With the 8TB Blackmagic Media Module, the URSA Cine records 4+ hours of 12K RAW or 20 hours in 4K, so you can shoot longer without interruption.

Generation 5 Color Science

Blackmagic Generation 5 Color Science maximizes the URSA Cine sensor’s color data for richer skin tones and vibrant highlights, like neon signs and taillights. It powers Blackmagic RAW processing, preserving color and dynamic range for post-production. Compatible with all previous Blackmagic RAW files, it lets you apply the new film curve to both new and existing footage.

Built-In Optical Low-Pass Filter

The URSA Cine features a high-performance optical low-pass filter (OLPF) to reduce moiré and aliasing from high-resolution sensors and sharp lenses. It also includes updated IR filtering for improved far-red color accuracy. Combined with Blackmagic RAW processing, the OLPF ensures richer colors and sharper details, delivering unmatched image fidelity.

Built-In Color-Balanced ND Filters

The URSA Cine features high-quality 2-, 4-, and 6-stop ND filters for quick light adjustment while maintaining accurate color. Designed to prevent IR contamination, these true optical filters move seamlessly into place with a precision mechanism. Easily view ND settings as numbers, stops, or fractions on the LCD for total control in any lighting condition.

Cinematic Resolution & High Frame Rates

Shoot in 4K, 8K, 9K Super 35, or 12K with frame rates up to 100 fps in 12K and 224 fps in 8K. Even at lower frame rates, motion rendering is incredibly smooth, capturing both stills and motion at 100MP per frame.
