Choosing the Codec, Resolution and Sensor Area
Your Blackmagic URSA or URSA Mini records using CinemaDNG RAW codecs with a choice of lossless
4K RAW or 4K RAW compression, as well as various Apple ProRes compressed codecs. Sensor frame
rate options will vary depending on the codec and resolution you choose, plus the sensor turret
you're using on Blackmagic URSA.
It's worth noting that clips recorded using RAW 3:1 compression are compatible with DaVinci Resolve,
but may be incompatible with other software applications which may not open the files or display
them correctly.
We have provided a table for your reference containing available codecs and resolutions, plus their
maximum sensor frame rates.
