Standard Description
The Blackmagic Design Camera ProDock is a revolutionary accessory designed to turn iPhones, specifically the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, into professional video cameras for feature film, broadcast and virtual productions. By integrating seamlessly with the Blackmagic Camera app, ProDock lets customers take advantage of the powerful shooting capabilities of iPhones while adding professional connections such as genlock, external timecode, HDMI, microphone, headphones and USB-C for external drives. Featuring a compact and rugged design, ProDock is ideal for filmmakers and videographers who want to build custom rigs for multi-camera productions, live events or shooting in complex environments such as sets with LED walls.

The key feature of ProDock is support for genlock, a key technology for perfectly synchronizing multiple cameras in multi-camera productions, ensuring every frame is aligned without delay or discrepancies. This is especially important for virtual productions, where synchronizing to LED walls eliminates flickering or distortion, ensuring flawless visual results. External timecode support via professional BNC connectors allows each camera to start and stop recording independently, making it easier to post-production in software like DaVinci Resolve, where footage can be automatically synced using the embedded timecode. These features make ProDock an excellent choice for broadcast productions, sporting events, concerts and complex film sets.

ProDock features a variety of advanced connections to satisfy the needs of professionals. The HDMI output allows monitoring on an external monitor or viewfinder, allowing the crew to see footage from anywhere on set. The 3.5mm audio inputs work with professional microphones such as directional, lavalier and shotgun mics, ensuring superior audio quality for high end productions. The 3.5mm headphone jack allows real-time audio monitoring, which is essential for checking the sound quality during a shoot. Additionally, the ProDock includes two high-speed USB 3.2 ports for connecting high-capacity external SSD drives, significantly expanding recording time for high-bitrate files, such as ProRes RAW up to 4K. An additional USB 2.0 port is dedicated to accessories such as lens control systems, making the device extremely versatile.

Intelligent power management is another strong point of the ProDock. Thanks to a lockable DC 12V-15V input, the device can simultaneously power the ProDock, the iPhone, and all connected USB-C accessories, eliminating the need for additional batteries or multiple cables. This ensures continuous operation even during extended shooting sessions. ProDock is designed to be rugged and compact, weighing approximately 9.5 oz and measuring 6.5 x 2.6 x 1 inch, making it easy to integrate into custom rigs. 1/4-20 pin lock mounting points on the top and bottom make it easy to attach to a tripod, boom arm or other support, giving you flexibility in any shooting setup.

When used with the Blackmagic Camera App, ProDock features an intuitive interface similar to Blackmagic Design digital film cameras, with one touch controls for settings such as frame rate, shutter angle, white balance and ISO. The app supports recording in industry standard formats such as ProRes and ProRes RAW up to 4K, with the ability to upload directly to Blackmagic Cloud so you can collaborate live with editors around the world using DaVinci Resolve. Automatic generation of HD proxy files (H.265) allows for fast uploading. ProDock also supports the Final Cut Camera 2.0 app, expanding the options for videographers who prefer the Apple ecosystem. Its ability to sync multiple iPhones using genlock and timecode makes it ideal for advanced multi-camera setups, such as bullet time effects or synced shooting for live events. Additionally, support for Apple Log 2 on iPhone 17 Pro allows you to record in a wider color gamut, providing more flexibility when grading.
