| Blackmagic URSA Broadcast camera |
On the 2nd of February 2018, Blackmagic Design announced a new high end professional broadcast camera. The
URSA Broadcast camera
for ENG and programming work as well for studio work and live
production. A very versatile camera which I'm very exited about. It's
completely tailored to be used in combination with b4 2/3 inch broadcast
lenses, by reducing the size of the sensor to 13mm x 7mm so you won't
have to deal with crop factor or magnification of the field of view. Of
course you won't have the same depth of field as with a full frame
camera, but in news- and events coverage or when shooting TV shows this
has never been an issue. And from experience I know that with enough
zoom and using a wide aperture you can still get some nice depth of
field shots. This is what Blackmagic has to say about the sensor: "
The
image sensor is designed for both HD and Ultra HD so you get amazing
texture and detail, accurate skin tones, vibrant color and high dynamic
range video, all without the need for post production". So without further ado, let's have a look at some of the key features.
