Blackmagicdesign Blackmagic Cinema Camera User manual
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Blackmagic Studio Camera!
We are extremely excited to have designed the Blackmagic Studio Camera.
Ever since I was a teenager I have loved live production, it’s so exciting!
Traditionally cameras with talkback and tally were very expensive and
physically large, so hard to manage. We really wanted to solve this problem
by designing a more compact camera that included all the talkback, tally
and camera control features of physically much larger cameras.
That’s why the Blackmagic Studio Camera was developed. We wanted to
build a much smaller camera for portability, however normally small cameras
have small tiny screens. We did not want that. What we really wanted was a
much larger viewfinder! The result is Blackmagic Studio Camera, the smallest
broadcast camera but with a very large viewfinder that’s wonderful to use!
Precise focus and framing are so easy with a viewfinder this large!
Of course you get tally indicators, talkback, massive built in battery and of
course a fantastic quality camera with flexible MFT lens mount. It’s everything
you need in a complete package! You can plug in larger wind protected
microphones even with phantom power and the optical fiber is built in so you
can run your camera miles away from your switcher! If you need, you can even
add a HyperDeck Shuttle and use the camera for general production use!
We hope you use your new camera for some amazing live productions and
produce some fantastic looking work! We are extremely excited to see what
creative work you produce!

Attaching a Lens
Getting started with your Blackmagic Studio Camera is as simple as attaching a lens and turning the
camera on. To remove the protective dust cap from the lens mount, hold down the locking button and
rotate the cap counterclockwise until it is released. We recommend you always turn off your Blackmagic
Camera prior to attaching or removing a lens.
To attach a lens:
Step 1. Align the dot on your lens with the dot on the camera mount. Many lenses have either a blue,
red or white dot or some other indicator.
Step 2. Twist the lens clockwise until it locks into place.
Step 3. To remove the lens, hold down the locking button, rotate the lens counterclockwise until its
dot or indicator reaches the 12 o’clock position and gently remove.
When no lens is attached to the camera, the lens mount is exposed to dust and other debris so you'll
want to keep the dust cap on whenever possible.
Turning Your Camera On
The Studio Camera has an internal battery that can be charged using the supplied power adapter.
The camera can be charged and operated while connected via external power and will switch between
power sources without any interruption.
Step 1. Press the power button below the LCD. The live camera image will appear on the LCD.
Step 2. Press and hold the power button to switch off the camera.

Blackmagic Studio Camera - Left Side
LANC Remote Control
The remote port on your camera is used to remotely control lens focus, iris and zoom adjustments when
using a compatible lens. The port is a 2.5 mm stereo jack using the standard LANC protocol.
Active MFT lenses allow you to control the zoom servo with a LANC controller. The following lenses are
currently supported:
Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Power O.I.S. Lens
Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom O.I.S. Lens
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ Micro 4/3 Lens
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Micro 4/3 Lens
Headphones Output
For monitoring program and control room audio with aviation style headsets with "fixed wing" connectors.
Aviation headsets range from single ear models for use in studio environments to full size noise cancelling
models which are suitable for loud concerts or sporting events. Audio is taken from channel 15 and 16 of
the incoming SDI and optical fiber video. Channels 15 and 16 are rarely if ever used during production
and so are very suitable to serve for the audio talkback.
Headphones Microphone Input
For talking to the control room with aviation style headsets. Audio is embedded into channel 15 and 16
of the SDI and optical fiber output.
Audio Inputs
Two channels of professional balanced analog audio is supported via XLR connectors. Use the audio menu
to set the input levels for each channel. The inputs support both Mic level inputs and line level inputs
and the input type is also selected from the audio menu. Audio is embedded into Channel 1 and 2 of the
SDI stream.

Blackmagic Studio Camera - Right Side
Optical Input/Output
The optical fiber input and output uses industry standard LC connectors, supporting 3G-SDI on Studio
Camera HD, and 6G-SDI on Studio Camera 4K. Optical fiber cable is widely available because it's the
same cable used in computer networking. Optical fiber allows cable runs of up to 28 miles which is more
than enough for even the most demanding outside broadcast event. If both optical and SDI inputs are
connected, the output from the device which was connected first will be used.
SDI Out
Use the SDI Out connector to output 10-bit 4:2:2 video to professional SDI video equipment such as
routers, monitors, SDI capture devices and broadcast switchers. Blackmagic Studio Camera HD supports
3G-SDI, and Studio Camera 4K supports 12G-SDI.
SDI In
The SDI input allows the camera operator to view the Program (PGM) output. Simply press the PGM
button to toggle between live camera output and Program output from a switcher control room. If
both optical and SDI inputs are connected, the output from the device which was connected first will
be used. If you're using the Studio Camera to record to a device such as the Blackmagic Hyperdeck
Shuttle, the output from the Hyperdeck can be connected to the SDI input so you can playback what
you have just recorded.
Reference Input
This allows multiple cameras to be genlocked to a blackburst or tri-level reference signal. Genlocking
cameras to an external reference signal helps to prevent timing errors which may result in the picture
jumping when switching between different cameras.
Power
Use the 12 – 24V power input for connecting your power supply and to charge the internal battery. When
the battery is fully charged it will power the camera for up to 4 hours on Studio Camera HD, and up to
3 hours on Studio Camera 4K .

Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed complements the ISO setting by regulating the amount of light on the sensor. There are
15 different shutter speeds available ranging from 1/50 sec to 1/2000 sec.
Dynamic Range
Film
The film dynamic range setting on Studio Camera HD uses a log gamma curve to maximize the information
in your video signal. This helps you get the most out of color grading software, such as DaVinci Resolve.
Video
The video setting on Studio Camera HD and Studio Camera 4K uses the REC709 standard for high
definition video which is compatible with modern studio equipment.
Language
English is the default language. Additional languages such as Japanese, French, German, Russian,
Spanish, Chinese and Korean will be supported in the future.

Using ATEM Software Control
19
Introducing Camera Control
Your Blackmagic Studio Camera can be controlled from an ATEM switcher using the Camera Control
feature in ATEM Software Control. Clicking on the Camera button opens the camera control feature.
Settings such as iris, gain and focus are easily adjusted using compatible lenses, plus you can color
balance cameras and create unique looks using the DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector.
The ATEM switcher control works by broadcasting camera control packets via all the non down converted
SDI outputs of an ATEM switcher. So this means you can connect an SDI output of an ATEM switcher to your
camera's video input, your camera will detect the control packets in the SDI link and allow you to control
features in the camera itself. You can control your camera via both regular SDI or optical fiber SDI connections.
Connecting via SDI
Step 1. Connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera's SDI Out to any SDI In on the ATEM switcher.
Step 2. Connect any one of the ATEM switcher's SDI outputs, except down converted or multi view
outputs, to your Studio Camera's SDI In. Camera control signals are not sent via the multi view
and down converted SDI outputs.
Step 3. On your Blackmagic Studio Camera, press Menu. Navigate to Studio Settings>Camera
Number and set it to match the switcher input. For example, if studio camera 1 is connected to
Cam 1 on the ATEM switcher, the camera number must also be set to 1. This ensures tally is
sent to the correct camera.
Connecting via Optical Fiber
Step 1. Connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera's Optical Out/In to the Optical Out/In on an ATEM
Studio Converter.
Step 2. Connect a suitable SDI out from ATEM Studio Converter to any SDI In on the ATEM switcher.
Step 3. Connect any one of the ATEM switcher's SDI outputs, except down converted or multi view
outputs to ATEM Studio Converter's SDI In. Camera control signals are not sent via the multi view
and down converted SDI outputs.
Step 4. On your Blackmagic Studio Camera, press Menu. Navigate to Studio Settings>Camera Number
and set it to match the switcher input. For example, if studio camera 1 is connected to Cam 1
on the ATEM switcher, your camera number must also be set to 1. This ensures tally is sent to
the correct camera.
Open ATEM Software Control Preferences and set the switcher's button mapping to make sure you are
switching the right camera with correct tally. Now you have a video connection from the switcher to your
Blackmagic Studio Camera, you can also get the advantage of live tally indicators on your camera, as well as
being able to view the program feed of the switcher by pressing your camera’s PGM button.

Using Camera Control
Launch ATEM Software Control and click on the Camera button located at the bottom of the software
window. You’ll see a row of labeled camera controllers containing tools to adjust and refine each
camera’s image. The controllers are easy to use. Simply click the buttons using your mouse, or click
and drag to adjust.
Camera Control Selection
The button row at the top of the camera control page lets you select the camera number you would like
to control. If you have more cameras that fit onto the window size, or you are running the color corrector
window, then you can use these buttons to select between which camera you would like to control. If you
are using an Aux output for monitoring your camera control, pushing these buttons to change the camera
to control will also send that camera's video output to the Aux output setup in the switcher preferences.
Channel Status
The channel status at the top of each camera controller displays the camera label, On Air indicator and
lock button. Press the lock button to lock all the controls for a specific camera. When on air, the channel
status illuminates red and displays the On Air alert.
Color Wheel
The color wheel is a powerful feature of the DaVinci Resolve color corrector and used to make color
adjustments to each YRGB channel’s lift, gamma and gain settings. You can select which setting to adjust
by clicking on the three selection buttons above the color wheel.
Master Wheel
Use the master wheel below the color wheel to make contrast adjustments to all YRGB channels at once,
or luminance only for each lift, gamma or gain setting.
Reset Buttons
The reset button near the top right of each camera controller lets you easily choose color correction
settings to reset, copy or paste. Each color wheel also has its own reset button. Press to restore a setting
to its default state, or copy/paste a setting. Locked controllers are not affected by the Paste feature.
The master reset button on the top right corner of the color corrector panel lets you reset lift, gamma and
gain color wheels plus Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Lum Mix settings. You can paste color correction
settings to camera controllers individually, or all cameras at once for a unified look. Iris, focus, coarse and
pedestal settings are not affected by the Paste feature. When applying Paste to all, a warning message
will appear asking you to confirm your action. This is so you don’t accidentally paste new settings to any
unlocked cameras that are currently on air.
Click on the settings icon to select
the Aux output for camera control.
Each camera controller displays the channel status so you
know which camera is on air. Use the color wheels to adjust
each YRGB channel's lift, gamma and gain settings.
When applying Paste to all, a warning message will appear
asking you to confirm your action. This is so you don’t
accidentally paste new settings to any unlocked cameras
that are currently on air.
