Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor EVF Kit

The Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor EVF Kit is a high-performance, 5-inch HDR touchscreen solution designed to extend the functionality of Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras. Featuring a high-resolution 1920 x 1080 display with an impressive 1500 cd/m² brightness, it ensures critical focus and framing are easily achievable even in direct sunlight. More than just a display, the unit provides full camera control—including access to menus, metadata, and digital slate information—directly via the touchscreen. It connects through a single locking USB-C cable that carries video, power, and data, allowing for a streamlined rig or remote mounting on cranes and gimbals.

Constructed from durable machined metal, the kit is built to withstand professional production environments and includes a comprehensive set of mounting hardware. It features a bright, visible tally light and three customizable buttons for tactile access to essential tools like focus assist, zebra, and false color. The EVF kit is highly modular, providing fixed and swivel mounts, a clip-on sunshade, and a sophisticated rotating bracket with carbon fiber rods to transform the monitor into a large-screen electronic viewfinder. Additionally, it supports advanced cinematic workflows with custom 3D LUT loading and is compatible with the Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 via firmware updates.
