With the newest update, version 3.4, Android phones running Blackmagic Camera can now be used in more flexible production workflows.
Blackmagic Design continues to expand the options for users of its Blackmagic Camera for Android app, and the newest update brings a series of features, some requested by users, that make smartphones using the app even more viable for different production workflows.
The version now available, 3.4, adds 4K HDMI output with audio, camera control from the companion app for WearOS and remote control via REST API, continuous recording pause, Blackmagic Focus and Zoom demand support, proxy clip management and more.
This means Android phones running Blackmagic Camera can now be used in more flexible production workflows, from camera positions that are hard to reach, to setups where the operator needs to monitor or control recording from another location. With 4K HDMI video output with audio, you can connect to external monitors, switchers or recorders while keeping a high quality image feed from the phone.
WearOS camera control makes it easy to start and stop recording from your wrist when the phone is mounted on a rig, vehicle, gimbal or other position that is difficult to access. Plus, REST API remote control and the new Remote Camera Manager make it easier to set up multi camera workflows where multiple Android phones can be controlled, checked and managed from a central location.
The update also adds continuous recording pause, so you can pause and continue recording without starting a completely new clip each time, making it easier to manage longer shoots such as interviews, events or behind the scenes production.
Blackmagic Camera for Android 3.4 also adds support for Blackmagic Focus and Zoom demands, remote support for Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, a new proxy clip manager and PCM audio option. There are also improvements to LUT handling on some Android phones, plus general performance and stability improvements.
