Large Format 12K Sensor:

At the heart of the URSA Cine 12K LF is its Super 35mm large format sensor, which captures 12,288 x 6,480 pixels—equivalent to 80 megapixels per frame. This ultra-high resolution allows filmmakers to achieve a level of detail that is ideal for IMAX, digital cinema, and VFX workflows. With more than 12 times the resolution of 4K and nearly 10 times the resolution of UHD, the 12K sensor opens new creative possibilities, allowing for reframing, scaling, and high-end visual effects integration without loss of quality.

Advanced Frame Rate Options:

The URSA Cine 12K LF supports versatile frame rate options for different production needs. It captures 12K at 60fps, 8K at 120fps, and 4K at up to 240fps, offering filmmakers the ability to shoot slow-motion or high-speed footage with remarkable clarity. This makes it perfect for fast-action scenes or detailed VFX shots that require ultra-smooth motion or dramatic slow-downs.

14 Stops of Dynamic Range and Dual Native ISO:

With 14 stops of dynamic range, the camera is able to capture both deep shadows and bright highlights with exceptional detail. This dynamic range is essential for retaining detail in scenes with high contrast, such as brightly lit exteriors or dimly lit interiors. Additionally, the dual native ISO ensures great low-light performance, minimizing noise and delivering clean images even in challenging lighting conditions.

Blackmagic RAW for Efficient Workflow:

The Blackmagic RAW codec allows for highly efficient 12K recording, preserving stunning detail and color fidelity while keeping file sizes manageable. It enables real-time editing and grading of 12K footage even on standard computer systems. Blackmagic RAW also provides users with flexibility in post-production, allowing for adjustments in color, exposure, and sharpness without sacrificing image quality. It supports a range of compression ratios, from lossless 5:1 to high-efficiency 18:1, enabling filmmakers to balance quality and storage needs depending on the project.

Interchangeable Lens Mounts:

The URSA Cine 12K LF comes with interchangeable lens mounts, including PL, EF, and F mounts, making it compatible with a wide variety of professional lenses. This flexibility allows cinematographers to use high-end cinema lenses for feature films or more affordable DSLR lenses for smaller productions, ensuring the camera can adapt to any shooting style or budget.

Built-In ND Filters:

The camera features built-in ND filters, with 2, 4, and 6 stops, allowing for quick adjustments to exposure in bright lighting conditions. These neutral density filters are designed to maintain color accuracy, providing filmmakers with the ability to control exposure without impacting the image quality or depth of field. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor shoots or environments where lighting conditions can change rapidly.

Flexible Media Options:

For media storage, the URSA Cine 12K LF offers dual CFast 2.0 and SD UHS-II card slots, providing multiple options for recording footage. The camera also includes a USB-C expansion port, allowing for external SSD recording, giving users the flexibility to choose the best media for their workflow, whether it's high-capacity SSDs or more affordable SD cards.

Blackmagic Color Science:

The Generation 5 Color Science built into the camera ensures that colors are captured accurately and with natural-looking skin tones, providing filmmakers with stunning, cinematic images straight out of the camera. This color science works seamlessly with DaVinci Resolve, giving editors and colorists maximum flexibility in post-production to adjust and refine colors for any creative vision.
