NAB 2025 is just around the corner, and guess what? Blackmagic Design seems about to announce a new PYXIS camera, this time with a 12K sensor inside.
The original PYXIS (full-frame, 6K) was announced a year ago. It was Blackmagic Design’s first attempt to create a true box-style camera. As much as people loved the form factor, there were always some concerns about the camera using an older sensor inside it (BM Cinema Camera 6K to be exact. In case you missed it, our Lab Test is here).
Now, it looks as if Blackmagic Design was listening carefully and decided to upgrade the camera to have their great 12K sensor in it (Lab Test). Presumably, this will be the sensor found inside the URSA Cine 12K (price is now reduced to $6,995). If this is indeed the case, it will not come as a surprise, simply because the company is earning in two possible ways. One: putting a new sensor in a desirable camera body, and two: reducing the price per sensor as more of those will be produced and purchased by the company.
Now, you might be asking yourself what are we basing our article on? Well, traditionally, Blackmagic Design has HUGE posters covering outdoor walls at NAB. And apparently, this year is no exception. Unfortunately, we have no name to credit for this picture, but as you can see, the words PYXIS 12K can be clearly seen.
Tune in to CineD tomorrow as we will be steaming Blackmagic Design’s announcement when it happens.
