Blackmagic URSA

[3] In November, a firmware update maxed the frame rate to 80p and added a new 3:1 compression ratio for RAW files.

[4] In April 2015, the URSA Mini was announced and all URSA models and variants received another update that upgraded the maximum frame rate for the windowed 1080p resolution to 150 fps and added support for Apple ProRes 444 XQ and updated the models with a second-generation sensor.

[8] In August, a public beta of the redesigned Camera Utility 4.0 for URSA Mini was released.

The software allows the user to add metadata about a single file, including - but not limited to: shot, take and scene numbers, as well as filenames.

The camera had been in development for some time, but was prioritized due to difficulty sourcing the sensors used in the previous generation.

The second generation URSA Mini Pro features fully redesigned internal electronics and a Super 35mm 4.6K HDR image sensor for much higher frame rate shooting.

The camera also features built-in neutral density filters, an interchangeable lens mount, Blackmagic RAW support, and both dual CFast and SD UHS‑II card recorders.

The Pro version also has a USB‑C expansion port that allows users to record directly to flash drives or SSD disks.

Unlike the older model, the OLPF version was added to the list of Netflix Approved cameras.

It is Blackmagic's first camera to come with the new B-Mount battery plate as standard, though V-mount and Gold mount are available.

It comprises a 1080p OLED screen and can be focused and adjusted to both the left and right eye and only turns on by a proximity sensor dubbed the "Eye-sensor".

It comprises a 7" 1080p LCD screen, a menu button and three function buttons that can display various exposure, focus and framing guides and four knobs that bring up the menu and control the brightness, contrast and peaking sensitivity.

It mounts on top of the Mini camera and is adjustable, has a removable sun hood and metal handles on the side.
