The Cinema Camera is a line of digital movie cameras developed and manufactured by Blackmagic Design, introduced on September 4, 2012. They are a series of small form-factor cinema cameras that shoot in 6K, 4K, 2.5K, and 1080p resolution, making them more versatile when compared to standard-resolution digital movie cameras.
All cameras use at least the RAW, Blackmagic RAW (BRAW), CinemaDNG, Apple ProRes and/or Avid DNxHD codecs and formats in 8K, 6K, 4K, 2.5K or 1080p.[1][2][3][4]
All of the cameras require use of Blackmagic's proprietary Camera Utility software and need to be connected to a computer via USB to install the firmware. The software and firmware are obtained through Blackmagic's website.[5][6]
