While the Blackmagic Studio camera is designed for live production, it is not limited to use with a live switcher! This is because it records Blackmagic RAW to USB disks, so it can be used in any situation where you use a tripod!

The 7" viewfinder makes it ideal for tasks such as chat shows, television production, news broadcasting, sports, education, conference presentations, and even weddings!

The large touch screen display with side handles and physical controls makes it easy to monitor shots, while being comfortable to use for long periods of time. Additionally, because it is so lightweight, it is perfect for cases where you are constantly changing locations and doing different types of work.

In advanced camcorders, ISO is a measurement of the image sensor's sensitivity to light. This means that the higher the ISO, the more intensity can be added to enable shooting in natural light or even at night! The Blackmagic Studio camera has intensity ranging from -12 dB (100 ISO) to +36 dB (25,600 ISO), making it optimized to reduce grain and noise in images while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor.

The primary native ISO is 400, which is ideal for studio lighting. Then, the secondary high base ISO of 3200 is perfect for shooting in low-light environments. The intensity can be adjusted from the camera or remotely using the camera's SDI or Ethernet remote control.

The amazing 4K sensor combined with Blackmagic's 5th generation color science gives you the same imaging technology used in digital film cameras. This means you can now use cinematic images for live production! Additionally, when combined with the built-in color corrector DaVinci Resolve, you get much better images than regular live streaming cameras.
