BMPCC4K Control

Marcus Wolschon

About this app

• Start/Stop a recording remotely on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and URSA Mini Pro via Bluetooth.


• Pull focus via touchscreen on the phone (also zoom with 14-45PZ and 45-175PZ lens).


• Store and recall up to 3 focus (and zoom) points


• Android Wear smartwatch support to start the recording from in front of the camera


• Control important settings and metadata.


• Displays a live timecode, remaining storage and important settings.


• Blackmagic Raw selectable for BMPCC4K

work in progress:

• Public beta version already supports storing and loading sets of settings as named profiles

soon:

• Multicam - start/stop multiple cameras


• Support for Panasonic GH5/GH5s/GH4R/GH4 via Wifi

Known limitations:

• No focus control on URSA Mini Pro (EF) - nothing we can fix in the app


• DCI 4K and 4.6K are not offered by camera - Blackmagic is working on it


• No way to detect via Bluetooth if the camera still supports Cinema DNG and it it supports Blackmagic Raw
