3 Reference and Timecode In
This BNC input automatically recognizes and switches between timecode and reference
input signals. Synchronize Blackmagic URSA Cine to a common reference signal, such as
tri-level sync. It’s worth noting that to use a reference signal through this input, you must set
your reference source to ‘external’ in your URSA Cine’s setup menu.
Alternatively you can use this connector to match an external timecode source to sync up
multiple cameras, or audio and picture when shooting dual system. This ensures audio and
picture, or video from multiple cameras, can be easily synchronized during post production.
When external timecode with a matching frame rate is plugged into this connector the
camera will lock to the incoming timecode automatically. The ‘EXT’ logo will appear next
to the timecode counter on URSA Cine’s LCDs when external timecode is locked. If you
unplug the cable, timecode will remain jammed and the ‘EXT’ logo will switch to ‘INT’ to let
you know it is now running from URSA Cine’s internal timecode clock.
TIP It’s worth mentioning that if external timecode is unplugged and the camera is
turned off for more than a few minutes, the ‘INT’ icon will disappear and timecode will
need to be rejammed. When URSA Cine is constantly powered, the internal clock is
accurate to maintain sync to within a frame for up to 8 hours. If you are jamming all
of your cameras, rather than keeping timecode clocks permanently connected, it’s
recommended to rejam after break times to ensure you maintain constant sync.
4 10G Ethernet Port
You camera’s 10G Ethernet port is a very useful connector that can do lots of things.
Connect your URSA Cine to a network, or directly to your computer using a standard CAT6
network cable. Your camera is set to DHCP by default, which means your network will
assign it an IP address automatically.
Once connected to a network you can access files from your camera’s media module using
SMB, FTP or via a web browser using web media manager. These three options can be
easily enabled in the ‘network access’ section of the Blackmagic Camera Setup’ utility while
your camera is connected to your computer via USB. For more information, refer to the
‘Blackmagic Camera Setup’ section in this manual.
5 24 Volt Power Input
Use the 8 pin DC connector to plug in power from external sources such as the supplied
24v 250W power adapter or very large portable block batteries. While this connector
accepts an input range from 12-34 volts for optimal results power supplies in the 24-34 Volts
range is recommended.
6 Headphone
The 3.5mm jack output is used for headphone monitoring during recording and playback.
You can plug in any set of headphones that uses a 3.5mm TRRS connector, such as iPhone
and Android compatible headsets.
