The Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K 2 is an updated version of the 4K camera originally released by Blackmagic Design in 2014. Updates to this micro four-thirds mount camera include the removal of the internal battery – necessitating the need of an external plug-in power system or AC plug-in power. The Studio Camera 4K 2 still sports its signature 10″ LCD viewfinder and is much more affordable than its predecessor.
Designed for Live Studio Production. The Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K 2 features a massive 10″ viewfinder, MFT lens mount, talkback, tally indicators, phantom powered microphone connections, 12G-SDI, and built-in DaVinci Resolve primary color correction. The camera body is constructed from a lightweight, magnesium alloy and is powered through a standard 12V DC 4-pin XLR.

10″ LCD Viewfinder. The Blackmagic Studio Camera still features the largest viewfinder in the industry at 10 inches. This LCD screen’s wide viewing angle makes it easy to use, even in daylight (though it does come with a removable sun shade). Users can frame, focus, change iris settings, and even view program video from your live production switcher all on the Studio Camera 2’s viewfinder.
ATEM Compatibility. The Studio Camera supports the tally SDI standard used on the ATEM range of live production switchers; tally lights illuminate automatically with a light on the front for talent, and a light above the viewfinder for the operator, allowing the cast and crew to see which cameras are on air.
