Blackmagic Design Spares - Camera Studio Plus - LCD

R 6,563.05
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.


The Blackmagic Design Spares - Camera Studio Plus - LCD is the 7-inch touchscreen assembly for the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus and 6K Plus.

While it shares the same high-resolution panel and 2,000 nit daylight-viewable brightness as the "Pro" version, the assembly for the Plus model is often part of a more integrated internal chassis due to the camera's simplified I/O structure.


Key Specifications

  • Size: 7-inch diagonal.

  • Brightness: 2,000 nits (optimized for outdoor or bright studio use).

  • Resolution: 1920 x 1200.

  • Panel Type: High-contrast HDR touchscreen.

  • Interface: LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) for video and I2C for touch-control data.

When to Replace the Studio Plus LCD

The Studio Camera's screen is its most exposed part. Replacement is usually required due to:

  • Shattered Glass: Physical impact cracks. Since the glass and the LCD are typically a laminated unit, you cannot replace the glass alone.

  • The "Dimming" Effect: If the screen is powered on but appears very dark even at maximum settings, the high-voltage LED backlight system has likely failed.

  • Touch Failure: If you can see the image but the camera doesn't respond to menu taps, or if it starts clicking buttons on its own ("phantom touching").

  • Vertical Banding: Permanent lines appearing on the screen, indicating a failure in the ribbon cable connection or the internal panel gate drivers.


Comparison: Plus vs. Pocket Screens

It is vital not to confuse this with the 5-inch Pocket Cinema Camera screens.

  • Size: The Studio Plus is 40% larger (7" vs 5").

  • Brightness: It is significantly brighter (2,000 nits vs 1,500 nits).

  • Form Factor: The Studio LCD is a fixed-mount internal panel, whereas the Pocket screens are external tilting modules.


Technical Installation Note

Repair Level: 3 (Moderate/Advanced). Accessing the screen on the "Plus" model involves opening the main camera housing.

  1. Bezel Removal: Most Studio models require the removal of the rear or front bezel screws (often hidden behind rubber cosmetic plugs).

  2. LVDS Cable Precautions: The ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the Main PCB is wide and very thin. When disconnecting, use a plastic tool to flip the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) locking bar. Never pull the cable before the lock is released.

  3. Tally Integration: The tally light housing is often physically adjacent to the LCD. Ensure you do not pinch the small LED wires when reassembling the bezel.

  4. Static Warning: Static electricity can "blind" a new LCD. Work in a static-controlled environment and avoid touching the gold contacts on the ribbon cables.

  5. Dust Check: Before final assembly, use a specialized air blower to clear the space between the LCD and the outer glass. The 2,000-nit backlight will make even the smallest speck of dust look like a massive glowing artifact.

Expert Advice: If the screen is black but the Tally light turns on when you connect to an ATEM switcher, the camera is booting, and the issue is likely just the LCD. If there is no tally light and no image, the problem is likely the Main PCB, not the screen.

Are you experiencing a physical crack in the glass, or is the screen simply staying black when you apply power?
