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
