Download Manual Cinematic Large-Format Sensor
The URSA Cine camera 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 16 stops of dynamic range. 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.
High-End Body Design
The 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. 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 a 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.
Numerous Formats
The large-format sensor in URSA Cine provides the ultimate in flexibility for aspect ratios, lenses, and delivery formats. The full-frame 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 modes for compatibility with classic cinema lenses.
Interchangeable 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 cinema and photographic lenses, making URSA Cine compatible with a wide range of professional lenses. Each mount includes contact pins for lens metadata used in monitoring and post-production.
Monitoring and Camera Control
The URSA Cine lets crews work faster on set with multiple monitoring options. The fold-out monitor has a large 5″ HDR touchscreen on one side and a status LCD on the other. There’s also a dedicated assist station with a second 5″ HDR touchscreen for full control. With a 1500 cd/m² display and removable sunshade, it remains visible even in bright sunlight. Overlays include histogram, frame guides, and focus tools.
Industry-Standard Connections
URSA Cine includes LEMO and Fischer connectors for power and control, plus 12G-SDI outputs, 10G Ethernet, USB-C, and XLR audio. These allow seamless integration into professional workflows and easy powering of accessories.
Blackmagic RAW Capture
Blackmagic RAW preserves sensor data quality while storing metadata, LUTs, and settings for post-production. It offers constant quality and constant bit rate options for flexible workflows and predictable file sizes. The included 8TB media module allows hours of recording even at 12K resolution.
Generation 5 Color Science
This advanced color science improves skin tones, color accuracy, and dynamic range. It enhances high-contrast scenes and maintains compatibility with previous Blackmagic RAW files.
