Blackmagic Camera iOS Update Adds Apple Watch Control and ATEM Integration
Blackmagic Design has released version 3.3 of its Blackmagic Camera app for iOS, introducing significant new features for solo creators and professional broadcasters. The update includes a companion Apple Watch app that allows users to remotely control recording, zoom, and camera settings such as ISO, white balance, and shutter speed via Wi-Fi. This feature is particularly beneficial for vloggers using tripods. Additionally, the update enables iPhone integration with Blackmagic’s ATEM Mini switchers when used with the Blackmagic Camera ProDock accessory for iPhone 17 Pro models. This setup allows the iPhone to function as a live studio camera with HDMI output, timecode support, and DaVinci color correction capabilities. The app also supports physical Focus and Zoom Demand controls for broadcast-style operation and introduces ProRes RAW stabilization. Available as a free download from the Apple App Store, this update significantly enhances the iPhone’s utility in professional video production environments, bridging the gap between mobile filmmaking and traditional broadcast workflows.
