Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF Body Only

The Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF is an elite cinema camera built around a revolutionary 12K full-frame sensor that delivers 16 stops of dynamic range and an advanced RGBW architecture for rich, accurate color. Designed for high-end productions, the body features a robust magnesium alloy chassis, a built-in 5" HDR touchscreen, and an additional assist station for crew members to monitor settings without external displays. It provides incredible flexibility through an interchangeable lens mount system—supporting PL, LPL, and EF glass—and a built-in optical low-pass filter (OLPF) that eliminates moiré while preserving the immense detail captured by its 100MP frames.

To streamline professional workflows, the URSA Cine integrates high-performance networking and connectivity, including 10G Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and built-in hardware streaming for RTMP and SRT. This allows for real-time cloud collaboration where proxy files can be uploaded instantly to Blackmagic Cloud, appearing in DaVinci Resolve bins while the shoot is still in progress. The camera is further rounded out by industry-standard LEMO and Fischer power connectors, internal 8TB high-speed storage modules, and built-in IRND filters, ensuring it can handle the most demanding onset environments with minimal external cabling.

Product Features in Detail

Revolutionary 12K Full-Frame RGBW Sensor

Experience unparalleled image fidelity with a massive 36 x 24mm full-frame sensor featuring a unique RGBW architecture. This design provides equal amounts of red, green, and blue pixels, optimized to deliver incredibly rich colors and a sprawling 16 stops of dynamic range. With in-sensor scaling, you can capture stunning detail at 4K, 8K, or 12K resolutions without cropping, ensuring you always retain the full field of view of your lenses.

Versatile Large-Format Formats and Anamorphic Support

The URSA Cine is built for ultimate creative flexibility, offering a 3:2 open gate mode that allows for extensive reframing in post-production. It natively supports a wide array of anamorphic de-squeeze factors (1.3x to 2x) and includes specialized 9K Super 35 modes (2, 3, and 4-perf) to ensure full compatibility with classic cinema glass. Whether you are shooting 12K 17:9 at 100 fps or 8K widescreen at 224 fps, the camera delivers smooth motion rendering and high-resolution stills.

High-End Body with Dual-Station Monitoring

Designed for elite film sets, the URSA Cine features a robust magnesium alloy chassis with a dedicated assist station on the right side. This second 5" HDR touchscreen allows the crew to adjust settings and monitor shots without crowding the operator. The main 1500 cd/m² fold-out monitor is visible even in direct sunlight and features a specialized focus puller’s mode, ensuring critical sharpness on high-resolution 12K productions.

Professional Connectivity and Integrated Power

Eliminate cable clutter with a comprehensive array of industry-standard ports, including 7-pin LEMO and 3-pin Fischer connectors for 24V power and remote start/stop of lens motors. The camera is powered by a standard 8-pin 24V LEMO connection and comes with a B-mount battery plate, supporting high-voltage power systems from industry leaders. For data, dual 12G-SDI outputs and 10G Ethernet provide high-speed monitoring and lightning-fast cloud syncing.

Advanced Optical Filtration and Color Science

Maintain image purity in challenging environments using the built-in IRND filters (2, 4, and 6-stop) and a precisely matched Optical Low-Pass Filter (OLPF). These components work in tandem with Generation 5 Color Science to eliminate moiré and IR contamination while producing pleasing skin tones and accurate rendering of highly saturated colors. This combination ensures that the massive amount of color data captured by the 12K sensor remains natural and cinematic.

Seamless Cloud Workflow and Internal 8TB Storage

The URSA Cine is the first camera to integrate high-speed Cloud Store technology directly into the body. Using the included 8TB Blackmagic Media Module, you can record over four hours of 12K footage and offload it via 10G Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The camera can simultaneously record H.264 proxies that upload to Blackmagic Cloud in seconds, allowing editors in remote locations to begin working in DaVinci Resolve bins while the shoot is still in progress.
