Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor Kit

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is a versatile 5″ HDR touchscreen monitor with full camera control that can be mounted almost anywhere. The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor Kit includes the monitor, folding sunshade, locking USB cable, and PYXIS Mounts for attaching to Blackmagic PYXIS and Blackmagic URSA Cine cameras. The PYXIS Mounts feature a dovetail design which means the PYXIS Monitor can be quickly attached and removed from the camera. The mount makes it easy to position the monitor wherever customers need it without the need for tools to loosen bolts.

With its large 5” touchscreen LCD, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is perfect for use as a viewfinder for easier focusing and framing. Or use it as a support station so crew can frame and monitor shots from anywhere on set! The bright 1500 nit high brightness screen makes monitoring easy, even in bright sunlight. Additionally, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor features a removable sunshade that can be folded up to protect the monitor when not in use or while traveling.

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor’s machined metal design is super strong for professional use and perfectly matches the industrial design of the Blackmagic PYXIS and Blackmagic URSA Cine cameras. When recording, the monitor has a bright status light that is easy to see from a distance. Additionally, there are 3 customizable buttons for quick access to zebra, focus assist, false color and more. Thanks to the design of the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor, you can find these custom buttons by feel, even when using the monitor from the front.

Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is incredibly easy to set up as it connects to your camera via a single USB-C cable. This means you get video, power and camera control all in one cable! The USB cable has locking screws on both ends to securely attach the monitor to your camera. The HDR touchscreen on the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor allows you to control all of the camera’s functions, making the monitor an extension of the camera itself. You can access all of the Blackmagic PYXIS menus and settings from the monitor. You can even access metadata settings and input digital slate information. Or load custom 3D LUTs for a true high-end cinema workflow.

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is designed with multiple mounting options, so you can easily mount the monitor wherever you need it. It works with all 1/4″ mounts and supports the industry standard 1/4″ mount locating pins. This means that Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is designed to work with Blackmagic PYXIS cameras when equipped with rails, cages, and other accessories. What’s more, because Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor connects via a single USB cable, you can even mount the monitor off-camera on accessories such as cranes or gimbals, meaning they can maintain full control and camera control even when their camera is out of reach.

In addition to standard mounting options, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is available with precision mounts specifically designed for Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras. The PYXIS Monitor mount is a high-quality design that minimizes the size of the monitor to keep it closer to the camera. The 2-piece dovetail design allows the PYXIS Monitor to be quickly attached and removed from the camera. The mount makes it easy to position the monitor where you need it without the need for tools to loosen bolts. Once mounted, you can even rotate the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor 180º and use it as a presentation monitor.

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor also works perfectly with the Blackmagic URSA Cine. When mounted to the URSA Cine, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor transforms into the perfect large screen viewfinder. Just like the Blackmagic PYXIS, URSA Cine supports the same USB-C connection, which carries all video, power, and camera control over a single cable. The mounting hardware is also designed for URSA Cine and can be attached to the Blackmagic URSA Cine Handle. Or use the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor as a large EVF using the same mounting hardware as the URSA Cine EVF.
