Is there a Micro Studio like cam that outputs true 4K60?

PostMon Mar 10, 2025 7:40 pm

Hi,

I'm on the market for two MFT bodies that output true 4K60 via HDMI. I already thought I had found the absolutely perfect camera in the Micro Studio 4K, but then saw that the specs said HDMI output is always HD60, so I had to cancel my order ...

Do BM carry a camera around (!) the same cost level that does output 4k60 and accept MFT lens?

Thanks a lot!

Not another micro camera, the only Blackmagic cams that output 4k over HDMI are the Studio cams. The Panasonic box cams will output 4K DCI at 60 over HDMI but the SDI is limited to 3G and the native record options are a little anemic.

Good Luck

Thanks Howard. A few additional questions:
    *The Micro 4K does output live 4K60 (12G), right?
    *If so, could I just use a BMD Ultra 8K Pro Capture Card, set it to "SDI 1 IN AND OUT (https://softron.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ar ... -Pro-cards) and thus get 4 individual SDI12G ins?
    *That way, I think I should be able to connect 2+ BM Micro 4K Cams at 4K60 — right?

Thanks!

12G over SDI is no problem for the Micro 4K, just make sure to use quality cables and connectors or that 12G signal isn't going very far.

Good Luck
