HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The GFX ETERNA 55 features a 55mm image diagonal with a 33x44mm sensor approximately 20% larger than full frame. It is the tallest digital sensor currently available, exceeding 65mm format cameras. The camera supports multiple aspect ratios including 1.43:1, 1.33:1, 2:1, and 2.39:1. Fujifilm leverages over 90 years of film company expertise to deliver color science, capturing a cinema gamut that exceeds Rec.2020 and covers approximately 80% of the ACES color space.
The camera records 8K in a windowed sensor mode, 6K or 4K using the full sensor in open gate configuration at 3840×2880 resolution. Maximum frame rate is 48fps in open gate and 60fps in crop modes. Additional recording options include 4.8K, 5.8K, 5.3K, and 6K depending on the selected image circle. The camera natively uses the G mount with a PL adapter included, and supports LPL adapters for lens flexibility.
Connectivity includes Ethernet with IP-based remote control capability, USB-C, HDMI, timecode input, Genlock synchronization, and built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. A remote application is planned for release later in 2026. The body features 3/8-inch and 1/4-20 threaded mounting points throughout, eliminating the need for a cage. Wooden Camera, Tilta, and Zacro manufacture compatible cage options.
The camera targets TV series, movies, broadcasting, corporate video, independent productions, documentaries, commercials, and virtual production workflows with LED walls via Genlock synchronization. The GFX ETERNA 55 ships as a complete package including body, monitor, top handle, and PL adapter for $16,500 US.
