The Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 is a professional broadcast camera system engineered for live production environments such as television studios, corporate streaming, and houses of worship. It combines a high-performance 4K sensor with an integrated fiber optic connection within a robust, studio-optimized form factor. As a second-generation model, it builds upon its predecessor with an upgraded 4/3 sensor offering wider dynamic range and improved low-light performance, a larger 7-inch fold-out touchscreen viewfinder with higher brightness, and enhanced audio capabilities, including two balanced XLR inputs with phantom power.

A defining feature is its single SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable connection, which carries power, 4K video, camera control data, program return feed, tally signals, and two-way intercom audio. This dramatically simplifies studio cabling, reduces setup time, and enables long-distance runs without signal degradation. The camera is designed to work seamlessly within the Blackmagic ecosystem, particularly with ATEM switchers, allowing for remote camera control, shading, and setup directly from the production switcher or a computer running ATEM Software.

Built with a durable magnesium alloy chassis, the camera includes standard broadcast mounting points and features a built-in motorized ND filter wheel for quick exposure adjustment. The native Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens mount supports a vast range of affordable and high-quality cinema and broadcast lenses. With its combination of 4K image quality, simplified fiber connectivity, and integrated studio features, the Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 provides a powerful, streamlined solution for building professional multi-camera live production systems.
