Multi-camera remote control
With the new version 2.0, the Blackmagic Camera app allows content creators to remotely control and monitor multiple iPhone cameras running the app, all connected over a secure network.
Users can view up to nine cameras simultaneously, monitor the stream, and control various features including zoom, focus, white balance, frame rate, shutter angle, and lens selection.

The update also adds support for Apple Silicon-based iPad Pros, which can serve as the central hub for monitoring and controlling the iPhones. The larger iPad can function as a technical director’s panel for setting up and controlling multi-camera shoots, all from a single central point.
High Frame Rate and other features
Furthermore, the update enables high frame rate of up to 100 fps rate recording at 1080p for the iPhone 15 Pro. The Blackmagic Camera app now also allows batch copying or deleting of multiple clips in the media tab, which helps to speed up the post-production workflow and manage storage more effectively.
Additionally, the app supports instant upload of proxy files and original camera files to Blackmagic Cloud Storage.
Lastly, Blackmagic has made housekeeping improvements to enhance the overall performance and stability of the app.
