6K Super 35mm Sensor:
At the core of the URSA Broadcast G2 is a 6K Super 35mm sensor, which captures crisp and detailed images with beautiful color reproduction and low noise. The sensor is capable of recording 6K video in Blackmagic RAW and supports downsampling to Ultra HD 4K for superior image quality, even when delivering in HD or 4K formats. This makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of projects, from live news coverage to cinematic productions.
Broadcast and Film Modes:
The URSA Broadcast G2 is designed to switch effortlessly between broadcast, cinematic, and live production modes, making it a hybrid camera suitable for multiple use cases. In broadcast mode, the camera is optimized for standard live broadcasting workflows, offering seamless integration with broadcast switchers, instant connection to live feeds, and compatibility with ENG-style lenses via the included B4 mount. In cinematic mode, filmmakers can leverage the 6K sensor to shoot beautiful cinematic footage with shallow depth of field and rich color grading potential.
Flexible Lens Mounts:
The URSA Broadcast G2 supports interchangeable lens mounts, allowing you to swap between B4 broadcast lenses and PL, EF, or F mount lenses. The included B4 lens mount makes the camera compatible with traditional broadcast lenses, while the optional PL and EF mounts enable the use of high-end cinema lenses, offering flexibility for different production styles. This adaptability ensures that you can use the best lenses for your project, whether you’re shooting live sports, news, or narrative films.
Built-In ND Filters:
The camera is equipped with built-in neutral density (ND) filters that allow for rapid exposure adjustments without affecting image quality. These motorized filters provide 2, 4, and 6 stops of light reduction, making it easy to work in various lighting conditions. The filters are designed to match the camera’s color science, ensuring consistent color reproduction, even when using ND filtration.
High-Frame-Rate Recording:
The URSA Broadcast G2 can record at high frame rates, supporting 60fps in Ultra HD 4K and 120fps in HD, enabling you to capture fast-moving action with clarity and smooth motion. This makes it ideal for sports broadcasts, live events, or any production where slow-motion playback is needed.
Professional Recording Formats:
The URSA Broadcast G2 records in professional-grade formats, including Blackmagic RAW and ProRes. Blackmagic RAW provides filmmakers with maximum control in post-production, preserving full dynamic range and color information for extensive grading and VFX work. Meanwhile, ProRes is an ideal format for quick turnaround in broadcast environments, offering high-quality recording with minimal post-processing requirements.
Dual Card Slots for Continuous Recording:
The camera is equipped with dual CFast 2.0 and SD UHS-II card slots, enabling continuous recording. When one card fills up, recording automatically switches to the second card, ensuring that you never miss a shot. Additionally, the camera’s USB-C port allows for recording directly to external SSDs, giving you more options for media storage, especially for extended shoots or high-data-rate formats.
12G-SDI and Live Production:
For live broadcasting, the URSA Broadcast G2 features 12G-SDI outputs for direct connectivity to switchers and monitors. This allows for real-time video feeds and is ideal for multi-camera live productions where immediate transmission to a broadcast center or switcher is essential. The camera also includes a return video input, enabling it to work seamlessly within a live production environment, where operators can receive program feeds or tally information.
Broadcast-Ready Audio:
The camera comes equipped with professional XLR audio inputs that support phantom power for connecting broadcast-quality microphones. This allows for clean, professional audio capture directly into the camera, making it perfect for ENG and live broadcast work where sound quality is just as critical as the image.
Flexible Power Options:
The URSA Broadcast G2 is designed to work in a range of production environments, offering V-mount and Gold mount battery options, as well as an external power connector. This makes it suitable for field production, studio use, and live broadcast applications where different power solutions are required.
Integrated Blackmagic Color Science:
Like all Blackmagic cameras, the URSA Broadcast G2 features Generation 5 Color Science, which provides rich, lifelike colors and natural-looking skin tones. This color science ensures that the footage captured by the camera is ready for professional-grade color correction and grading, making it an ideal choice for cinematic productions and broadcast alike.
The Blackmagic Design URSA Broadcast G2 is the ultimate hybrid solution for broadcast professionals and filmmakers alike, offering the perfect balance between cinematic image quality and broadcast-ready features. With its 6K sensor, flexible lens options, advanced recording formats, and live production capabilities, it’s the perfect camera for ENG work, studio production, and multi-camera live broadcasts.
