Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production Camera 4K
LANC Remote Control
The remote port on your camera is used to remotely control record starting and stopping, iris adjustments
and manual focus adjustments when using a compatible lens.
The port is a 2.5 mm stereo jack using the standard LANC protocol.
Headphones
Monitor audio while recording or playing back clips by plugging your headphones into the 3.5mm stereo
headphones jack.
Audio In
The 1/4 inch TRS Phone audio connectors accept microphone or line level audio. It's important to select
the appropriate setting or your audio may sound too quiet or too loud. The camera automatically switches
to line level if the audio is too loud for a sustained period.
SDI Out
Blackmagic Cinema Camera supports 3G-SDI so it can be used to output uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2
video to routers, monitors, SDI capture devices, broadcast switchers and any other SDI devices.
Production Camera 4K supports 6G-SDI, so it can be used to connect to any SDI monitor as well as 4K
switchers such as ATEM Production Studio 4K.
Thunderbolt
When connected to a Mac OS X or Windows computer with Thunderbolt technology, your Cinema
Camera or Production Camera 4K can be used as a powerful solution for waveform monitoring and
color correction. Blackmagic Cinema Camera's Thunderbolt port always outputs 10-bit uncompressed
HD1080p video. Production Camera 4K's Thunderbolt port matches the SDI output, which can be 10-bit
uncompressed HD1080p or Ultra HD 4K.
Power
Use the 12 – 30V power input for connecting your power supply and to charge the internal battery.
USB
Use the USB port to connect your Blackmagic Cinema Camera or Production Camera 4K to your computer
and update the internal software. Open the SSD door to access the USB port.
