Almost Live From NAB: Blackmagic微型电影摄影机 and Micro Studio Camera

In an Almost Live with 流媒体 interview on the show floor at NAB 2015, 肖恩林 and Blackmagic Design president Dan May discussed Blackmagic’s key new releases at the show and how they will impact streaming video production.

They kicked off the conversation with a look at the Micro Cinema Camera, which won a NAB最佳奖 from 流媒体 for its ability to bring RAW video capture to drone production in an unprecedented small form factor.

May described the camera as follows: “One of the first things we did was to look at our Pocket Camera, 哪一个是很棒的手持相机, and explore how we could make that even smaller and even more applicable to other environments. This Micro Cinema Camera is basically an upgraded version of the Pocket Camera. 还是高清的. 仍然13档动态范围. 还在用微型四分之三.”

Part of the innovative physical design of the camera is its lack of an on-camera LCD monitor. “我们想把所有的运输控制放在前面, so I can literally tuck this into the corner somewhere and hit record,梅解释道. “如果我需要对相机做任何调整, I do want to go ahead and use an HDMI monitor with it… A nice flexible camera doesn't need the monitor, 但如果我们想做任何调整，它可以使用显示器. 否则，只要点击记录，计数灯就会亮起. 你知道它在录音.”

The Micro Cinema Camera also includes an expansion port, which enables the use of hackable protocols. Micro Cinema Camera售价995美元.

还可以突出的微工作室相机的关键功能, another of the 17 new products introduced by Blackmagic at the show. The Micro Studio Camera differs from the Micro Cinema Camera in that, 比如Blackmagic的更大的Studio Camera, 它的设计是为了配合该公司的ATEM切换器. “The big thing [with] our normal Studio Cameras that came out last year is being able to do the talk-back, 的统计, 还有色差,梅说. “因为这不是由运营商驱动的, 最重要的是要有这样的记录, 前面是什么, and all of that color shading as well… I keep walking into studios that are doing streaming… from multi-cam shoots where they don’t have operators. 他们不会进去，拉焦点，平移和缩放. They literally have 6 or 7 cameras that are focused around going back to a switcher and just doing streaming.”

The Micro Studio Camera brings not just compact size to the Studio line but also the ability to add a B4 lens mount. “很多使用我们自动取款机的人都在用更小的, 现在的高清摄像机,梅解释道. “The Studio Camera’s going to be a big upgrade for them; let’s use this very cost-effective and highly adaptable Micro Four Thirds lens. 这个市场非常高兴, 但这个更大的市场说, 但是,嘿, I would totally use that camera if you could use a B4 lens on there as well.”

The Micro Studio Camera lists for $995, with a 4K version available for $1,295.
