NAB 2025 Predicitions

... but we have to assume it's mere contrast detection as always, compared to the current reference standard that combines with phase detection for better accuracy.

It's PDAF based.

Is the Pyxis 12k screen smaller than the Pyxis 6k?

Thanks for clarifying, I'll edit my original post.

Currently, the touch-to-focus feature hunts back and forth until arriving at accurate focus. The extent to which a variety of lenses (especially through adapters like L to EF mount) will keep doing this, is of peak interest: especially if it is an insurmountable thing, or somehow improved in the new feature set.

We have to assume as always you don’t know what you’re talking about again.

Phase detect.

As I mentioned, you've been in the chorus against this, but I'm really glad they caught up. Looking forward to it.

Pre-ordered Pyxis 12k EF mount. The AF tracking has persuaded me, I'm sure it get tweaked over time

I hope they release AF tracking on all the Pocket cameras because I have said all along these cameras are not very useful with Atem streaming devices without AF tracking.

I think the reason they specified full frame cameras is because the old super 35 sensors are only capable of phase-detection auto focus.

No guarantee it'll have that. Currently only the BMCC6K, expanding to other unnamed full-frame sensors.

I think you mean the opposite: contrast detection is the lowest level, phase detection is next up.

Of course it will. All Pyxis will get AF tracking.

I have a feeling that the AF will only come to the L Mount versions of cameras. That's my thought. But I have no inside info. It's just that Mirrorless seems to handle AF better.

I had the exact same feeling about that. Maybe someone from Blackmagic can tell us whether the AF is dependable on lens mount, that you will buy for the pyxis or not. Might be an important feature to many that are going to preorder the pyxis 12k, so they should know beforehand.
Seems like an incredible camera, though. Good work, Blackmagic.

Are they going to drop the price on the Pyxis 6K now the Pyxis 6K G2 and Pyxis 12K are released?

So no autofocus on the BMPCC OG, G2 and Pro.

What happened to all the beta firmware that were in 8.6 and 8.7 that were in 9.3 as beta? When are those going to b GA, or never?

Just as with accelerometer based stabilization on the Pocket series didn't make it to the UMP. Some things just aren't destined to happen.

The PYXIS Broadcast 6K is full frame but the prototype shown is with a Canon APS-C crop frame lens, missing the Canon accessory for motorized zoom needed to pair with the rocker switch on the side handle.

In some ways then, some of the features presented show prototypes as more of a future roadmap.

Well, I can’t believe the Pyxis 12k LF actually happened

This thread is the most successful thing I have ever done on the internet, and it’s extra special that it came full circle to my original post wishing for this exact camera

Yes, the new autofocus is only available for L-Mount cameras.

Does that include the new pyxis 12k l-mount?

Makes sense to me. L Mount is more accessible for Blackmagic to develop the feature.

I say it’s time to let EF die. Let’s put EF in the grave where it belongs.

L mount had different sensor than Ef mount? Or is a different mount that add the ability to manage new pdfa af?

Well, you merely started it, and titled it "Predicitions," so really, the most successful thing you've ever done?

I trust that the firmware will allow an L-mount to EF adapter, that currently does not block focus control using single/touch-and-hold-to-focus, to work as promised too (even if it's not the ideal configuration, leaving it to us to weigh the benefits).

You really are a dick, huh pal

Of course it’s not THE most successful thing I’ve ever done, I was just having a bit of fun…you should try it some time

You would think so. My question is if you have an L mount camera with an EF adapter does AF tracking work with EF lenses?

As I mentioned, you've been in the chorus against this, but I'm really glad they caught up.

Far from it actually but again, what would you know.

Hi,
Anyone know how or where to find the 9.5 camera update for the 6k? Would love to test this out but can’t see it on the blackmagic support page or a link to the camera utility to update. Thanks

It's not out yet.

Team 2 Films, who were given a version of the software update and have made a video testing it out, have said in the comments it'll be released "today or tomorrow". This was eight hours ago mind you, so basically just keep a lookout over the weekend.

Thanks Chris,
I thought I was going crazy when I thought Grant mentioned it coming out the same day.

L-Mount only.
