Blackmagic PYXIS 12K Gets Phase Detect Autofocus in First Beta
auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

Blackmagic has released beta firmware (Camera 10.2.96) adding phase-detect autofocus to the PYXIS 12K, settling a question that's been open since NAB 2025: the camera's RGBW sensor does support PDAF. The beta is Mac-only for now; the Windows installer is currently broken. Testing and feedback are being collected through the Blackmagic forum.
