Latin America. Blackmagic Design presented three new products at the IBC Show in Amsterdam, including the Pyxis monitor and the update of the ATEM switchers.
The PYXIS is a versatile, high-brightness, adjustable 5" HDR touchscreen monitor that offers full camera control for the Blackmagic PYXIS. Thanks to its multiple mounting points, it can be easily attached to the camera as a large viewfinder or to any camera mount for better focusing and framing. The Blackmagic PYXIS monitor will be available later this year worldwide at a price of $295.
The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is an adjustable bright display device designed to match the Blackmagic PYXIS camera. It is not a simple external touch monitor, but allows access to all the controls of the camera. In addition, the various threaded holes make it easy to attach to the camera for use as a larger viewfinder, although it is also possible to mount it to other mounts and platforms.
In addition, the company announced the ATEM Switchers 9.6.2 update, which adds enhanced customization and control for users of ATEM Constellation HD models. This update adds support for Visca over IP camera control on all ATEM Constellation models, and customers can now control up to 100 PTZ cameras over their network using the camera's IP address.
Users can now control PTZ cameras and motorized heads from any ATEM Constellation mixer using the VISCA protocol using the serial port or IP address of each unit. In this sense, the ATEM Software Control program includes a new tab that allows you to modify the pan, tilt and zoom of the image on up to 100 cameras simply by adding their respective IP addresses.
Blackmagic also released pricing for the URSA Cine 17K 6 camera, which is available upon request from all Blackmagic Design resellers at a price of $29,995. This digital cinema camera includes a new large-format 65mm RGBW sensor with 17520 x 8040 pixel resolution, with larger photo shots for 16-stop dynamic range, interchangeable PL, LPL and Hasselblad lens mounts and industry-standard Lemo and Fischer connections, all with full integration into the post-production workflow.
