Blackmagic Design URSA Broadcast

Description

URSA Broadcast is an advanced Ultra HD broadcast camera that works with your existing HD or Ultra HD B4 lenses so you can shoot HD today and switch to Ultra HD when you’re ready! You get professional broadcast controls, built in ND filters, 12-bit Blackmagic RAW, and 10‑bit or 12‑bit ProRes and DNxHD recording. URSA Broadcast features dual SD UHS-II and CFast card slots for non stop recording. In addition to traditional video shooting mode, extended video mode gives you the dynamic range of digital film in a broadcast friendly format for stunning shots that can go straight to air without needing color correction. URSA Broadcast is two cameras in one. Use it for production work or add a Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder to turn it into a live studio camera with remote control and built in color corrector!
