Blackmagic Design Releases Software Update for Cinema Camera

Blackmagic Design announced a new software update version 1.2 for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera which adds new features, including time lapse recording, aperture indicator when using compatible EF lenses, and ExFAT formatting for SSD disks. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera has now been certified by Intel for capture and playback with Thunderbolt computer hardware operating under Windows. Blackmagic Cinema Camera 1.2 software update is available to download now free of charge from the Blackmagic Design Website.
The exciting new time-lapse recording feature allows customers to capture time-lapse video in CinemaDNG RAW 2.5K, Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD. Customers have a wide selection of capture rates with this new time lapse recording feature as they can select from every second frame all the way up to one frame per 10 minutes.

The addition of the new aperture indicator on the status strip and SDI output overlay for EF compatible lenses allows customers to easily check F stop settings on the LCD display screen.

With the addition of Windows for Thunderbolt, users with certified Thunderbolt hardware will now be able to use a wide range of Windows based software as well as Blackmagic Design’s UltraScope and Media Express software over Thunderbolt with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera.

Support for Windows formatted ExFAT SSD disk adds flexibility for customers to use either HFS+ or ExFAT formats. ExFAT is a Windows based operating file system that features state of the art technology, including large sized disk and file support, wide compatibility and high performance. In addition, Mac OS X also supports ExFAT disks, so ExFAT formatted disks can be plugged into both Windows and Mac OS X machines without any third party software required. Simply insert the formatted disk and the camera will automatically detect format, ready for recording.
