HDMI Output
The HDMI port on your Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K outputs 10-bit 4:2:2 1080p video
with 2 channels of audio for monitoring purposes. You can connect any HD capable HDMI
monitor, such as Blackmagic Video Assist, to frame and focus shots as well as navigating the
Micro Studio Camera 4K's menus.
The frame rate of the HDMI output will match the format of the camera. For example, if the
camera is set to 2160p30, the HDMI output will be 1080p30.
When connected to an ATEM switcher, Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K provides a two
stage tally indicator on a monitor connected via the camera's HDMI output. The monitor
displays a green border when switched to the preview output of the switcher, and red when
switched to the program output.
Expansion Port
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K's small size makes it easy to capture unique shots from
close to the action or difficult to reach spots. While your Micro Studio Camera 4K can be easily
tucked away out of sight, the same can't always be said of a camera operator. So being able to
remotely control your camera is important to making full use of its tiny size.
You can adjust some settings on Micro Studio Camera 4K via SDI input with an ATEM Switcher,
as detailed in the section 'Introducing Camera Control' in this manual. However, the majority of
control options are provided by the expansion port.
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K's DB-HD15 connector provides a wide range of connections,
including power, LANC remote, pan, tilt, zoom and genlock via the expansion cable included.
We encourage you to use a wide range of easily available cables to access specific features, or to
solder your own custom connections and adapt the Micro Studio Camera 4K to your needs. See the
'Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K Expansion Cable' section in this manual for more information.
