Could a small TV studio (news for instance) be run completely using Blackmagic products? (excluding audio)
It could be live broadcast or prerecorded shows.
How would integrate the BMD equipment?

What are the pros and cons of using the BMD Cinema cameras as studio cameras?

Thanks

im making sound on one standup comedy here in club .. video guys are using BMD cinema cameras + atem tvs , for video switching/recording ..

...but BM cameras are not designed for live TV multicam productions.

1.) They dont have a remote control for matching colors
2.) I dont know "normal" TV lenses for it, controlable from behind the camera with separate controller for focus and zoom - only LANC...
3.) Tally and intercom only, when using BM fiber optical converter ("ATEM Camera and Studio Converters") or products from third party manufactors.

thomas : yes .. u r right .. But everything U talking , is only on expensive cameras .. BMCC is one of the cheapest camera with SDI out .. it usable in low budget production ..

So it depends on what he really wants to do in the studio and what to do with the cameras. With fixed postions and doing the white balance directly at camera body, it may works.
