Blackmagic's extraordinary 6K sensor and fifth-generation colorimetry offer the same technology as digital cinema cameras. With a resolution of 6144 x 3456, the sensor provides the opportunity to make television and film productions. When using B4 lenses, it allows you to record in 4K UHD definition, while when using PL or EF lenses, it is possible to take advantage of the full resolution. The 13-stop dynamic range provides more intense blacks and bright whites that are ideal for color adjustments. This is a real revolution in terms of image quality.
URSA Studio Viewfinder G2
The new Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder G2 model, whose bright 2000 nits screen makes it easy to view images in full sunlight. The price of the viewfinder, now available, has also been reduced by $300 to $1495. This will give users the possibility to combine it with the URSA Broadcast G2 camera, in order to make live productions.

In turn, the mount provides the opportunity to tilt and rotate it, and it is possible to vary the degree of tension of these movements by means of lateral adjustments. In addition, it has a metal visor that facilitates its use outdoors with high luminosity, and this can be removed quickly when it is not needed.
Micro Converter 12G
The new family of Micro Converter 12G models allows you to connect HDMI equipment to SDI systems. These include custom-developed components and various features characteristic of high-end versions, for example, three-dimensional conversion tables and compatibility with SD, HD and UHD formats.
