Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF

Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 12K Camera PL Mount

URSA Cine features a revolutionary new sensor designed for incredible quality images at all resolutions from 4K to a massive 12K! The larger sensor builds on the technology of URSA Mini Pro 12K with larger photo-sites leading to an astounding 16 stops of dynamic range.

Revolutionary New Sensor

The unique RGBW architecture provides equal amounts of red, green and blue pixels. This means it is optimized to deliver incredibly rich colors at all resolutions and provide the ultimate in image quality and flexibility. Now you can capture more detail with a wider dynamic range than ever before! Plus, in sensor scaling means you can record at all resolutions without cropping.

URSA Cine is designed to meet the demands of any high end production. The evenly weighted camera body is built with a robust magnesium alloy chassis and lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite skin to help you move quickly on set. Soft touch backlit buttons make controls easy to see in all conditions.

Features

• Large format/full-frame 12K Sensor
• 16 Stops of dynamic range
• Up to 12K 3:2 Open Gate Blackmagic Raw
• Built-In IRND Filters
• 12G-SDI Output, USB-C Expansion Ports

Professional I/O

There’s a 5″ fold out touchscreen for reviewing shots and accessing camera settings, plus a dedicated assist station on the other side of the camera, with 5″ LCD and full camera controls! Standard Lemo and Fischer connectors let you control the camera remotely while providing power for lens motors and other accessories. You also get 12G‑SDI out, 10G Ethernet, USB-C, XLR audio and more.

wide range of industry standard connections on URSA Cine make it perfect for high end cinema production. The 7 pin Lemo and 3 pin Fischer connectors at the front provide record start/stop and 24V power so are ideal for on board accessories such as focus motors.

Camera power is provided by a standard 24V 8 pin Lemo connection, plus there's an additional 2 pin Lemo 12V connection at the rear for lower voltage accessories. All this means you can power accessories straight from the camera without messy external cabling! There are also two independent 12G-SDI outputs for monitoring on 2 different monitors with different overlays, plus 10G Ethernet for Blackmagic Cloud media syncing.

Built-in Optical Low-Pass Filter

The high frequencies of synthetic materials like fabrics or the LED matrix in video walls can cause problems for ultra sharp modern lenses and high resolution sensors, creating interference patterns. Using an optical low pass filter minimizes that interference, which results in a reduction of moire and aliasing. URSA Cine includes a high performance, optical low pass filter that is precisely matched to the sensor.

The OLPF also incorporates updated IR filtering that improves far red color response which, when combined with Blackmagic RAW processing for the URSA Cine, preserves color and critical image detail for new levels of image fidelity 

Flexible Apsect Rations and Anamorphic Capture

The large format sensor in URSA Cine provides the ultimate in flexibility for aspect ratios, lenses and delivery formats! The full sensor area gives you a stunning 3:2 open gate image which lets you reframe your shots in post production. Or you can use the large sensor area to shoot 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.

Switch between PL, LPL, EF and Hasselblad lens mounts

Different projects require different lenses which is why URSA Cine features an interchangeable lens mount. You can quickly switch between PL, LPL, EF and Hasselblad mounts. That means you can work with PL or LPL cinema lenses, EF or large format Hasselblad photographic lenses, making URSA Cine compatible with the widest possible range of professional lenses.

Imagine using modern high speed lenses for sharp, precise 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 for use in post production. With URSA Cine, you have the freedom to choose the lens you need for any kind of work.

Blackmagic RAW capture for maximum flexibility in post-production

Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from your camera. Blackmagic RAW files store camera metadata, lens data, white balance, digital slate information and custom LUTs to ensure consistency of image on set and through post production. Constant quality options lock the quality level, allowing compression to adapt, matching the detail of the scene.

Constant bitrate encoding options are designed to give you the best possible images with predictable and consistent file size. URSA Cine records to the included Blackmagic Media Module 8TB, allowing you to capture over 4 hours of Blackmagic RAW in 12K or a massive 20 hours in 4K.
