BUILT-IN ND FILTERS
HIGH-QUALITY NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTERS WITH IR COMPENSATION.
URSA Mini Pro G2 features high-quality neutral density (ND) filters that let you quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. The 2, 4 and 6-stop filters have been specifically designed to match the colourimetry and colour science of the camera, providing you with additional latitude, even under harsh lighting conditions. This lets you use different combinations of aperture and shutter angle to achieve shallower depth of field, or specific levels of motion blur, in a wider range of situations. The IR filters have been designed to filter both optical wave lengths and IR wave lengths evenly to eliminate IR contamination of the images that most ND filters can suffer from. The ND filters are true optical filters with a precision mechanism that quickly moves them into place when the ND filter dial is turned. The filter settings can even be displayed as either an ND number, stop reduction or fraction on the LCD.

FAMILIAR BROADCAST CONTROL
QUICKLY CHANGE SETTINGS WITHOUT TAKING THE CAMERA OFF YOUR SHOULDER.
Like the world’s best broadcast cameras, URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 features independent controls for direct access to the most important camera settings. Buttons, switches and dials are laid out in a logical order that makes them easy to find by feeling while using the viewfinder. This means you’ll be able to adjust settings, add an ND filter or even change frame rate without having to fold out the touchscreen or take the camera off your shoulder.

INTERCHANGEABLE LENS MOUNTS
COMPATIBLE WITH EF, PL, B4 AND F MOUNT LENSES.
Different projects require different lenses, which is why URSA Mini Pro models feature an interchangeable lens mount. Imagine shooting regular work using a photography lens but then being able to change to an aPLmount cinema lens if you get a high-end film job. URSA Mini Pro makes it easy because you can quickly switch between, PL, B4 and F mount lenses, making it compatible with the widest possible range of professional lenses. That means you can work with high-quality EF or F mount photographic lenses, large PL cinema lenses, and even B4 broadcast lenses, all with the same camera. URSA Mini Pro comes standard with an EF mount. Additional optional PL, B4 and F lens mounts can be purchased separately. With URSA Mini Pro, you get a single camera that works with virtually all professional lenses so you can choose precisely the lens you need.

BLACKMAGIC RAW
The world’s fastest RAW format with better quality and better features
Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary new and very modern codec that’s easier to use and much better quality than popular video formats, but with all the benefits of RAW recording. Featuring multiple new technologies, such as a new advanced de-mosaic algorithm, Blackmagic RAW gives you visually lossless images that are ideal for high resolution, high frame rate and high dynamic range workflows. Incredible image quality, extensive metadata support and highly optimized GPU and CPU-accelerated processing make Blackmagic RAW the world’s first codec that can be used for acquisition, post-production and finishing. Blackmagic RAW is a new design, plus it’s cross-platform, freely available and includes a developer SDK so anyone can add support for Blackmagic RAW to their software.

NEXT GENERATION RAW CODEC
The quality of RAW at the speed of video
Working with traditional RAW formats is difficult because the files are huge, they’re proprietary and extremely processor intensive, which makes them slow and inefficient. While working with traditional video codecs is faster, quality is damaged because of the limitation to 10-bit and the 4:2:2 video filter that’s used which dramatically reduces colour detail. Blackmagic Design engineers have spent years solving these problems and have created a new RAW codec that moves part of the de-mosaic processing from the computer’s CPU into the camera itself, resulting in incredibly efficient encoding for an entirely new high-performance RAW experience. With Blackmagic RAW, you get the same quality, bit depth, dynamic range and controls as RAW, with better performance and even smaller file sizes than traditional video codecs.

FEATURE FILM QUALITY
Cinematic quality images that you can use for all your work
The incredible quality and speed of Blackmagic RAW make it ideal for virtually any type of production. The pristine camera native quality of Blackmagic RAW Q0 or 3:1 is perfect for effects-heavy feature film and commercial work, where you need the highest possible quality. Blackmagic RAW Q5 and 5:1 are extremely high quality making them great for episodic television and independent films. Blackmagic RAW quality is so high, that you can even use 8:1 and 12:1 settings for incredibly small files that are suitable for all kinds of uses such as broadcast news, live sports events, digital signage, A/V, corporate video, weddings and more.

ADVANCED DE‑MOSAIC
Custom de-mosaic in the camera hardware allows maximum speed playback
The new advanced de-mosaic algorithm is a central component of Blackmagic RAW. Part of the RAW processing is moved out of the software and into the camera, where it can be accelerated. Noise management, sensor profiling and new edge reconstruction algorithms are used to produce high-quality cinematic images with incredible depth, crisp details and beautiful image separation. The partially de‑mosaiced images, along with the unique characteristics of the image sensor, are encoded and saved into the Blackmagic RAW file so you get total control over features such as ISO, white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation and more. The partial in-camera accelerated de‑mosaic allows for extremely efficient compression. This results in significantly reduced processing on your computer, making it faster to decode and use the files while retaining the sensor data needed for full RAW control.

GENERATION 4 COLOUR SCIENCE
Accurate skin tones and faithful colour reproduction
Blackmagic RAW uses Blackmagic Design Generation 4 Colour Science to reproduce extremely accurate skin tones and gorgeous, lifelike colours that rival those of cameras costing tens of thousands of dollars more. Images are encoded using a custom non‑linear 12‑bit space designed to provide the maximum amount of colour data and dynamic range. Unlike traditional RAW workflows that rely on LUTs which alter the pixel data harshly, Blackmagic RAW is non-destructive. It harnesses the power of metadata to ensure that the creative vision of the cinematographer is carried through to post-production. Most importantly, the free SDK lets third-party software applications use the embedded sensor profile metadata if required, as well as Blackmagic Design colour science for predictable and accurate image rendering that yields consistent colour throughout the entire pipeline.

2 SEPARATE ENCODING METHODS
Constant Bitrate or Constant Quality Encoding for Total Control
Blackmagic RAW features both constant quality and constant bitrate encoding options, giving you the flexibility to prioritize image quality or file size so you can better tailor your production costs.

Constant Bitrate
High-quality images and predictable file sizes

The constant bitrate encoding option is very similar to most codecs that are set to never exceed a specific data rate. The four constant bitrate variations are Blackmagic RAW 3:1, 5:1, 8:1 and 12:1. These ratios are based on the unprocessed file size of a single frame from the camera’s sensor, making it easy to understand the relative amount of compression being used. The constant bitrate variations are designed to give you the best possible images with predictable and consistent file sizes.

Constant Quality
Variable bitrate encoding for guaranteed quality

The new constant quality options preserve image quality by completely removing the upper data limit. That means complex frames will be encoded at higher data rates to preserve detail and maintain quality. Only constant quality ensures quality levels never suffer. Blackmagic RAW Q0 has minimum quantization and yields the highest possible quality, while Blackmagic RAW Q5 uses moderate quantization for more efficient encoding and a smaller file size.

EXTREMELY FAST
The world’s fastest RAW codec for better render speed on complex projects
Unlike traditional RAW formats, which are slow and processor-intensive, Blackmagic RAW is designed to accelerate your post-production workflow. It’s highly optimized for AVX, AVX2 and SSE4.1-enabled processors, it’s multi‑threaded and it works across multiple CPU cores. In addition, Blackmagic RAW is also GPU accelerated and works with Apple Metal, CUDA and OpenCL. Frame decoding and image processing are extremely fast, making Blackmagic RAW super smooth for editing, colour correction and visual effects in DaVinci Resolve. Best of all, clips are stored as single files, not image sequences. That makes media management easier and file transfers faster than other RAW formats. Blackmagic RAW performance scales as processors and GPUs get faster, making it the only codec that’s ready for tomorrow’s higher resolution and higher frame rate formats.

INTEGRATED METADATA
Supports embedded metadata or user-customizable sidecar metadata files
Blackmagic RAW and the .braw SDK feature highly descriptive and flexible metadata options that are designed to support today’s modern workflows. The SDK takes care of all the work for developers, so supporting Blackmagic RAW is easy and fast. Using the Blackmagic RAW SDK means you get flawless handling of all camera metadata such as lens information, iris, ISO, colour space, slate information and much, much more. Metadata is embedded directly into the .braw file. In addition, .sidecar files that contain fully editable and human-readable JSON formatted metadata can also be used. The metadata in .sidecar files is ancillary, which means that it can override the file’s embedded metadata without overwriting it. Blackmagic RAW also supports frame-based metadata so you can access values, such as focus distance, that often change on a frame-by-frame basis.

BLACKMAGIC RAW PLAYER
Review Blackmagic RAW clips with consistent colour between different software
Traditional RAW formats often display content inconsistently when viewed through different media players. Because the SDK manages all colour, and colour transformations and also contains information about the characteristics of the camera’s sensor, the Blackmagic RAW Player can reliably display all of the dynamic range and deep colours of .braw clips. Any software that utilizes the Blackmagic RAW SDK can ensure an accurate and reliable interpretation of colour and tonal values rendered to the viewer. Most importantly, playback will be silky smooth, even on slower systems that typically struggle with other high-bitrate RAW formats.

AVAILABLE NOW IN DAVINCI RESOLVE
DaVinci Resolve includes support for Blackmagic RAW, so you can start shooting and finishing your work immediately. DaVinci Resolve is used on more feature films and television commercials than any other solution and is the standard in high-end post-production. This means you can work with the world’s largest facilities to finish your work, or simply download DaVinci Resolve now and edit, colour correct, and perform visual effects and audio post-production yourself. DaVinci Resolve includes full support for Blackmagic RAW, giving you a non-destructive workflow. Picture adjustments and settings that you make in the camera will come into DaVinci Resolve via metadata and are completely editable. You can even make changes to the RAW settings in DaVinci Resolve, open the files in other applications that support Blackmagic RAW and automatically see the settings, so you have a consistent look and controls between software apps and different platforms.

OPEN STANDARD AND FREE TO DOWNLOAD
Cross-platform and license-free
Blackmagic RAW is the world’s only truly modern, high-performance, professional RAW codec that is open, cross-platform and free. The codec is supported via the free SDK on Mac OS, Windows and Linux systems. Best of all, there are no hidden licenses or ongoing fees. Blackmagic RAW has been designed to provide the industry with an open, elegant and standardized high-quality image format that can be used across products and in customer workflows for free.

FREE DEVELOPER SDK
A fully documented SDK is publicly available
The .braw SDK is fully documented and publicly available for all developers on Mac OS, Windows and Linux. Using the SDK gives you access to GPU-accelerated and CPU-optimized algorithms for decoding Blackmagic RAW files. In addition to the encoded image data, the SDK also provides access to unique information about the camera’s imaging sensor so you know how to accurately decode and present the image based on the characteristics of the sensor. The SDK supports 32‑bit float, 16‑bit integer and 8‑bit integer pixel formats, manages the decoding of colour science, allows for user-customizable colour space transformation, and provides access to all embedded and sidecar metadata. You even get advanced features such as I/O clip trimming, preview scaling for fast playback and much more. Best of all, Blackmagic RAW and the .braw SDK are available free and even included on Blackmagic Design’s camera software installers.

ADVANCED 3D LUT MANAGEMENT
Blackmagic RAW gives you several options for working non‑destructively with LUTs. 3D LUTs can be directly embedded as metadata within the.BRAW file, making it easy to display the images with the "look" you want. LUTs can also be stored in the .sidecar files that accompany them.BRAW files. LUTs stored in the sidecar file will automatically override embedded LUTs, and if the sidecar file is removed, the embedded LUT will revert to be used again. When working with software such as Davinci Resolve Studio it’s easy to access these 3D LUTs for editing and colour correction, as they always travel with the BRAW file. Davinci Resolve can even save colour grades as 3D LUTs, so you can build your own LUT cube files for completely custom "looks" and endless creative options.
