To access storage on a Windows computer:
1 Click on the ‘network’ menu item in File Explorer sidebar. You will see your Blackmagic
Media Dock listed.
2 Double click on your media dock and a Windows security dialog box will appear asking for
network credentials.
3 Set the username and password to ‘guest’.
NOTE If your computer fails to connect, your media dock may belong to a Windows
workgroup. Use ‘workgroup\guest’ as your username and ‘guest’ as your password to
log into your storage.
4 Click ‘OK’.
You will now see your media modules in the File Explorer window and can access them like any
other network drive.
Alternatively, you can access your storage from the setup utility. On a Mac computer click the
‘show in Finder’ button. On a Windows computer this button is named ‘show in File Explorer’.
Blackmagic RAW
Your URSA Cine can record using Blackmagic RAW with constant quality or constant bitrate
settings. Clips recorded using Blackmagic RAW are compatible with DaVinci Resolve,
Blackmagic RAW Player and other applications that support the Blackmagic RAW SDK.
Blackmagic RAW has already been adopted by many post production platforms. It may not
besupported natively in all editing software but most work with the plugins provided in our
camera update and Blackmagic RAW installer.
Blackmagic RAW offers superior image quality, wide dynamic range and a broad selection of
compression ratios. Blackmagic RAW keeps all the benefits of RAW recording, but the files are
very fast because part of the demosaic is performed in the camera where it can be hardware
accelerated.
The Blackmagic RAW format is also intelligent because it understands the image sensor in
the camera. This means you get much better quality for a smaller file format. Smaller files
that are higher quality means Blackmagic RAW is a good alternative to other video and RAW
file formats.
Blackmagic RAW also includes powerful metadata support so the software reading the files
knows your camera settings. If you like shooting in video gamma because you need to turn
around edits quickly and you don’t have time for color correction, then this metadata feature
means you can select video gamma, shoot in video gamma, and the file will display with video
gamma applied when you open it in software. However underneath, the file is actually film
gamma and the metadata in the file is what’s telling the software to apply the video gamma.
So what all this means is if you want to color grade your images at some point, then you have
allthat film dynamic range preserved in the file. You don’t have your images hard clipped in the
whites or the blacks, so you retain detail and you can color grade to make all your images look
cinematic. However, if you don’t have time for color grading, that’s fine because your images
will have the video gamma applied and look like normal video camera images. You are not
locked in on the shoot and you can change your mind later during post production.
