For the most up to date information on supported CFast cards for Blackmagic URSA Mini please
refer to the Blackmagic Design support center at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
NOTE Only the ‘D-series’ of Sandisk CFast2.0 cards have been certified for use with
Blackmagic URSA Mini cameras. These cards can be identified by a large ‘D’printed
on the back of the card in the lower left corner, and we have also listed the model
numbers to make them easier to identify. This model number varies slightly fromregion
to region, with the‘x’ in the model number changing in different markets. Forexample,
an ‘A’ in the UnitedStates and a ‘G’ in the Asia Pacific and Europe region.
SD Cards
In addition to CFast 2.0 cards, Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro can record on high speed UHS-I and
UHS-II type SD cards. Using high end SDXC UHS-II cards, you can even record ProRes HQ
footage in 2160p for Ultra HD content!
With SD cards, you can use more affordable storage media when shooting compressed video
formats in HD. SDXC and SDHC are a very common media storage format for consumer still and
video cameras.
If you’ve ever shot video using a DSLR, or use a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, Pocket
Cinema Camera 4K or Blackmagic Video Assist, you probably already have compatible
SD cards to use.
For projects that don’t require the highest resolution Blackmagic RAW files, or for when long
recording durations are needed, using SD cards can be very economical. Lower capacity and
lower speed SD cards can also be used for storing and loading LUTs and presets.
Inserting an SD Card
To insert an SD Card:
1 Open the fold out monitor to access the SD card slots. These are the smaller slots
located between the CFast slots.
2 Set the storage media toggle switch above the slots to ‘SD’.
3 With the label on the SD card facing away from the touchscreen, insert the card until
you feel it lock into place. To remove an SD card, push the SD card in to eject it.
4 The storage indicator at the bottom of the LCD touchscreen will show the name and
record time remaining of detected cards.

When recording to SD cards on URSA Mini Pro 4.6K make sure
the storage media selection switch is set to ‘SD’
Choosing a fast SD Card
If you are recording Ultra HD on Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro, then we recommend using the
fastest high speed UHS-II type SD cards available. It’s important to use high speed UHS-II
SDcards for Ultra HD and HD recording, or UHS-1 cards for HD recording. These cards are
rated for fast data speeds and support larger storage sizes. Generally the faster the cards,
thebetter. Refer to the recommended SD cards table earlier in this section for more information.
Before using your cards, you will need to format them to either HFS+ or exFAT formats. You can
format your media with the storage manager or your computer. For more information, see the
‘preparing media for recording’ section.
If you want to, you can format your cards using a Mac or Windows computer. When using your
media on Mac, you can use HFS+ which is the Mac disk format. If you are using Windows then
you should use exFAT format, which is the Windows disk format that Mac computers can
also read.
The tables below identify the SD cards recommended for use when shooting with Blackmagic
URSA Mini Pro. It’s worth regularly checking the latest version of this manual for more up to date
information. Updated manuals are available for download from the Blackmagic Design website
at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
NOTE When filming high frame rate or Ultra HD footage on your URSA Mini, we
recommend CFast 2.0 or SD UHS-II recording media, which are typically faster and
available in higher storage capacities than SD UHS-I media.
