Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus

The Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus was designed specifically as the perfect camera for the ATEM Mini. The design offers all the features of a broadcast camera, but the expensive broadcast connections have been replaced with a more affordable HDMI version. Video is transmitted to the ATEM Mini via the powerful HDMI output. At the same time, signals for camera control, tally, and remote trigger recording are sent to the camera over it. This makes it extremely quick to set up for any project.
