White Balance
This switch is used to adjust the camera’s white balance. Pushing up will increase the
color temperature by 50K, and pushing down will decrease it by 50K. Holding the
switch up or down will move more quickly through available values.
Auto White Balance
Pressing this button will reveal a white ‘auto white balance’ box in the center of the
LCDfor five seconds. This box will also appear on any SDI output that has ‘status text’
enabled in the menu settings. The white box indicates the specific area of your image
where the white balance will be calculated from, so your gray card should be
positioned within this box. Pressing and holding the 'Auto W/B’ button for three
seconds will perform an ‘auto white balance’, and the square will change from white to
green to confirm that this has been performed successfully.
For more information on enabling status text for your URSA Mini's front or main
SDIoutputs, see the 'monitor settings' section in this manual.

The F1 and F2 keys are ‘function’ keys that can be programmed to a variety of
commonly used functions using your URSA Mini Pro 4.6K’s 'setup' menu. By default,
F1issetto 'false color' while F2 is set to 'display LUT'.
For more information, see the 'touchscreen controls' section of this manual.

Use the HFR or ‘high frame rate’ button to toggle off speed frame rates. To use this
button, simply set the off speed frame rate you’d like to use in your URSA Mini Pro
4.6K’s ‘frame rate’ menu. Pressing this button will toggle between your chosen off
speed frame rate and project frame rate. It's worth mentioning that this setting can only

information at a glance, as well as monitoring and adjusting audio levels. Automatic focus can
be set using compatible lenses and the transport controls let you playback clips.
TIP Your URSA Mini Pro 4.6K can also suggest flicker free shutter angles or
shutter speeds based on the power frequency in your region. These must be
