The ?” mount lets customers use existing HD lenses or Ultra HD lenses. The lens mount features high performance optics with spherical aberration correction specifically designed to match the camera’s sensor. The B4 lens mount and matching sensor on URSA Broadcast enables wide depth of field, so broadcast customers can shoot without constantly chasing focus. This makes it fast to work with video from URSA Broadcast because it’s compatible with virtually all existing broadcast systems and editing software. URSA Broadcast records using DNx145, DNx220X or ProRes, so video doesn’t need to be copied or transcoded.

Unlike other broadcast cameras, URSA Broadcast records onto inexpensive standard SD cards, UHS-II cards and CFast cards, and records 1080i or 2160p video into standard. For example, customers can use their existing B4 HD and Ultra HD lenses with URSA Broadcast. URSA Broadcast is also designed to work with the equipment and systems traditional broadcasters already have. URSA Broadcast lets customers shoot, edit and get stories on air faster than ever before. That means customers don’t have to color correct images before going to air, making URSA Broadcast perfect for news, live sports, studio talk and game shows and more.
