Blackmagic Design products are being utilized for specialized film production workflows and undergoing pricing adjustments.

In the short film ‘Unchained’, director Didier Paradis used Blackmagic Pyxis 12K cameras alongside a Sony ELF-SR2 Spatial Reality Display to test a compact, independent stereoscopic 3D workflow. This setup allowed for real-time 3D monitoring of depth and choreography during filming.

Separately, Blackmagic Design announced significant price reductions for several full-frame 6K cinema cameras, including the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K and various PYXIS 6K models. The company stated these reductions were due to securing better costs for parts.
