Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor Kit

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor Kit is a versatile, high-brightness solution designed to complement Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras. More than just an external display, it serves as a powerful camera extension with a 5" LCD touchscreen interface that allows users to adjust all camera settings—from frame rates to digital slate metadata—directly from the unit. Its high-resolution screen makes it an ideal viewfinder, providing professional shooters with the clarity needed for accurate focusing and framing in any environment.

For maximum flexibility on set, the monitor features multiple mounting points that allow it to be used as a primary viewfinder or a rig-mounted assist station. The kit comes fully equipped with a clip-on sunshade for daylight viewing, along with fixed and swivel mounts and a dovetail shoe for secure, tool-free attachment. It connects to the camera through a single locking USB-C cable that carries video, power, and control data, ensuring a reliable connection during rigorous handheld or rigged production tasks.

Product Features in Detail

High-Brightness 5" Touchscreen Display

The PYXIS Monitor features a high-resolution 5" LCD touchscreen designed for critical monitoring. Its high-brightness output ensures that professional shooters have the clarity needed for accurate focusing and framing, making it an ideal electronic viewfinder replacement or auxiliary monitor in any lighting condition.

Comprehensive In-Monitor Camera Control

Beyond acting as a standard display, this unit serves as a powerful camera extension. Through the intuitive touchscreen interface, users can adjust nearly all camera settings—including frame rates, shutter angle, and white balance—as well as input digital slate metadata directly from the monitor.

Streamlined Single-Cable Connectivity

The monitor simplifies camera rigging by using a single locking USB-C cable. This high-speed connection simultaneously carries video, power, and bidirectional control data. The locking mechanism at the ends of the cable ensures a secure, "set-and-forget" connection during high-intensity handheld or gimbal work.

Versatile Mounting and Rigging Options

Designed for maximum flexibility on set, the monitor is equipped with multiple mounting points. Whether you need it attached directly to the camera body as a large-format viewfinder or mounted onto a complex cage as a rig-mounted assist station, it adapts seamlessly to your specific production needs.

Complete Daylight Viewing Kit

To ensure consistent performance in outdoor or high-glare environments, the kit includes a dedicated clip-on sunshade. This accessory, combined with the monitor's high-nit output, allows operators to monitor their shots effectively without the interference of bright overhead sun or harsh studio lights.

Robust Tool-Free Attachment System

The kit comes fully equipped with professional-grade hardware, including fixed and swivel mounts and a specialized dovetail shoe. These components allow for secure, tool-free attachment and quick adjustments to the viewing angle, facilitating a faster workflow during rapid camera re-positioning.
