Revolutionary URSA Design

Big camera features that are fast to use in a lightweight, portable design

URSA Mini Pro is designed to include everything you need in a handheld camera so you can take it anywhere. Unlike cheap plastic cameras, the evenly weighted camera body is made out of a super tough magnesium alloy. It’s a true professional camera with full redundancy on every control, even the power switch. Plus, the familiar broadcast switches and controls allow full setting changes without having to take the camera off your shoulder. There’s an external high visibility backlit LCD status display so you can see critical shooting information, and a 4” foldout touch screen for reviewing shots. You get professional connections such as 12G SDI, XLR audio, a built in high quality microphone and more. 

Built in ND Filters

High quality neutral density filters with IR compensation

URSA Mini Pro G2 features high quality neutral density (ND) filters that let you quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. The 2, 4 and 6 stop filters have been specifically designed to match the colourimetry and colour science of the camera, providing you with additional latitude, even under harsh lighting conditions. This lets you use different combinations of aperture and shutter angle to achieve shallower depth of field, or specific levels of motion blur, in a wider range of situations. The IR filters have been designed to filter both optical wavelengths and IR wavelengths evenly to eliminate IR contamination of the images that many ND filters can suffer from. The ND filters are true optical filters with a precision mechanism that quickly moves them into place when the ND filter dial is turned. The filter settings can even be displayed as either an ND number, stop reduction or fraction on the LCD.

Familiar Broadcast Control

Quickly change settings without taking the camera off your shoulder

Like the world’s best broadcast cameras, URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 features independent controls for direct access to the most important camera settings. Buttons, switches and dials are laid out in a logical order that makes them easy to find by feel while using the viewfinder. This means you’ll be able to adjust settings, add an ND filter or even change frame rate without having to fold out the touchscreen or take the camera off your shoulder.

Backlit Status Display

See critical shooting information in bright daylight

The status display is a high visibility backlit LCD screen that’s designed to be easily seen, even in bright light. The status display shows record timecode, locked timecode and reference timecode, along with the current shooting frame rate, shutter angle, aperture, white balance, ISO and IRIS. It also features a battery indicator, card recording status and audio meters for monitoring levels. The screen’s backlight can be turned on when you’re shooting in dimly lit locations, and off when you’re shooting outdoors and in bright light to increase contrast, making it easy to read under any condition.

Cinematic 4.6K Sensor

Capture incredible digital film images with 15 stops of dynamic range

When it comes to image quality, URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 operates at a higher resolution and dynamic range that is well beyond traditional motion picture film. You get a 4.6K image sensor that captures up to 4608 x 2592 pixels, which is bigger than full size DCI 4K. The sensor features a massive 15 stops of dynamic range and support for up to 3200 ISO, making URSA Mini Pro models perfect for high dynamic range (HDR) projects. Built in active refrigeration ensures maximum dynamic range and low noise, so you get incredibly clean pictures with amazing detail in both the dark shadows and bright highlight areas. In addition, URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 supports high frame shooting at up to 300 frames per second and even better colour fidelity.

Advanced Colourimetry

Super wide colour gamut and precision colour science

URSA Mini Pro models feature an incredibly wide colour gamut that captures more of the visible colour spectrum than Rec. 2020, which is vastly larger than the P3 digital cinema colour space. Blackmagic Design Generation 4 colour science is used to process the raw sensor data, enabling amazingly rich skin tones, natural colour response and enormous amounts of dynamic range. Whether you’re shooting a Hollywood blockbuster, an indie film, high end commercial, or a broadcast television show, URSA Mini Pro’s combination of resolution, dynamic range and colour gamut delivers amazingly rich and lifelike images.

High Frame Rate Recording

Capture the action at up to 300 frames per second

A dedicated off-speed button on the camera’s body lets you quickly switch between your pre-set high frame rate and regular frame rate shooting. When it comes to high frame rate shooting, URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 is ideal for fast action sports, high speed nature photography and more.

Non Stop Recording

URSA Mini Pro models feature both dual CFast 2.0 recorders and dual UHS‑II SD card recorders so you can choose the media that works best for you. CFast cards are ideal for full resolution Blackmagic RAW 12-bit recording, while SD UHS‑II cards are inexpensive and commonly available, making them perfect for recording Blackmagic RAW 5:1, 8:1 or 12:1 files. URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 also features a USB‑C connection so you can connect and record directly to portable SSD drives. Simply choose the media type, insert the cards and start shooting.

Highly Customizable

Flexible enough to be rigged for any production

Blackmagic URSA Mini cameras are completely customizable so you can create a rig that’s built specifically for your production. URSA Mini and URSA Mini Pro have 9 standard ¼” threaded mounting points on the top and bottom of the camera so you can mount it directly to a tripod as well as add accessories such as rails, sliders, matteboxes, microphones, ring lights, batteries and more. Whether you’re building a feature film rig or outfitting the camera for an ENG style shoot, URSA Mini has all of the mount points and connections you need.

Professional Connections

Full size, durable connections that work with standard cables

Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro models feature multiple connections such as 12G‑SDI out, HD-SDI monitoring out, 2 LANC inputs, balanced XLR audio with phantom power, timecode in and reference input. On the front right side of the cameras is a 12 pin Hirose control connector for broadcast lenses. There’s also a 4 pin XLR DC output and an HD-SDI monitoring output that are located in the perfect position for connecting an optional viewfinder or on set monitor. The12G‑SDI output handles all formats up to 2160p60 using a single BNC cable, and also switches to 6G‑SDI or HD‑SDI depending on the shooting format.

Advanced 12G‑SDI

Work with all formats up to 2160p60 over a single cable

12G‑SDI is an incredible 8 times faster than regular HD-SDI which makes it fast enough for Ultra HD video at up to 60 frames per second, all over a single regular SDI cable. The high quality BNC connections are multi rate so it can automatically switch and work with 6G‑SDI, 3G‑SDI, and regular HD‑SDI equipment. That means URSA Mini Pro and URSA Mini cameras are compatible with all of your existing HD and Ultra HD equipment so you can plug it into things like ATEM live production switchers, on set monitors, decks and more.

Professional Audio

Built in production quality sound recording

URSA Mini Pro models have a high-quality microphone and professional audio recorder built right in. Use the built-in stereo microphone to record natural location sound or connect professional microphones using the two XLR wide dynamic range mic inputs.
