Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Blackmagic URSA Mini!
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!
With URSA Mini, we've packaged our incredible wide dynamic range sensors into a super small,
light and sturdy metal chassis.
URSA Mini's beautiful user interface is designed for single operators who need quick, easy access
to all of their camera's functions, while comprehensive ATEM switcher integration makes the
amazing image quality of this Super 35mm digital film camera available to live production studios.
You can even use Blackmagic Fiber Converters, so you can use a single SMPTE fiber cable to
connect an URSA Mini to your live production switcher!
Best of all, URSA Mini is available with the impressive 4K URSA sensor or 4.6K sensor with
even greater dynamic range! We also listened to single operators when we developed our new
URSA Viewfinder which is perfect when you need extra precision and for shooting on the shoulder.
URSA Mini Pro offers the same amazing image quality with additional features including ergonomic
controls, interchangeable lens mounts and internal ND filters. If you are familiar with ENG cameras,
we believe you will find these ergonomic controls and the built in ND filters extremely powerful.
We're also proud to introduce our Blackmagic RAW codec, offering the flexibility of RAW processing
all in a single file, providing massive performance increases with reduced file sizes.
We hope you use your URSA Mini or URSA Mini Pro 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!
