Description
The PYXIS 6K uses a 36 x 24mm full-frame sensor – three times the size of a Super 35 sensor. You get 6K resolution, rich tonal depth, and shallow depth of field that’s hard to achieve with smaller formats.
- Native 6K resolution: 6048 x 4032
- 13 stops of dynamic range — retains detail in both highlights and shadows
- Dual-native ISO 400 and 3200, expandable to 25,600
- Generation 5 colour science for natural skin tones and accurate colours
Recording Options
The PYXIS 6K records Blackmagic RAW (12-bit) and H.264 proxy files at the same time. You get full-quality files for the edit and lightweight proxies for review, without any extra steps.
- Dual CFexpress Type-B card slots with hot-swap — no need to stop recording
- USB-C port for recording directly to an external SSD
- Pre-record buffer: captures up to 10 minutes before you press record
