Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production Camera 4K

LANC Remote Control
The remote port on your camera is used to remotely control record starting and stopping, plus iris
and focus adjustments when using a compatible lens on Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production
Camera 4K EF models.
The port is a 2.5 mm stereo jack using the standard LANC protocol.
Headphones
Monitor audio while recording or playing back clips by plugging your headphones into the 3.5mm
stereo headphones jack.
Audio In
The 1/4 inch TRS Phone audio connectors accept microphone or line level audio. It's important to
select the appropriate setting or your audio may sound too quiet or too loud. The camera automatically
switches to line level if the audio is too loud for a sustained period.
SDI Out
Blackmagic Cinema Camera supports 3G-SDI so it can be used to output uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2
video to routers, monitors, SDI capture devices, broadcast switchers and any other SDI devices.
Blackmagic Production Camera 4K supports 6G-SDI, so it can be used to connect to any SDI monitor
as well as 4K switchers such as ATEM Production Studio 4K.
Thunderbolt
When connected to a Mac OS X or Windows computer with Thunderbolt technology, your Blackmagic
Cinema Camera or Production Camera 4K can be used as a powerful solution for waveform
monitoring and color correction. Blackmagic Cinema Camera's Thunderbolt port always outputs
10-bit uncompressed HD1080p video. Production Camera 4K's Thunderbolt port matches the SDI
output, which can be 10-bit uncompressed HD1080p or Ultra HD 4K.
Power
Use the 12 – 30V power input for connecting your power supply and to charge the internal battery.
USB
Use the USB port to connect your Blackmagic Cinema Camera or Production Camera 4K to your
computer and update the internal software. Open the SSD door to access the USB port.
