Blackmagicdesign URSA BROADCAST - Page 71

Codec and Quality
The ‘codec and quality’ menu is split into two rows. The top row lets you choose between three
codec families, CinemaDNG RAW, Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD, while the bottom row offers
quality options within those families. For example, the quality options available within the RAW
codec family are ‘lossless’, ‘3:1’ and ‘4:1’.
Resolution
This setting works in combination with the ‘codec’ setting. Use it to select the resolution for your
desired recording format.
For example, if you want to record Ultra HD clips using ProRes HQ, select ‘ProRes’ and ‘HQ’ in
the ‘codec and quality’ menu. Now choose 'Ultra HD' in the resolution menu.

TIP The amount of video you can record on a CFast card, or SD card will increase
when choosingcodecs that utilize higher compression. Refer to the ‘record duration
table’ inthe ‘recording’ section for more information.
