Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder
51
The IR sensor is located at the bottom of the URSA Viewfinder.
Your computer will prompt you to update the latest internal
software version if an older version is detected.
Setup
The 'setup' menu provides the following features:
‚ Brightness Adjustment - allows adjustments for the brightness of the display with range -5
to +5.
‚ Tally Brightness - allows adjustments of tally LED brightness.
‚ Focus Chart - Your Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder has a built in focus chart so you can focus
the eye piece to suit your eyes. Simply turn the focus diopter on the eyepiece until the chart is
in perfect focus. Pressing any button on your viewfinder will close the focus chart display.
IR Sensor
The IR Sensor on your viewfinder automatically detects when you are near the eyepiece and turns
on the OLED display. If you are away from the viewfinder for over a few seconds, the display turns
off to conserve power and to extend the life of the OLED display. While the viewfinder will detect
when you look into the viewfinder eyepiece, pressing any button on the viewfinder will also turn the
display back on.
Deliberately blocking or covering the IR sensor could cause the viewfinder's display to
remain powered for prolonged periods of time. This could decrease the lifespan of the
display and cause image retention if high contrast images or frame guides are displayed
on the viewfinder.
Updating URSA Viewfinder's Internal Software
Update your viewfinder using the Blackmagic Camera Setup utility software. The viewfinder will
need to be powered when updating, so we recommend keeping the viewfinder connected to your
URSA during the update process. This also means your URSA will need to supply consistent power,
so be sure to plug into external power.
Connect your computer to the small USB connection located at the front of your viewfinder, near
the eyepiece. When Blackmagic Camera Utility is launched and your viewfinder is connected to your
computer, you will be prompted to update if your computer detects that your viewfinder is using an
older version. Follow the on screen prompts to update your viewfinder's internal software. Refer to
the 'Blackmagic Camera Setup Utility' section in this manual for more information.
We recommend updating all your Blackmagic URSA equipment at the same time for optimized
performance.
