Blackmagicdesign URSA - URSA Settings Configuration; ISO and White Balance; Shutter Angle and Audio Input

ISO
To adjust the ISO settings, tap the ISO arrow icons.
ISO settings are helpful when you are shooting in a variety of light conditions. The optimum
ISOsetting for your Blackmagic URSA is ISO 400.
Depending on your situation, however, you may choose a lower or higher ISO setting.
Forexample, in low light conditions ISO 800 can be suitable. In bright conditions ISO 200
canprovide richer colors.
White Balance
To adjust the ‘white balance’ settings, tap the white balance arrow icons with your finger.
Your Blackmagic URSA includes white balance presets for a variety of color temperature conditions.
These are:
 2500, 2800, 3000, 3200, 3400, 3600, 4000, 4500 and 4800K for various conditions
under tungsten, incandescent or fluorescent light, or under dull natural light including
candle light, sunrise/sunset, morning, and after noon light.
 5000, 5200, 5400 and 5600K for outdoors on a clear, sunny day.
 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500 and 8000K for a variety of daylight conditions.
Every light source emits a color. For example, a candle flame emits a warm color, and an
overcast sky emits a cool color. White balance settings are used to color balance your image so
white stays white. For example, when shooting under tungsten lamps which emit a warm light,
selecting 3200K adds some blue to the image. This balances the color so white is
accurately recorded.
Color balance settings can also be used for creating color effects. For example, setting your
white balance to 7500K can significantly warm your picture to create an intimate mood.
Shutter Angle
To adjust the ‘shutter angle’ settings, tap the shutter angle arrow icons.
Shutter angle defines the level of motion blur in your video, and can be used to compensate
forvarying light conditions. 180 degrees is the optimum shutter angle for capturing a satisfying
motion blur in most conditions. However as lighting conditions change, or the amount of
movement in your scene increases, you may decide to adjust accordingly.
For example, 360 degrees is considered ‘wide open’ and allows maximum light onto the sensor.
This is useful for low light conditions with subtle movement in your scene. Alternatively,
ifshooting motor sport with rapid movement, a narrow shutter angle will provide minimal motion
blur for sharper, crisper images.
When shooting 24p in countries with 50 hertz power supplies, 172.8 degrees will minimize
potential flickering from 50Hz light sources.
Audio Settings
To adjust audio input and monitoring settings on your Blackmagic URSA, select the ‘audio’
touchscreen menu, then tap or slide the relevant arrows and slider icons with your finger. Scroll
the menu to reveal more audio settings.
Audio Input
To change the audio input between camera mic and external XLR inputs, select ‘camera’ or 'inputs'
respectively.
