Blackmagic Design had a nice pre-NAB surprise in March: URSA
Mini Pro 4.6K.
It is much more than a mere evolution of the URSA Mini 4.6K.
ey made all the right moves with all kinds of great details.
e new URSA Mini Pro gets built-in ND lters, interchangeable
lens mounts, camera le-side outside LCD display and control
panel, thoughtful ergonomic switches and dials for faster and
easier operating. e body is the same size as URSA Mini 4.6K, so
all the existing accessories will t and work.
e sensor is the same as URSA Mini 4.6K: up to 4608 x 2592
resolution with 15 stops of dynamic range and the same wide color
gamut. ree ND lters with IR compensation can be summoned
up with the twist of a dial: Clear, 2, 4 or 6 stops.
URSA Mini Pro’s main display on the surface of the camera’s le
side shows timecode, shutter and lens settings, battery, recording
status, and audio levels. e display is backlit and designed to be
visible in both dimly lit studios and outside in direct sunlight.
Open the display door and a 4-inch LCD touchscreen monitor
resides on the other side. (In comparison, the URSA Mini 4.6K
monitor is 5-inches. Something had to give—one inch—to make
room for the new ND lters and controls.)
