Set dual card mode to 'on' to record CinemaDNG RAW clips
to two CFast cards simultaneously. This feature lets you record
clips using higher frame rates than is achievable on a single
CFast card.
The time lapse feature lets you set Blackmagic URSA to
automatically record a new frame at a chosen time interval.
For example, one frame every second.
Dual Card Mode
Blackmagic URSA lets you record CinemaDNG RAW clips at higher frame rates by recording to both
CFast cards simultaneously. Turn 'dual card mode' on or off by tapping the setting arrow icons. You can
also enable 'dual card mode' to increase the reliability of CFast cards if you find a single card is dropping
frames while recording CinemaDNG RAW clips.
When dual card mode is enabled on Blackmagic URSA, an icon will appear on the touchscreen linking
the two CFast slot indicators together. While recording, both CFast slot indicators will flash to show the
cards are active and their respective media timelines will update accordingly.
On Blackmagic URSA Mini, 'dual rec' will appear on the top left of the status display when dual card
mode is enabled.
When recording in dual card mode, the CinemaDNG RAW clip folders on both Cfast cards share the
same name. To copy the files to your storage location, simply transfer the contents from each CFast card
to the same storage folder. You can choose to keep the audio file from only one CFast card as both are
exactly the same.
Time Lapse Interval
This setting activates the time lapse feature to automatically record a still frame at the following
intervals:
Frames: 2 - 10
Seconds: 1 - 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Minutes: 1 - 10
For example, you can set the camera to record a still frame every 10 frames, 5 seconds, 30 seconds,
5 minutes etc.
The time lapse feature offers many creative options. For example, setting a 2 frame time lapse interval
will give your recorded video a high speed effect when played back.
The format of each still frame is based on your recording format, so if you set the camera to record in
4K ProRes HQ, the time lapse setting will maintain this format. The frame rate will be based on your
project frame rate setting, i.e., 24 fps. This is so your time lapse footage can be easily incorporated
into your post production workflow.
When the 'rec' button is pressed in time lapse mode, the timecode counter updates when a frame
of video is recorded. To set the time lapse interval setting, touch the time lapse interval arrow icons.
Remember to set the time lapse feature to 'off' when you want to record at standard speed.
