Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF + EVF

The Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF is a masterwork of digital cinema engineering, featuring a revolutionary 36 x 24mm full-frame sensor that captures a massive 12288 x 6480 resolution. This 12K sensor is built with a unique RGBW architecture and Generation 5 Color Science, delivering 16 stops of dynamic range with stunning skin tones and rich color across all resolutions without cropping. Designed for the most demanding Hollywood sets, the camera body is constructed from a robust magnesium alloy chassis and includes industry-standard LEMO and Fischer connectors for remote control and accessory power. This kit further enhances the operator experience by including an adjustable top assembly and a high-resolution USB-C OLED EVF, ensuring precision monitoring for high-end large-format productions.

Beyond its elite imaging, the URSA Cine 12K is built for the future of global collaboration, featuring high-speed 10G Ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi for SRT and RTMP live streaming. It records 12-bit Blackmagic RAW to an included 8TB Media Module, which can store over four hours of 12K footage and sync directly to the Blackmagic Cloud for real-time editing in DaVinci Resolve. The camera is exceptionally versatile, offering an interchangeable lens mount system that supports PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad mounts, along with built-in optical IRND filters and an optical low-pass filter to eliminate moiré. With dual 5" HDR touchscreens—one for the operator and a dedicated assist station for the crew—the URSA Cine 12K provides a complete, high-density production solution in a single, perfectly weighted package.

Product Features in Detail

Revolutionary 12K Full-Frame Sensor

The URSA Cine features a groundbreaking 36 x 24mm full-frame sensor built with a unique RGBW architecture, delivering equal amounts of red, green, and blue pixels for superior color fidelity. With a massive 16 stops of dynamic range and in-sensor scaling, you can record at 4K, 8K, or 12K resolutions using the entire sensor area without cropping, ensuring you retain the full field of view and cinematic characteristics of your lenses.

High-End Magnesium Alloy & Carbon Fiber Body

Designed for the rigors of elite film sets, the camera body features a robust magnesium alloy chassis paired with a lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate skin. The design is perfectly weighted for stability and includes dual monitoring stations: a 5" fold-out touchscreen for the operator and a dedicated assist station on the opposite side with its own 5" LCD and full controls, allowing crew members to pull focus or adjust settings without obstructing the operator.

Interchangeable Lens Mount System

To provide ultimate creative freedom, the URSA Cine features an interchangeable lens mount that allows for quick transitions between PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad mounts. Each mount includes electronic contact pins to read and record vital lens metadata. This flexibility allows cinematographers to switch from modern, high-speed cinema glass to vintage photographic lenses on the same camera body, depending on the project's visual requirements.

Advanced Internal OLPF and IRND Filters

To ensure the highest image fidelity, the camera includes a high-performance Optical Low-Pass Filter (OLPF) precisely matched to the 12K sensor to eliminate moiré and aliasing. Complementing this are built-in, precision-mechanized IRND filters (2, 4, and 6-stop). These filters are color-balanced to match the camera's Generation 5 Color Science, eliminating infrared contamination and providing consistent colorimetry even under harsh lighting.

Cloud-Integrated Workflow and 10G Ethernet

The URSA Cine is the first digital film camera with high-capacity Cloud Store technology built-in, utilizing an 8TB Media Module for hours of 12K recording. With a 10G Ethernet port and built-in Wi-Fi, the camera can stream via RTMP/SRT and automatically upload H.264 proxy files to Blackmagic Cloud. This enables a revolutionary workflow where editors can begin working in DaVinci Resolve with live-synced footage while the shoot is still in progress.

Industry-Standard Power and Control

Engineered for seamless integration with professional cinema accessories, the camera features 7-pin LEMO and 3-pin Fischer connectors that provide 24V power and start/stop triggers for lens motors. The main power is handled by a high-voltage 8-pin LEMO 24V input, and the kit includes a B-mount battery plate to support the latest high-capacity, high-voltage cinema batteries, ensuring the entire rig and all connected accessories remain powered through a single source.
