Blackmagic Design Kicks Off NAB 2025 With PYXIS 12K Announcement
Well, that’s certainly one way to kick off NAB Show 2025 with a bang. Officially not set to start until Sunday, April 6th, in Las Vegas, Blackmagic Design is starting the show early with the announcement of a new PYXIS 12K cinema camera.As the 12K upgrade to the PYXIS 6K model which was announced at the start of NAB last year, this new PYXIS 12K will feature a full frame 36 x 24mm RGBW sensor up to 12288 x 8040 resolution, 16 stops dynamic range, and the choice of EF, PL or L Mount. Blackmagic has also revealed that the PYXIS 12K will also be able to record Blackmagic RAW with proxies directly to dual CFexpress media recorders. And the kicker here is that it’s set to retail for less than $5,000.Introducing the Blackmagic PYXIS 12K — (@) Introduced as “the next generation customizable cinema camera” for all types of filmmakers and video professionals, the PYXIS 6K model has already proven to be a popular option thanks to its high-end digital film capabilities, precise skin tones, and rich organic colors. This 12K model should kick things up a notch with a full-frame 36 x 24mm 12K sensor with a wide dynamic range and a built-in optical low pass filter that's been designed to perfectly match the sensor. Both the 6K and 12K PYXIS models will be able to record 12-bit Blackmagic RAW and extremely small H.264 proxy files at the same time.Large Format Cinematic Digital Film SensorThe new Blackmagic PYXIS models will feature a native resolution of 12288 x 8040, which will be almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor and lets users shoot with a shallow depth of field or use anamorphic lenses uncropped to capture that true cinematic look. So, whether you’re shooting in bright light or in almost no light at all, the massive dynamic range with high-performance sensor should help provide stunning low-noise images in all lighting conditions. The PYXIS 12K model will be able to shoot up to 112fps (as opposed to 120fps for the 6K version), as well as provide the same Blackmagic color science to give your images that expensive digital cinema camera look.Multiple Resolutions and Frame RatesBlackmagic reports that both PYXIS models will be able to shoot in all standard resolutions and frame rates from HD up to DCI 4K, 6K, 8K, and now even 12K. The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K, in particular, will feature a multi-scale sensor that will let you shoot in 12K, 8K, or 4K at the full sensor size. Plus, shooters will be able to record at up to 40 fps at 12288 x 8040 3:2 open gate or 60 fps at 12288 x 5112 2.4:1 and 112 fps at 8192 x 3408 8K. It also sounds like users will even be able to shoot in true anamorphic 6:5 at much higher resolutions than other cameras using anamorphic lenses in 9.6K at 9648 x 8040.Price and AvailabilityWe’ll have much more to share about the Blackmagic PYXIS 12K in the coming days and weeks, as it is a good sign that NAB 2025 will be a fun event this year with lots of exciting announcements and unveilings. The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K is set to retail for $4,995—we’ll update with official specs and purchase links here soon.
