Amazing sensors combined with Blackmagic generation 5 color science give you the same imaging technology used in digital film cameras. That means you can now use cinematic images for live production! Plus, when combined with the built in DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector you get much better images than simple broadcast cameras. The color corrector can even be controlled from the switcher. With 13 stops of dynamic range, the camera has darker blacks and brighter whites, perfect for color correction. Great for both HD and Ultra HD production, the 4K models feature a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and the 6K model has a resolution of 6144 x 3456. Plus, all models support 23.98 to 60 fps.
With the popular EF or MFT lens mounts, Blackmagic Studio Cameras are compatible with a wide range of affordable photographic lenses. Photographic lenses are incredible quality because they're designed for use in high resolution photography. Plus, the active lens mount lets you adjust the lens remotely! To eliminate the need to reach around to adjust the lens manually, the optional focus and zoom demands let you adjust the lens from the tripod handles just like a large studio camera! This means you avoid camera shake when adjusting the lens so you can track shots and operate the camera without taking your hands off the tripod! It gives you the same feel as an expensive B4 broadcast lens!
The large 7" high resolution screen will totally transform how you work with the camera because it's big enough to make framing shots much easier. The Pro models features an HDR display with extremely high brightness, perfect outdoors in sunlight! On screen overlays show status and record parameters, histogram, focus peaking indicators, levels, frame guides and more. You can even apply 3D LUTs for monitoring shots with the desired color and look. The touchscreen also has menus and you can load and customize presets for different jobs. The included sun shade can be folded to protect the screen for transport plus it's compatible with sun shades from the Blackmagic Studio Viewfinder!
Blackmagic Studio Cameras feature physical buttons and knobs as well as controls on the touchscreen. Knobs on the right side of the camera allow adjusting of the brightness, contrast and focus peaking. The focus peaking knob is incredibly useful as it lets you fine tune the detail highlight so you can get perfect focus as you zoom. The 3 function buttons on the left can have functions assigned to them, such as zebra, false color, focus peaking, LUTs and more! Plus you can change the function assigned to each button in the menus. The touchscreen also includes a heads up display with the most important shooting information, as well as menus for all camera settings, LUTs and custom presets.
Unlike consumer cameras, Blackmagic Studio Cameras have SDI connections that include talkback so the switcher operator can communicate with cameras during live events. That means the director can talk to the camera operators to guide shot selection, eliminating the problem where all cameras could have the same shot at the same time! All models support 3.5mm headsets that are designed for smartphones, while the Pro models support standard 5 pin XLR broadcast headsets. Talkback uses audio channels 15 and 16 in the SDI connection between the camera and the switcher, and in the program return from the switcher to the camera. This means any embedded SDI audio device can work with talkback!
Now you can place cameras remotely, anywhere in the world as the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 and 6K Pro models have built in live streaming! This means you can place a camera in a remote location and it can generate a H.264 HD live stream that is sent over the internet back to the studio. Simply connect the camera to the internet using the built in Ethernet connection, or you can connect a 4G or 5G phone to the USB-C port to stream via remote data! The live stream is received in the studio by an ATEM Streaming Bridge where it's converted back to video for connection to a switcher. The ATEM Streaming Bridge can even send tally, talkback and camera control back to the camera!
The Blackmagic Studio Camera features a high speed USB-C expansion port that allows you to record to external disks, control the camera via a network or connect to a wide range of accessories. Plug in an external USB flash disk and the camera can record high quality 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files for later editing and color correction. That means you can just move the disk to a computer to work, and you don't need to waste time copying files. Or add a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to control your camera over a network via easy to use REST APIs. You can even copy files off the camera via the network! Plus plug in optional focus and zoom demands to allow full lens control, just like a large studio camera.
Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary new format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from your camera. Some file formats such as H.264 are highly compressed, so add noise and artifacts, causing sensor detail to be lost forever. Blackmagic RAW eliminates this problem so you get stunning images with incredible detail and rich color throughout the whole post production pipeline. Blackmagic RAW also saves camera settings as metadata so you can change ISO, white balance and exposure later in DaVinci Resolve. Plus the files are small and fast, so editing responsiveness is incredible. Only Blackmagic RAW gives you the highest quality, smallest files and fastest performance!
Because the most common location to place microphones is near to cameras, the Pro models include the best audio ever designed into a studio camera! The professional 2 channel balanced XLR inputs support +24 dBu line level and have an ultra low noise microphone preamplifier with P48 phantom power alongside an equivalent input noise (E.I.N.) of -131 dBV(A). That's followed by two 117 dB high dynamic range analog to digital converters, so you get the high end audio demanded by broadcasters and audio engineers. This means any microphone plugged into the XLR inputs will have a higher level of noise than the camera's audio!
The optional zoom and focus demands can be added to turn affordable photography lenses into amazing broadcast lenses! The focus and zoom demands have USB-C connections so they work with all Blackmagic Studio Camera models. Each zoom and focus demand has 2 USB-C ports, so you can daisy chain them then connect to the camera with a single USB connection. The design has an incredibly precise feel and so you get very fine lens control, and you can frame and adjust the lens without taking your hands off the tripod handles. The buttons can be customized so you can assign different camera functions to them! Plus, hardware is included for mounting the focus and zoom demand onto tripod handles.
With 10G Ethernet on the Pro models, you can connect all signals to the camera with the one Ethernet IP link connection. That means the camera feed, return program feed, timecode, reference, tally, talkback and control are all sent down the single cable. That's the same benefits of SMPTE fiber, but the standard 10G copper Ethernet cable is much lower cost. The Blackmagic Studio Converter allows breakout of all the video, audio and talkback connections at the studio end. It also includes a massive power supply that powers the camera down the Ethernet cable, so you don't need a power source near the camera. Plus you can fit 2 per rack unit using a Blackmagic Universal Rack Shelf!
hi everyone, completely new to kilns here but experienced with clay. my partner got this kiln for me a couple months ago used from an art teacher, in great shape. I have finally got around to get it out of our external garage where it was stored with a bunch of other things into our attached garage. i probably won't get to use it for a while still as I still need an electrician to get it set up but in the meantime I wanted to get it cleaned up a little bit. somehow moisture got into the kiln and mold grew on the bottom with the manual. luckily I have the shelves and posts in a separate area so those are alright. I disposed of the manual and found a complete scan of one online so that isn't a problem. I just wasn't sure how to clean the inside of the kiln and get the remaining mold out and was hoping to get some insight. I know this shouldn't have ever happened but unfortunately life got to me the past couple months but I'm ready to start my ceramics career. any advice with using this manual kiln would be helpful too as the instructions are quite overwhelming. sorry for the long post!
hi! I was reading a familiar thread with lots of questions on those switches earlier. unfortunately I had to throw away my manual as it was covered in mold. I did find a manual online though, here is the link. _914_Duncan_Kiln_Owners_Manual.pdf
if your manual is still on the premises, maybe wiping each page with a cloth dampened with bleach will remove mold and allow you to read it. a good use for rubber gloves, too. apparently it is a valuable document.
The Studio Buds and Studio Buds Plus come with interchangeable ear tips to keep them in place. Beats supplies small, medium, and large tips with the Studio Buds and adds an extra-small option with the Studio Buds Plus.
The Studio Buds Plus case provides an extra 27 hours of battery life, and the Studio Buds case offers an additional 18 hours of playtime. Both earbuds have fast charging: a five-minute charge in the case yields an hour of playtime. You can recharge either case with the provided USB-C cable, but neither supports wireless charging.
The Beats Studio Buds Plus microphone is markedly improved over the original Studio Buds. The older model is more sensitive, meaning the sample recording below is louder than the Plus model. Accounting for that, even in ideal conditions, the Studio Buds Plus mics make voices sound clearer than the original Studio Buds, with less hiss and self-noise overall. This is likely a consequence of the larger microphones used in the Beats Studio Buds Plus.
