The URSA Broadcast camera brings flexibility to any shoot, capable of operating as a field camera for ENG and programming work, and as a professional studio camera. URSA Broadcast is an excellent choice for breaking news, web broadcasts, talk shows, sporting events, and live concerts.

Recordings are done onto standard SD cards, UHS-II cards, CFast cards, and 1080i or 2160p video into standard .mov files. These recordings are made in DNx145, DNx220x, or ProRes formats. URSA Broadcast can capture full resolution Ultra HD up to 60 frames per second.

4K image sensor and extended video mode improve dynamic range and color fidelity, for amazing texture and detail, accurate skin tones, vibrant color, and high dynamic range video – all without postproduction.

Quickly reduce light entering the camera with the high quality ND filters. Filters match the image sensor and color science in the camera, so your shots get additional latitude and better colorimetry even in harsh lighting conditions. Optical and IR wavelengths are evenly filtered, avoiding IR contamination.

High visibility LCD status display shows various timecodes, current shooting frame rate, shutter angle, aperture, white balance, gain, iris, battery level, card recording status, and audio meters. Use the 4” foldout touchscreen for monitoring or controlling the camera from a software interface.

Control layout is similar to traditional broadcast cameras for quick, easy operation by feel. Power and all controls are fully redundant, so you can keep working even if anything goes wrong. Durable lightweight magnesium alloy body is comfortable to hold.

Audio matches the professionalism of the shot with built-in professional microphone and audio recorder. There are two microphone inputs to add more microphones as needed.

Features such as remote control, color correction, talkback, tally, and more, make the URSA Broadcast work well as a studio camera for live switched production. Transform the camera from studio camera use to normal shooting mode easily.

Accessorize the URSA Broadcast to get your perfect shot. B4 lens mount is included to work with your existing HD or Ultra HD lenses, or use EF, F, and PL lens mounts (all sold separately) for photographic lenses. URSA viewfinders and SMPTE fiber converters are available to build a complete broadcast camera chain.
