## What is BM Controller?

BM Controller is a powerful utility that lets you wirelessly control supported Blackmagic Design cameras using the Camera Control API. Built for reliability and speed, it gives filmmakers and creators a clean, responsive interface to adjust essential camera parameters in real time.

Designed specifically for iPhone, BM Controller communicates with your Blackmagic camera over the network. Once connected, you can remotely access and configure a wide range of camera settings — without physically touching the hardware.

The following models implement the same Camera Control API version (v1.0) and are supported:
	•	Micro Studio Camera 4K G2
	•	Cinema Camera 6K
	•	Studio Camera 4K Plus
	•	Studio Camera 4K Plus G2
	•	Studio Camera 4K Pro
	•	Studio Camera 4K Pro G2
	•	Studio Camera 6K Pro
	•	URSA Broadcast G2

Note: These models are supported by the API specification. BM Controller interfaces with any compatible device using the documented endpoints but does not perform additional validation per model. Certain features, such as zoom or autofocus, depend on the physical capabilities of the camera and lens. If a lens does not support electronic zoom, the zoom control will not produce any effect.
