Your Blackmagic URSA is now ready to record using your selected codec and resolution which is
always visible on the status strip on the touchscreen. If you are recording using a windowed sensor
area, a 'W' icon will be displayed next to the resolution.
After setting your codec and resolution, you should set your 'project' and 'sensor' frame rates. Refer
to the 'recording settings' section in this manual for more information about frame rates.
A table is provided showing the supported 'project' frame rates for each recording format and codec.
You can create dynamic speed effects by using a sensor frame rate that is slower or faster than your
project frame rate. For standard playback, match the sensor frame rate to your project frame rate.
