New 17K Sensor

The new URSA Cine 17K 65 camera features a new 65mm sensor designed for high-quality images at all resolutions from 4K to a massive 17K. The larger sensor builds on URSA Mini Pro 12K technology with 16 stops of dynamic range. The RGBW architecture provides equal amounts of red, green, and blue pixels to deliver rich colors at all resolutions.

Storage Options

Blackmagic Media Dock accelerates post-production workflow by making it faster and simpler to start editing and color correction. You can mount up to three Blackmagic Media Modules for high-speed access to media from multiple URSA Cine cameras, all at the same time.

The URSA Cine 17K records to the included Blackmagic Media Module 8TB, allowing customers to capture over four hours of Blackmagic RAW in 17K using the full 65mm sensor aperture or up to 20 hours in 4K. Customers can also use the optional Blackmagic Media Module CF, which has dual CFexpress slots.

Built-In Cloud Storage

The URSA Cine 17K features built-in ultra-fast Cloud Store technology, allowing customers to record at the highest resolutions and frame rates for hours and access their files directly over high-speed 10G Ethernet. It supports creating a small H.264 proxy file in addition to the camera's original media for upload to Blackmagic Cloud in seconds, so their media is available back at the studio in real time.

Lens Options

The PL lens mount comes preinstalled on the camera body, and it is user-interchangeable for optional PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad mounts. An active Hasselblad HC lens mount is included with the camera for use with medium-format still lenses. Each mount has contact pins to read lens metadata for monitoring and post-production.

Built-In OLPF

The camera includes a high-performance, optical low-pass filter that is precisely matched to the sensor. The OLPF also incorporates updated IR filtering that improves far red color response, which, when combined with Blackmagic RAW processing for the URSA Cine 17K, preserves color and critical image detail for new levels of image fidelity.

Monitoring Options

There is a large foldout 5" HDR touchscreen monitor on one side and an external color status LCD on the other. There is also a second 5" HDR touchscreen, allowing the crew to work around the camera without needing external monitors. There's even a dedicated focus puller's mode to help customers get perfect focus. The URSA Cine 17K supports the optional Blackmagic URSA Cine EVF to make outdoor and handheld shooting accurate and easy.

Accessory and Control Ports

The 7-pin LEMO and 3-pin Fischer connectors on the front of the camera provide record start/stop and 24V power and are ideal for onboard accessories such as focus motors.

Streaming Options

You can live stream directly from the camera using its hardware streaming engine, which supports RTMP and SRT streaming to major platforms or directly to clients. Simply connect to the internet via Ethernet, high-speed Wi-Fi, or even connect a 4G or 5G connection for mobile data.

Ample Power

An 8-pin LEMO connector on the back of the camera is compatible with 24V and 12V power supplies, so you can use new or existing ways to power your camera. The camera includes a 250W power supply and a B-mount battery plate, so customers can use a wide range of high-voltage batteries from manufacturers such as IDX, Blueshape, Core SWX, BEBOB, and more. There's also an additional 12V 2-pin LEMO output on the rear of the camera to power lower-voltage accessories.

Versatile Body Design

The evenly weighted camera body is built with a robust magnesium alloy chassis and lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite skin to help customers move quickly on set.

Complete Base Package

Every camera comes in a rugged Pelican case with custom-cut foam to fit the camera and its accessories. It also includes a top handle, antennas for high-speed Wi-Fi, a baseplate, and a 24V power supply.

Blackmagic Design URSA Cine EVF

Add the high-resolution URSA Cine EVF to your Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 12K or PYXIS 6K camera for crisp, clear images, making shooting easy in any environment. The EVF features a 1920 x 1080 color OLED display supporting up to 60 fps to view your image with status information, frame guides, and even a built-in focus chart to help you achieve the sharpest focus. It mounts on top of your camera using the included bracket assembly, which includes a 15mm rod clamp, a 19mm cross rod, and two carbon fiber 15mm rods. A tally light allows you to clearly see when the camera is rolling.

The built-in proximity sensor switches on the EVF only when it's in use to save power, and it features a 4-element glass diopter that provides a range of adjustments. The EVF connects to the URSA Cine 12K or PYXIS 6K using a USB-C cable, which is also used for firmware updates. Also included are two different rubber eyecups to give you options for comfort and size.

NOTE: The Blackmagic URSA Cine Handle is required for mounting the EVF onto Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K and Blackmagic PYXIS 6K cameras.
