Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K Cinema Box Camera (Canon EF) – Overview
The Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K Cinema Box Camera brings the cutting-edge technology of the Cinema Camera 6K into a compact, box-style design. Built with a lockable Canon EF lens mount and customizable side plates, it’s made for filmmakers who want flexibility without sacrificing image quality.
Large-Format 6K Sensor for Cinematic Images
At the heart of the PYXIS is a full-frame 36 × 24mm sensor with a massive 6048 × 4032 resolution—three times larger than a traditional Super 35 sensor. This large format lets you capture shallow depth of field and work with anamorphic lenses without cropping. The camera delivers rich colors, accurate skin tones, and a wide 13-stop dynamic range. With dual-native ISO up to 25,600, it produces clean, low-noise images in both studio and low-light environments.
Shoot up to 36 fps in full 6K Open Gate 3:2, 60 fps in 6K anamorphic, or push to 120 fps in windowed modes for high-speed action.
Flexible Recording Formats and Aspect Ratios
The PYXIS adapts to your project’s needs. Capture in 6K, 4K, HD, or even 24.6MP stills. Work in Open Gate 3:2 for easier reframing in post, shoot true 6:5 anamorphic for widescreen productions, or switch to a Super 35 or Super 16 window for alternative looks and higher frame rates.
HDR and Dual-Native ISO Performance
With 13 stops of dynamic range, the PYXIS preserves detail in both shadows and highlights. Indoors or outdoors, it balances exposure beautifully. Its expanded color range gives you maximum flexibility in grading, while the included DaVinci Resolve Studio software unlocks powerful post-production control.
Customizable Box-Style Design
The box-camera body is designed for modular builds. Mounting points and optional side plates allow you to rig microphones, SSDs, monitors, or articulating arms. A standard plate with ¼″-20 and ⅜″-16 threads is included, while optional SSD and Rosette plates expand your setup further.
Built-In 4″ HDR Touchscreen
The integrated 4-inch HDR touchscreen (1500 cd/m² brightness) makes framing and focusing simple—even in bright daylight. On-screen overlays provide histograms, levels, frame guides, 3D LUTs, and status displays. Quick controls for ISO, white balance, and shutter are built in, with a scroll wheel and three customizable buttons to speed up your workflow.
Professional Recording and Workflow Options
Record in Blackmagic RAW for maximum image control or create H.265 proxy files in real time for fast cloud uploads and editing. Dual CFexpress Type-B slots plus a USB-C port give you multiple media options, including external SSD recording.
Live Streaming and Remote Production
Stream directly from the PYXIS using SRT or RTMP protocols to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, or X. For studio workflows, pair with an ATEM Streaming Bridge for wireless return feeds.
Advanced Connectivity
The PYXIS is built for professional sets, offering:
- 12G-SDI output for external monitors
- Mini XLR input with +48V phantom power
- 3.5mm mic input and headphone jack
