The forthcoming Blackmagic Media Module CFexpress is an optional module without internal
memory and instead has CFexpress card slots built in. This lets you shoot using the the same
CFexpress cards you use in your Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K or Blackmagic Pyxis 6K.
Blackmagic Media Modules are designed to be easily loaded and unloaded if you want to
swap to an empty module or load the module into an optional Blackmagic Media Dock for post
production.
Recording duration times based on media capacity, frame rates and codec settings can be
estimated using the data rate calculator at https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/

Transferring Clips to Edit Storage
There are a number of ways you can transfer clips from your camera’s storage to edit storage.
For example, you can plug your camera directly into your computer via USB. You can also plug
URSA Cine into your computer or a network via Ethernet and copy clips from your camera’s
storage over Ethernet. You can even unload the media module and load it into a Blackmagic
Media Dock connected to your network or computer, which lets you work with up to 3 media
modules simultaneously. When connecting to your computer over Ethernet, your computer
will recognize the Blackmagic Media Module just like it would when plugging in a Blackmagic
Cloud Store.
Your camera is set to use DHCP by default, so your computer or network will see the camera
and assign an IP address automatically.
Enabling File Sharing
When you are setting your camera up for the first time and have connected to your computer
or network via Ethernet, SMB file sharing will be disabled by default. This is because unlike a
Blackmagic Cloud Store where you will likely want to share files with other users on the network
straight away, you may not want to immediately allow the same level of access to the master
camera files after an important day’s shoot. For this reason, we decided to let you enable SMB
file sharing yourself.
To enable file sharing, you will need to download and install Blackmagic Camera Setup on your
computer. This setup utility is an administration software application that lets you update your
camera and change admin settings. You can download Blackmagic Camera Setup from our
website at: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/professional-cameras
After downloading and installing the setup utility, connect your camera to the computer via USB
and launch Blackmagic Camera Setup. Connect via the top panel USB port towards to the rear
of your camera.
To open the settings, click on the image of your URSA Cine or its settings icon.
1 Scroll down to the ‘network access’ settings and enable ‘file sharing (SMB)’.
2 Now go to the URL setting underneath and click on the URL icon to automatically populate
the address. The URL address will display your camera’s name as a local network location.
3 Click save.
To go straight to your clips, click on your camera’s URL name. A window will open asking you to
for a password or connect as a guest. Click on the ‘guest’ radio button and click ‘connect’.
