Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Blackmagic URSA!
Since we released our first digital film camera a few years
ago we have been privileged to have received some of the
best guidance and feedback we have ever had for a new
product! We all grew up admiring the work of the world's
leading cinematographers and DOPs and it's been an
honor to spend hours in conversations with these legendary
experts on the features we need to add to our cameras.
Of course, everyone we speak to has good ideas also!
All those exciting conversations have been put into the new
URSA camera you have just purchased. We think it takes
care of the needs of large film crews as well as having all
the features you need if you're operating in single person
shooting. Its unique design allows you to replace the sensor,
so add new imaging capability to it over time.
What this also means is we could put more value into the
screens, processing and cooling systems the camera has,
because it does not need to be thrown away every time we
develop a new sensor for it! So you get a built in large 10 inch
on set monitor built in, dual CFast recorders that alternate
recording so you can keep recording for as long as you want,
as well as scopes, super strong metal design and much more.
We hope you use your URSA to produce some of the world's
most exciting films and television programming, music
videos and commercials! We are extremely excited to see
what creative work you produce and to get your feedback
on new features you would like to see us add to URSA!
