Blackmagicdesign Blackmagic URSA Installation And Operation Manual page 2

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Blackmagic URSA!
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!
All those exciting conversations have been put into the new camera you
have just purchased. We think it takes care of the needs of large film crews as
well as having all the features you need if you're operating in single person
shooting. Blackmagic URSA's unique design allows you to replace the sensor,
adding new imaging capability to it over time. What this also means is we
could put more value into the screens, processing and cooling systems your
camera has, because it does not need to be thrown away every time we
develop a new sensor for it!
With URSA, you get a built in large 10 inch on set monitor built in, dual CFast
recorders that alternate recording so you can keep recording for as long as
you want, as well as scopes, super strong metal design and much more.
Our new URSA Mini camera offers similar capabilities. You get a super
strong metal chassis, dual CFast recorders, a 5 inch touchscreen and the
same amazing sensor all in a smaller, lighter package perfect for single
operators. 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.
We hope you use your URSA or URSA Mini 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!
