SD Cards
In addition to CFast 2.0 cards, Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K 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 or Blackmagic Video Assist, you probably already have compatible SD cards to use.
For projects that don't require the highest resolution 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.

you feel it lock into place. To remove an SD card, push the SD card in to eject it.

record time remaining of detected cards.

Choosing a fast SD Card
If you are recording Ultra HD on Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K, 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.
