Blackmagic Design has developed a customisable version of its URSA Cine 12K which lets users rig the camera using their existing accessories.
The URSA Cine 12K LF Body excludes shoulder mounts, handles, some lens mounts, battery plates, power supply, lenses and the high capacity 8TB media module, said the company.
Instead of the 8TB media module, the camera has a CFexpress media module with dual CFexpress card slots, as well as an EF lens mount installed as standard.
Other key features of the URSA Cine 12K LF Body include:
- Cinematic large format sensor with 16 stops of dynamic range.
- Lightweight, robust camera body with industry-standard connections.
- Blackmagic RAW for real time 12K, 9K, 8K and 4K editing.
- Generation 5 Color Science with new film curve.
- High performance OLPF for reduced moire and aliasing.
- Built in ND filters for shooting in varying conditions.
- Shoot up to 80 fps in 12K, 144 fps at 8K and 240 fps at 4K.
- Recording media modules are compatible with the Blackmagic Media Dock.
- High speed wifi, 10G Ethernet or mobile data for network connections.
- Built-in RTMP and SRT live streaming.
- Optional Blackmagic URSA Cine EVF can be purchased separately.
- Accessories and EVF that match the URSA Cine design can be purchased separately.
- Includes full DaVinci Resolve Studio license for post production.
“When we launched URSA Cine 12K many people said they would like to purchase the body of the camera only because they already have accessories for feature film production. In fact URSA Cine was designed to work with all popular film production accessories,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO.
“But what’s also exciting is we think customers who have been using our Blackmagic Design cameras will also have a great upgrade path. We didn’t do this model as an upgrade because people don’t like giving up their old cameras to trade in, so we just offered the body at a good affordable price so they can upgrade and get the quality and performance benefits of the URSA Cine platform!”
