The Blackmagic Design PYXIS 12K is built for cinematographers, directors of photography, and production teams who need a modular, high-resolution digital cinema body that adapts to demanding acquisition workflows. The large format RGBW sensor with built-in optical low pass filter delivers remarkable detail and color fidelity across narrative, commercial, and documentary productions, while the customizable body with multiple mounting points and interchangeable side plates allows integrators to configure the camera precisely to their rig requirements.

Recording natively in Blackmagic RAW across a full range of constant bitrate and constant quality codecs, the PYXIS 12K slots directly into DaVinci Resolve-based post pipelines without transcoding overhead. The 12G-SDI output handles up to 2160p60 for on-set monitoring and switcher integration, while 10Gb Ethernet enables web-based media management, FTP transfers, REST API camera control, and NTP time sync — capabilities that matter on larger multi-camera productions and remote shooting scenarios. The dual CFexpress Type B slots and USB-C external drive port provide redundant or extended recording options suited to long-form shoots.

Compared to fixed-mount cinema cameras in this class, the PYXIS 12K's multi-scale sensor architecture allows native 12K, 8K, and 4K acquisition at full sensor size, preserving field of view and optical characteristics across resolution choices. The 4-inch 1500-nit HDR touchscreen, BP-U battery compatibility, integrated stereo microphone, and optional URSA Cine EVF attachment round out a body designed for both handheld runs and fully rigged studio or field configurations.
