About the Blackmagic Design BMD-CINEURSAMUPRO12K URSA Mini Pro-12K
The Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro-12K is a groundbreaking digital film camera that sets a new benchmark for resolution and versatility in a handheld form factor. At its core is a custom-designed 12K sensor that captures an extraordinary 12,288 x 6480 resolution, providing unmatched detail and flexibility for cropping, reframing, stabilization, and visual effects work in post-production. This super 35mm sensor features dual native ISO and a wide dynamic range, enabling cinematographers to capture stunning imagery in a variety of lighting conditions with minimal noise. The camera's ability to record in Blackmagic RAW allows for full utilization of the sensor's data, offering a powerful digital negative that retains complete flexibility for color grading and creative manipulation within DaVinci Resolve.
Despite its immense resolution, the camera maintains the practical, modular design of the URSA Mini Pro line, featuring a carbon fiber polycarbonate composite body that is both durable and relatively lightweight for shoulder-mounted operation. It includes a built-in ND filter wheel with 2, 4, and 6-stop filters, professional dual XLR audio inputs with phantom power, and a bright 5-inch fold-out touchscreen for monitoring and control. Recording options are highly flexible, supporting Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes codecs to CFast 2.0 cards, external USB-C SSDs, or even directly to the DaVinci Resolve editing system via an Ethernet connection for an immediate, proxy-free workflow. The camera also supports high frame rate recording up to 120 frames per second at 8K and 60 fps at 12K, making it suitable for both standard and slow-motion cinematography.
The URSA Mini Pro-12K is engineered for the most demanding productions, from high-end feature films and television series to commercial work and nature documentaries. Its native PL lens mount ensures compatibility with the finest cinema lenses, while optional adapters allow for use with EF, B4, and other lens types. The inclusion of a USB-C expansion port enables direct connection to external recorders or the Blackmagic RAW Accelerator for real-time playback and editing. By combining extreme resolution with professional features and workflow integration, the URSA Mini Pro-12K empowers cinematographers to future-proof their content, capture immense detail, and realize their creative vision with unprecedented image quality.
