Blackmagic Design - Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2

Designed for powerful SDI switchers, Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 adds professional 12G-SDI and 10G Ethernet connections. That's perfect when the camera is located a long distance from a switcher. There's a 12G‑SDI output and a 12G‑SDI program return input that includes camera control, talkback and tally. You also get the same powerful HDMI output with control features. Plus the 10G Ethernet connection allows all connections on a single cable for a SMPTE style workflow that's much lower cost.
