Project Frame Rate
The project frame rate is URSA Mini’s recording format frame rate and provides a selection of
common frame rates used in the film and television industry. For example, 23.98 frames per
second using 4K ProRes HQ. This frame rate is normally set to match your playback speed and
audio sync used in your post production workflow and delivery requirements.
Your Blackmagic URSA Mini has 8 project frame rate settings including 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30,
50, 59.94 and 60 frames per second.
Off Speed Recording
By default, your URSA Mini’s project and sensor frame rates are matched for a natural playback
speed. However, by tapping the 'off speed recording' switch icon you can set your sensor frame
rate independently.
Off Speed Frame Rate
With ‘off speed frame rate’ enabled, tap the arrows next to the ‘off speed frame rate’ indicator to
set your URSA Mini’s sensor frame rate.
The sensor frame rate sets how many actual frames from the sensor are recorded every
second. This frame rate will affect how fast or slow your video will play back at your set project
frame rate.
For more information on off speed frame rates, see the 'frames per second' section in the
‘touchscreen features’ section of this manual.
Preferred Card for Recording
Use this setting to select which storage card or drive your URSA Mini will record to first when
both slots are in use. The options are ‘card 1,’ ‘card 2,’ and 'fullest card'. When using an SSD the
options will be 'Card 1', 'SSD' and 'fullest card'. Picking either ‘card 1’ or ‘card 2,’ isa matter of
personal preference, but using either consistently will let you know which card to swap out first
as your storage fills up. 'fullest card' can help group files chronologically when shooting a single
camera project.
The setting you choose is applied when a CFast card, SD card or SSD is inserted. You can
override this setting at any time by entering the storage manager and setting a different card as
'active.' It's important to note, however, that ejecting and reinserting cards will revert to the
current 'preferred card for recording' setting. When URSA Mini SSD Recorder is connected and
an SSD is loaded, the recorder takes over from URSA Mini's number '2' storage slot.
For more information refer to the 'URSA Mini SSD Recorder’ section in this manual.
TIP When using ‘window sensor’ mode, your URSA Mini’s ‘resolution’ settingswill be
labelled ‘resolution - sensor windowed’ to reflect this.
NOTE For information on the maximum frame rates available for each recording format
and codec, refer to the ‘maximum sensor frame rates’ table in the ‘recording’ section of
this manual.
