Standard Lemo and Fischer connectors let you remote control the camera while also providing power for lens motors and other accessories. You also get 12G?SDI out, 10G Ethernet, USB-C, XLR audio and more.

Expansive Flexibility with Large Format Sensors

URSA Cine has the ultimate in flexibility for aspect ratios, lenses, and delivery formats with its large format sensor. You can shoot a stunning 3:2 open-gate image where you can change your framing in the post, or shoot with the large sensor area anamorphic and deliver in a range of aspect ratios with 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.66, 1.8, and 2x de-squeeze factors. Plus, you can shoot in 4K, 8K, or 12K using the entire sensor without cropping, retaining the full field of view of your lenses. There are even 9K Super 35 4-perf, 3-perf, and 2-perf modes for full compatibility with classic cinema lenses. All this lets you create distinctive content in the highest quality.

Interchangeable Lens Mounts

Different projects require different lenses, which is why URSA Cine features an interchangeable lens mount. Switch between PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad mounts in a second. That’s right: work with PL or LPL cinema lenses, EF, or large format Hasselblad photographic lenses-you get URSA Cine compatible with the widest range of professional lenses in the most versatile camera on the market. Imagine shooting a modern high-speed lens for sharp, crisp images on one shoot and then shooting a period drama with vintage photographic lenses next. Plus, each mount has contact pins to read lens metadata for monitoring and use in post-production. With URSA Cine, you have the freedom to choose the lens you need for any kind of work.

Advanced High-Resolution Monitoring and Precise Camera Control

URSA Cine lets crews work faster on set with multiple monitoring options. The fold-out monitor has a large 5? HDR touchscreen on one end, while the other end has an external color status LCD. You can even flip it on its head and fold it back into the camera. On the right-hand side of the camera, there’s a dedicated assist station with a second 5? HDR touchscreen, so your crew can work around that camera without needing to use external monitors. In addition, a 1500-nit display?an optional removable sunshade ensures its visibility even in bright sunlight. On-screen overlays show status and record parameters, histograms, frame guides, and more. There is an even specific focus puller’s mode to help get the perfect focus.

Durable Industry Standard Connections

The wide range of industry-standard connections on URSA Cine makes it perfect for high-end cinema production. The 7-pin Lemo and 3-pin Fischer connectors fitted to the front handle allow for record start/stop and 24V power and are therefore well-suited to place onboard accessories such as focus motors. Camera power is through a standard 24V 8-pin Lemo, and there is also a rear-mounted 2-pin Lemo 12V connection for lower voltage accessories. All this means you can power accessories straight from the camera without messy external cabling. Two independent 12G-SDI outputs are included for monitoring on 2 different monitors with different overlays, plus 10G Ethernet for Blackmagic Cloud media syncing.

Blackmagic RAW Image Capture

Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from your camera. Blackmagic RAW files contain metadata from the camera, lens data, white balance, and digital slate, as well as custom LUTs so images match on set and throughout the post. Constant quality options preserve the selected quality level, whereupon compression adjusts to the chosen quality level while maintaining a match of the scene detail. Constant bitrate encoding options give you the best possible images due to predetermining predictable file sizes. URSA Cine records directly to the included Blackmagic Media Module 8TB, so you can capture more than 4 hours of Blackmagic RAW in 12K or an enormous 20 hours in 4K.

Generation 5 Color Science

Blackmagic Generation 5 Color Science features an all-new film curve to take maximum advantage of the enormous color data from the new URSA Cine sensor. The color response is even better for more pleasing skin tones and better rendering of highly saturated colors like neon signs and car tail lights in high-contrast scenes. Generation 5 Color Science informs complex Blackmagic RAW image processing, including metadata to preserve color and dynamic range data from the sensor to be used in post-production. Compatible with all previously shot Blackmagic RAW files, Generation 5 Color Science lets you take advantage of the new film curve even with your existing work.

Built-In Optical Low-Pass Filter

High frequencies from synthetic materials like fabrics or the LED matrix in video walls cause problems for ultrasharp modern lenses and high-resolution sensors, creating interference patterns. And it minimizes moire and aliasing interference by using an optical low-pass filter. The URSA Cine comes pre-installed with a high-performance, optical low-pass filter precisely matched to the sensor. It also comprises updated IR filtering that improves far red color response, which, when combined with Blackmagic RAW processing in URSA Cine, preserves color and critical image detail for new levels of image fidelity.

Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF Camera Includes Color-Balanced ND Filters

URSA Cine is outfitted with high-quality ND filters that can help you easily eliminate the amount of light getting into the camera. These have been designed to match the colorimetry and color science of the camera to provide 2, 4, or 6 stops for you to give you much latitude under even the most appalling lighting. The IR filters are designed to equally filter both optical wavelengths and IR wavelengths to remove IR contamination of the images from which many ND filters may suffer. URSA Cine ND filters are true optical filters with a precision mechanism that quickly moves them into position when you turn the ND filter dial. Filter settings can even be presented as an ND number, stop reduction, or fraction on the LCD.
