hi Carl here from ProAV TV and today we're taking a look at the Blackmagic pocket
Cinema Camera 4k which I am hugely excited about and I know a lot of you
out there are - this is probably the most anticipated camera on the market at
the moment this is the very first one to come through the doors here at Pro AV I
can add the box straight away come up here opened it up so that I can share
the experience with all of you guys so today's video is just a very short as a
reminder basically of the camera and what the specs are I know we all saw it
at any being probably most of us have been following along I'm sure I don't
need to remind you of the specs but I wanted to get this video out straight
away to let everyone know that we're playing with it and what to expect I'm
going to spend all of tomorrow filming with it and then I'll have a video up
probably early next week Monday Tuesday that kind of time which is going to go
into a lot more detail with lots of footage so if you want to see anything
at all let me know in the comment section what you'd like me to test out
or answer for you but let's do a little reminder of why this camera is so
exciting this is effectively their successor to the pocket Cinema Camera
which was very very successful but that had a super 16 size sensor and could
only do 1080p this obviously is 4k and it has a micro 4/3 size sensor in it and
it's not just any micro 4/3 sized sensor either it has a dual native ISO of 400
and 3200 which is a really nice combination because 400 is nice and low
for those white those bright outdoor days and 3200 is nice and high for
low-light stuff I mean the better the further apart those two numbers are the
better as far as I'm concerned and it is gonna make this a lot better in low
light than many other cameras which we've seen from Blackmagic so far black
magic of always make fantastic cameras with lovely sensors inside really nice
images beautiful color reproduction dynamic range you lovely user interface
all the rest of it but they've always been let down by the high
so performance so this all indications show us so far that this is going to be
the camera that changes that so I'm going to make sure I test some of that
out for you guys tomorrow that sensor should have 13 stops dynamic range and
the 4k files can be recorded either pro res or cinema dmg to an SD card or SC
fast to card obviously what you can do it which frame rates will depend on what
card and media solution you're choosing but those are the two card slots it has
similar to what we've seen on the person mini pro but what's getting a lot of
attention is this little USB C port on the side which is a really clever
addition this can be used for power so it can be used to charge the battery it
can't power the camera continuously would like a battery bank but you can
use a little battery bank or just plug into the mains through that to charge
the Canon lp6 battery that actually powers the camera which is a nice touch
but what's really exciting is that it can be used for data so you can plug in
a little SSD and record your RAW files straight out onto that SSD which can
even be the same SSD drive that you're going to use for editing and completely
bypassing the C fast guard or the SD card which is fantastic and is gonna let
us record those large data rate files like law for example onto much more
affordable and larger capacity drives than if we were using C fast so that is
a really exciting touch in fact a lot of the pages we've seen come to market like
I'm gonna try it the shape one very shortly and have got a little mounting
system for an SSD drive because I think that is how a lot of people are gonna be
using this for tomorrow though I'm going to be keeping this absolutely stripped
down to its bare bones as native as possible to just what the camera can do
really using it as a pocket Cinema Camera after all that's what the cameras
for I know a lot of people going to be rigging this out I think that's how most
people are going to use this but before I get to that stage I want to see what
this can do by itself without any fancy tricks or add-ons
so if you want to see anything from my video tomorrow please do let me know it
should be released as I say early next week thank you very much for watching if
