Studio Camera 4K Pro G2: studio camera with 4K Four Thirds sensor, 12G-SDI with program return, 10G Ethernet with PoE, XLR inputs, direct streaming and 2000 nit screen.
Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 – 4K studio camera, 12G-SDI, 10G Ethernet and streaming
Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 is designed for professional SDI switchers and cameras far from the control room: it has a 12G-SDI output and a 12G-SDI program return input with camera control, talkback and tally, plus a 10G Ethernet connection that carries everything on a single cable, like a SMPTE system at a much lower cost.
What the Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 is for
It is the choice for TV studios, events, sports and churches with distant cameras: with 10G Ethernet and PoE one cable carries video, control, talkback and power. It can also stream directly over RTMP to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and other platforms or to an ATEM Television Studio.
Integration with ATEM switchers
It connects to an ATEM switcher: the program return carries tally, camera control, built in color corrector and lens control, and talkback travels on audio channels 15 and 16. It records Blackmagic RAW to USB-C disks, so the same camera also works for shoots to edit later.
Connections
12G-SDI in and out, HDMI output, 10G Ethernet, 2 XLR mic/line inputs with phantom, 3.5 mm stereo input, 5-pin XLR for talkback headset, 2 USB-C ports, front and rear tally, 2000 nit screen. 12V power from barrel, 4-pin XLR or PoE.
How to choose
Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 costs less and is enough with HDMI and SDI without Ethernet; Studio Camera 6K Pro adds a 6K Super 35 sensor, EF mount and ND filters.
