Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K
The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K is an incredibly tiny Ultra HD studio camera that’s perfectly designed for live production. You get a full Ultra HD resolution camera that can be used in HD and Ultra HD video formats and it can be fully controlled from the switcher via the SDI control protocol. Micro Studio Camera 4K includes powerful features such as built in color corrector, talkback, tally indicator, PTZ control output, built in microphones, backup battery, an adaptable MFT lens mount and B4 lens control output. This means Micro Studio Camera 4K is a true studio camera that is dramatically better quality than the biggest and most expensive studio cameras used today.
The small size and completely open design of the Micro Studio Camera 4K makes it perfect for any live multi camera production! It’s virtually invisible and can be hidden just about anywhere on set, giving you the ability to have more camera angles than ever before so you can create a more interesting program. You can even hide them on stage to get incredible shots of live performances or, because they’re so small, safely fly them overhead during sporting events. It can also be used in the studio by rigging it with a professional broadcast lens and a Blackmagic Video Assist for monitoring.

Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for ArduinoThe Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino is an Arduino expansion board or “shield” that makes it possible for anyone to develop their own custom control solutions for Blackmagic Design cameras. UNO boards made by Arduino, Adafruit, Sparkfun, Freetronics and Seeedstudio are popular low cost open source micro controller platforms used by developers and enthusiasts. The Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino attaches to these platforms and then supports inserting camera control commands into the 3G‑SDI link to the camera. This means all Blackmagic Studio Cameras and URSA Mini can now be controlled remotely via Arduino code and you can design and build your own custom CCU or broadcast automation solutions! |
Quick Camera SettingsThe built in row of buttons along the front of the camera gives you quick and easy access to power, menu navigation and settings. Because they’re on the front, the buttons are always accessible, even when rigged into tight locations. Simply plug into any HDMI display such as a TV or the portable Blackmagic Video Assist so you can see the camera’s menus and you can easily change any of the camera’s settings. You can use the menus to set the camera up and then that allows the switcher to take control of the camera via the SDI program input. |
Great Quality SoundThe built in stereo microphones are engineered for high quality audio and feature a mechanical design that helps reduce unwanted wind noise so you get great sounding audio. When you need better audio in windy outdoor conditions such as sporting events, you can plug in an external mic with a wind sock to capture clean sound! The camera instantly switches to the external microphone when one is connected and can work with both line or mic levels. Whether you’re using the built in microphones or attaching one from the outside, the audio is embedded into the SDI video output so you get perfect audio and video sync! |

Two way communication with the entire crew!
The Micro Studio Camera 4K includes an iPhone style headphone socket with mic so you get full talkback support. You can also use standard noise canceling headsets, like those from Bose, Sennheiser and more to hear the technical director without distraction from the audience. Because the camera has an SDI connection to the switcher and an SDI connection from the switcher the talkback audio is embedded into channels 15 and 16 of the SDI signal and you get two way communication. If you’re setting up fixed cameras, talkback makes it easy to walk from camera to camera and plug in your headset to communicate with the rest of the crew to get the best angles and framing.

I can't say enough about the camera both from a quality build and component capability.
As this is a live production camera, it does not have onboard recording, so if you plan on recording ISOs you'll need to connect an external recorder. For us, that simply means routing the signal to a Hyperdeck in our live production rack. For those that need a more remote recording option, the Video Assist is a solid product that will get the job done.
One other note on the camera. Due to its small size, it doesn't have an LCD screen, so in order to interact with the menus, you'll need to connect the camera to an external display via the HDMI port. Once connected, you can then use the small buttons on the front of the camera to manage its settings. While most video settings can be controlled remotely via the ATEM video switch software (white balance, iris, shutter speed, focus, etc.), users will need to set the camera number first via the camera menu. The camera number is required in order to be able to use the CCU to manage the camera settings remotely. Hopefully in a future version of Blackmagic's ATEM software there will be an option to set the camera number remotely as well, which would certainly help make setup more efficient.
With all that said, for $1300, it is a good performer that fits well into a BlackMagic Design live production environment and workflow.
We have not had any issues with the sdi posts on the camera like the previous reviewer.
The sdi posts are very fragile. Our sdi post broke off and blackmagic would not repair it even for a fee. Without the sdi connection the camera is basically useless.
I can't recommend this camera or blackmagic products after this experience.
