The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K has officially been added to Netflix’s list of approved cameras. Among its standout features are gyro metadata for stabilization, embedded 3D LUTs, and optimized 12K file playback options in DaVinci Resolve, as the company has claimed in a statement.

With this addition, the PYXIS 12K joins the lineup of Blackmagic Design cameras already approved by the streaming platform:

• URSA Cine 12K LF
• URSA Cine 17K 65
• URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF
• URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2
• URSA Mini 4.6K

Netflix maintains a list of approved cameras to ensure its original productions meet specific image capture and quality standards. The company evaluates factors such as dynamic range, color reproduction, image detail, resolution, and compatibility with professional production and post-production workflows.

According to Netflix’s technical guidance for the camera, the PYXIS 12K supports Blackmagic RAW recording up to 12K Open Gate, with multiple aspect ratios and anamorphic recording support featuring de-squeeze options of up to 2x. The documentation also notes the ability to record H.264 proxy files simultaneously with the original RAW files, as well as integration with DaVinci Resolve and Blackmagic Cloud.

The guide also references Blackmagic RAW compatibility with multiple color spaces, including ARRI LogC3 and LogC4, alongside high frame rate recording options of up to 112 fps in select 8K and 4K modes.
