Three ultra-flexible cameras in one
The URSA Broadcast G2 is essentially three cameras in one: a broadcast production camera, a live studio camera, and a digital cinema camera. For broadcast applications, you'll appreciate this camera's ENG controls, which are arranged so you can locate them by feel. You also get a low-light sensor for crystal-clear images in natural light. In live studio applications, you'll make use of the URSA Broadcast G2's advanced YRGB color correction. You get compatibility with B4 ENG lenses and large studio box lenses, plus you can change the lens mount for even more flexibility. What's more, the optional Blackmagic focus and zoom demands enable you to control the lens from tripod handles. For digital cinema applications, the URSA Broadcast G2's powerful 6K digital film sensor opens up a salmagundi of options. You can deploy a PL mount for digital film lenses or an EF for photo lenses. The videographers here at Sweetwater are duly impressed by this camera's high dynamic range and outstanding low-light performance. To top it off, Blackmagic RAW support means you get a Hollywood-quality digital film camera.
Large 6K sensor and Blackmagic G5 Color Science
When only the highest quality will do, the Blackmagic Design URSA Broadcast G2 is up to the task. Its large 6K sensor, combined with Blackmagic Generation 5 Color Science, puts the same imaging technology used in digital film cameras squarely in your hands. Its 6K sensor features a resolution of 6144 x 3456, so it's equally suited for broadcast and digital film work. With a B4 lens, you get a 4K window of the sensor for Ultra HD broadcast use, and with a PL or an EF lens mount, you can use the full 6K resolution. You also get 13 stops of dynamic range, arming you with darker blacks and brighter whites. With the URSA Broadcast G2, broadcasters can benefit from digital-cinema quality.
B4 lens compatibility and included Fujinon LA16x8BRM-XB1A lens
The URSA Broadcast G2 features a B4 broadcast lens mount that includes optics tailor-made for the camera's sensor. The B4 lens mount works with modern Ultra HD lenses and lower-cost HD lenses. Since B4 lenses are par-focal, images remain in focus as you zoom in and out, so you don't need to constantly chase focus as you shoot. You also get full electronic lens control to adjust focus, iris, and zoom using the URSA Broadcast G2's onboard controls, or remotely. Plus, if you want to use a different lens, you can change the mount to PL, EF, or something else. This URSA Broadcast G2 comes with a Fujinon LA16x8BRM-XB1A lens, which features electronic back focus adjustment and a macro function. The LA16x8BRM-XB1A's included focus/zoom servo unit performs admirably in ENG and live studio applications. This lens also boasts an 8–128mm max aperture and a 16x zoom ratio.
