Blackmagic Design’s new Blackmagic Camera ProDock turns the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max into rig-ready production cameras, adding full-size HDMI monitoring, BNC genlock and timecode, dual-purpose USB-C for SSD recording and accessories, 12V locking power, and 3.5 mm audio I/O, with tight integration for the Blackmagic Camera app. Blackmagic’s pitch is straightforward: remove the connectivity bottlenecks that typically keep phones off professional sets. ProDock extends the iPhone’s I/O to industry-standard ports, so crews can sync multiple cameras, feed proper monitors, attach mics and cans, and record straight to fast external storage while powering the whole rig. In case you missed it, here’s our coverage of Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro launch which adds ProRes RAW recording capabilities to iPhone. Genlock and timecode for multicam and LED walls ProDock brings dedicated BNC connectors for genlock and for external timecode. Genlock keeps frames aligned across devices and live switchers, which is essential for multi-camera and virtual production workflows. It also helps when shooting LED volumes by preventing flicker and tearing from panel refresh behavior. Timecode input lets each iPhone roll independently while still syncing automatically in post, for example when conforming in DaVinci Resolve.
