers professional live production features in a compact, lightweight body. Designed for broadcast, streaming, and studio work, it combines cinematic 4K image quality with advanced connectivity including HDMI, SDI, and Ethernet control. This camera is an ideal match for ATEM switchers and live production workflows, delivering studio-grade performance with exceptional flexibility and portability.
Exceptional Low-Light Performance and Dynamic Range
With an image sensor capable of capturing 13 stops of dynamic range and ISO levels up to 25,600, this camera is built for low-light environments. The dual native ISO design features a primary base ISO of 400 for studio lighting and a secondary high base ISO of 3200 for darker settings. Noise and grain are minimized even at high sensitivity settings, allowing operators to shoot in available light with cinematic clarity. Control over gain is accessible from both the camera interface and remotely via SDI or Ethernet.
Cinematic Results for Live Environments
By leveraging the same color science and image processing used in digital film cameras, the 4K Plus G2 brings cinematic visuals into live production. The 13-stop dynamic range enhances color grading potential, and DaVinci Resolve color correction can be managed remotely through compatible switchers. With resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps, this camera offers the flexibility needed for both HD and Ultra HD live production.
Compatible with MFT and EF Lenses
Designed around a Micro Four Thirds lens mount, the Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 supports a wide selection of high-quality yet affordable photographic lenses. Operators can remotely adjust zoom and focus using optional demand controls mounted on the tripod handles. This setup mimics traditional broadcast lens control systems and reduces shake during lens adjustments—ideal for capturing smooth, dynamic shots in live settings.
Large Built-In Viewfinder for Framing
A built-in 7-inch HDR-capable touchscreen monitor helps you frame and monitor shots with precision. The large screen includes overlay support for recording status, peaking, guides, histogram, and 3D LUT monitoring. Menus are accessible via touchscreen for full control over settings and presets, and the included foldable sunshade protects the screen while aiding visibility in bright conditions.
On-Air Tally Light and Broadcast Communication
The camera’s oversized tally light clearly indicates on-air, preview, and ISO recording status using red, green, and orange indicators. Clip-on camera numbers are included for visibility from a distance. SDI and HDMI tally support ensures easy integration with ATEM production systems. Built-in talkback over SDI allows the director to coordinate with camera operators in real-time, using standard 3.5mm or XLR headsets depending on the model.
Flexible Recording and Studio Utility
In addition to live switching, the Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 can record Blackmagic RAW directly to USB-C disks, allowing it to function as a standalone camera for events, interviews, or productions where portability is key. With its side handles, bright display, and balanced design, it's equally suitable for studio floors or on-location shoots.
