Choose from Three Lens Mounts!

You can choose between L-Mount, EF or PL lenses, making Blackmagic PYXIS compatible with the largest range of cinema & photographic lenses in the world! The L-Mount model works with the latest full frame lenses from Leica, Panasonic & Sigma but can also accommodate lens adapters, allowing you to use a wide variety of new & vintage lenses. The EF model lets you use high quality photographic lenses you already own from DSLRs or even Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras. Or the PL model lets you work with professional cinema lenses from Zeiss, ARRI, Cooke & more without needing an adapter. With Blackmagic PYXIS, you get a choice of lens mounts for unlimited creative choice!

Large-Format Digital Film Sensor

The PYXIS 12K's massive 24 x 36mm full-frame RGBW sensor boasts a native 12,288 x 8040 resolution, letting you create shallow depth of field or use anamorphic lenses without cropping for a truly cinematic look. A 16-stop dynamic range with dual-native ISO up to 25,600 ensures low-noise imagery in all lighting conditions.

Flexible Film Formats

Work in a variety of film formats & aspect ratios without sacrificing quality, thanks to the large sensor. You can also work in true 6:5 anamorphic without needing to crop for widescreen cinematics. Use a Super 35-sized window to create an instant close-up version of your open-gate shot.

Multiple Resolutions & Frame Rates

Shoot in standard video resolutions & frame rates from HD to 12K using the PYXIS 12K with the ability to capture in 12K, 8K, or 4K at the full sensor size. Available resolutions include up to 40 fps at 12,288 x 8040 3:2 open gate, 60 fps at 12,288 x 5112 2.4:1, & 112 fps at 8192 x 3408 8K. There's even an HFR (high framerate) button for quickly switching to your rate without having to access the menu.

HDR Imagery & Dual-Native ISO

The wide 16-stop dynamic range preserves more detail in both the lightest & darkest areas of your image. Set the exposure for an indoor scene while retaining details in the bright outdoor light coming through a window. Optimized for ISO 800, the PYXIS 12K offers ISOs of 200 to 3200 & a maximum ISO 25,600, minimizing grain & noise in your images while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor.

LCD Monitor & Onboard Controls

  • Use the built-in 4" LCD touchscreen to monitor & review your shots on set. This full HD-resolution, HDR-compatible screen lets you frame & focus without requiring an additional external unit. A maximum brightness of 1500 cd/m² ensures visibility even in bright sunlit conditions. On-screen overlays show status & recording parameters, histograms, levels, frame guides, & 3D LUTS, among other tools.
  • Onboard controls allow you to toggle functions like ISO, white balance, & shutter with ease. A scroll wheel makes quick adjustments, & three customizable function buttons can tailor your workflow to your preference. The controls can be locked to avoid accidental pressing during shooting.

Multiple Recording Options

Two built-in CFExpress Type-B card slots & a USB-C expansion port allow you to record directly to external flash media disks or SSDs. The high speed of CFexpress cards lets you capture an hour plus in 6K on a single 256GB card.

Built-In Streaming

Live stream directly from the PYXIS 12K on set to a secondary location via SRT & RTMP protocols. Compatible platforms like YouTube, Facebook, & X can support signals from the PYXIS 12K for live event production. To share content internally, use an ATEM Streaming Bridge for a wireless link back to the studio.
