ABOUT THIS PRODUCT


URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2, is a professional digital film camera that combines incredible 4.6K image quality with the features and controls of a traditional broadcast camera. The second generation URSA Mini Pro features fully redesigned electronics and a new Super 35mm 4.6K HDR image sensor that combine to give you much higher frame rate shooting. You also get built in ND filters, an interchangeable lens mount, Blackmagic RAW support, and both dual CFast and SD UHS-II card recorders for capturing images at up to 300 frames per second. There’s even a USB-C expansion port that lets you record directly to flash drives or SSD disks for even longer recording times. URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 features a massive number of controls intuitively positioned on the side of the camera so you can adjust most settings by feel, without ever having to take your eyes off the action. URSA Mini Pro is lightweight and comfortable enough to use all day, has controls that are extremely fast to use, and image quality that’s far superior to broadcast cameras costing ten times more.

DIGITAL FILM QUALITY FOR EVERY PROJECT - THE PERFECT CAMERA FOR DIGITAL FILM, BROADCAST, LIVE PRODUCTION AND MORE:

URSA Mini Pro cameras are “three cameras in one” because they combine high end digital film quality with the features and controls broadcasters need. They’re ideal for any kind of work from high end feature films, television shows and commercials, toindependent films, broadcast news, and even studio and live production. URSA Mini Pro cameras go beyond standard Ultra HD broadcast quality because they give you 4.6K resolution with 15 stops of dynamic range. Plus, the super wide colour gamut and Blackmagic Design Generation 4 colour science give you incredibly accurate skin tones andstunning, lifelike colour so you always capture cinematic quality images. The super compact body features broadcast camera controls and advanced operating software that make it faster to set up and use than any other camera. Whether you’re on set, onlocation or shooting run and gun, URSA Mini Pro has theimage quality and features you need to work on any typeof project.

THREE INCREDIBLE MODELS; CHOOSE URSA MINI 4K, URSA MINI 4.6K OR URSA MINI PRO 4.6K G2:

The URSA Mini family are powerful and robust cameras that are available in three different models, so you can choose the camera that best suits your needs. The affordable URSA Mini 4K features a fixed EF mount along with dual CFast card recorders. URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 adds built in ND filters, an interchangeable lens mount, dual CFast and UHS-II SD card recorders, and a massive set of broadcast features and external controls. URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 is the ultimate high end digital film camera with second generation electronics, a high frame rate image sensor, and a USB-C for recording directly to external drives.

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, eventhe 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. That means you don’t have tocarry an extra on‑set monitor. You get professional connections such as 12G‑SDI, XLR audio, a built in high quality microphone and more. The optional electronic viewfinder and shoulder mount kit lets you go from tripod to handheld shooting in seconds, or you can turn URSA Mini Pro into the ultimate live production camera by adding an URSA Studio Viewfinder.

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 wave lengths and IR wave lengths evenly to eliminate IR contamination of the images that most 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.

INTERCHANGEABLE LENS MOUNTS - COMPATIBLE WITH EF, PL, B4 AND F MOUNT LENSES:

Different projects require different lenses, whichiswhy URSA Mini Pro models feature an interchangeable lensmount. Imagine shooting regular work using a photography lens but then being able to change to aPLmount cinema lens ifyou get a high end film job. URSA Mini Pro makesthat easy because you can quickly switch betweenEF, PL, B4 and F mount lenses, making it compatible with the widest possible range of professional lenses. That means you can work with high quality EF or F mount photographic lenses, large PL cinema lenses, and even B4 broadcast lenses, all with the same camera. URSA Mini Pro comes standard with an EF mount. Additional optional PL, B4 and F lens mounts can be purchased separately. With URSA Mini Pro, yougeta single camera that works with virtually all professional lenses so you can choose precisely the lens you need.

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. Italso 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. You can also choose the lower cost URSA Mini 4K model with 12 stops of dynamic range when you don’t need the performance and are on a tighter budget.

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:

URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 is a more powerful second generation camera with entirely new electronics and a new high performance image sensor that lets you shoot crystal clear slow motion footage. You can record full sensor 4.6K images up to 120 frames per second, windowed DCI 4K at up to 150 frames per second, and regular windowed 1080 HD at an amazing 300 frames per second. A dedicated off-speed button on the camera’s body lets you quickly switch between your preset 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 - WORKS WITH BOTH CFAST AND SD CARD MEDIA:

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. With dual slots for each media type, you never haveto stop recording because when the first card is full, itautomatically continues onto the next card. You can even swap the full card for an empty one, all without having to stop recording.

BLACKMAGIC URSA MINI SSD RECORDER - RECORD ONTO 2.5 INCH SSD MEDIA:

The optional Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder lets you record 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files onto standard 2.5 inch SSD Media with your URSA Mini orURSA Mini Pro cameras. That means you can use commonly available and inexpensive high capacity solid state media. Unlike other types of cards, SSD media is super fast so you can record fullresolution 4K and 4.6K 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files. Plus,SSD media comes in much larger sizes so you can record longer without having to change cards. The unique design of the Blackmagic URSA Mini SSD Recorder allows itto attach directly to the back of your URSA Mini or URSA Mini Pro between the camera and the battery. It uses 6G-SDI as a data link to the camera so you don’t have to worry about starting or stopping the SSD recorder. Everything is setup and controlled directly from the camera.

EXPANSION PORT - HIGH SPEED USB-C CONNECTION FOR DIRECT EXTERNAL RECORDING:

URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 features an innovative high speed USB‑C Expansion Port. USB‑C is quickly becoming standard on all modern computers and devices. The massive bandwidth of USB‑C makes it possible to connect external accessories such as flash drives and SSDs for significantly longer recording times. This can be important when shooting high quality lossless 12‑bit Blackmagic RAW or high frame rate 300 fps images. Best of all, when you’re done shooting you can use the same drive for editing and post production.

BUILT IN MONITORING - FOLD OUT TOUCH SCREEN FOR MONITORING AND CAMERA CONTROL:

The built in 4 inch fold out touchscreen on URSA Mini Pro models and the 5 inch fold out touchscreen on URSA Mini 4K and 4.6K are super bright, high resolution colour displays with a wide viewing angle that makes them perfect for monitoring and reviewing shots on set. The screen can also show you a “heads up display” overlay with critical information such as format, frame rate, timecode, ISO and more. You even get a histogram, card recording status indicators and audiometers. The fold out touchscreen lets you use the incredible new URSA Mini operating software so you get super fast access to every camera function, ATEM broadcast switcher integration features for live broadcast, digital slate for metadata management and more.
