Blackmagicdesign URSA - URSA Overview and Connectivity; Audio Station Connectivity

Camera Assist and Audio Station Connectors
All audio and video connectors are accessible from the Camera Assist and Audio workstation.
The BNC connectors on the rear of the camera are arranged so you can connect them from the
side or the rear and easily identify them.
SDI Out
Blackmagic URSA’s 12G-SDI output is used to send HD and Ultra HD video to SDI equipment
such as routers, monitors, SDI capture devices, and broadcast switchers.
SDI In
When connecting Blackmagic URSA to a switcher for live production, connect the switcher’s
program output to Blackmagic URSA’s 12G-SDI input. Now you can view the switcher’s program
output by pressing the PGM button on the fold out monitor. Your camera’s program input can
also be used to connect to the playback output of an external recorder. You can then select
between the camera image and the feed from the external recorder by pressing the PGM button.
Use the rear panel BNC connectors to input or output timecode, syncto an external reference signal,
and input or output 12G-SDI video. Connect external power via the 4 pin XLR connector.
REF In
Synchronize Blackmagic URSA to a common reference signal, such as black burst or tri-level
sync, by connecting to the ‘ref in’ BNC connector. This lets you sync Blackmagic URSA to other
SDI video equipment, for example, when using multiple cameras connected to a switcher.
Timecode In
Record timecode from other professional audio and video equipment, such as audio mixers
andclapper boards by connecting them to Blackmagic URSA’s ‘timecode in’ BNC connector.
Thisensures audio and picture can be accurately synchronized during post production.
Timecode Out
Send timecode from Blackmagic URSA to other professional video equipment by connecting
tothe ‘timecode out’ BNC connector.
