Note: Our Standard Lens Mount configuration is B4, please advise us if you require EF Mount on URSA Rentals – Installation best practice requires us using a specialised torque driver during swap-out installation. We do not supply additional mounts with camera rental.
Our ENG B4 Lenses cover the sensor area of the URSA Broadcast G2 with no Vignette when shooting in HD or 4K recording options. Our EF Lenses support HD, 4K & 6K (All recording format options).
The new Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 is an incredibly powerful camera designed for both traditional and online broadcasters. The 3 cameras in 1 design allows it to work as a 4K production camera, a 4K studio camera or a 6K digital film camera! You can record to common SD cards, UHS-II cards, CFast 2.0 cards or external USB disks, using common file formats such as H.265, ProRes and Blackmagic RAW. You can even change the lens mount! No other broadcast camera is so flexible!
