The new Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 is an incredibly powerful camera designed for both traditional and online broadcasters. The 3 cameras in 1 design allows it to work as a 4K production camera, a 4K studio camera or a 6K digital film camera! It's a perfect solution for broadcasters because it uses the lenses and batteries you already own! You can record to common SD cards, UHS-II cards, CFast 2.0 cards or external USB disks, using common file formats such as H.265, ProRes and Blackmagic RAW. This means it's compatible with all video software and broadcast media management systems. You can even change the lens mount! No other broadcast camera is so flexible!

Broadcast Production Camera
The perfect solution for broadcasters, URSA Broadcast G2 includes ENG camera controls positioned around the camera so you can locate them by feel. It also features a low light sensor so you get amazing images using natural light. That's the perfect combination for broadcast news and programming.

Live Studio Camera
URSA Broadcast includes an advanced YRGB color corrector built in and full remote camera control. You can use B4 ENG lenses, large studio box lenses, or even change the lens mount and use any lens! Plus the optional Blackmagic focus and zoom demands let you control the lens from the tripod handles.

Digital Cinema Camera
URSA Broadcast G2 includes an advanced 6K digital film sensor, and you can change the lens mount! Use a PL mount for digital film lenses or EF for photo lenses. Plus the high dynamic range, great low light performance and Blackmagic RAW means you get a true "Hollywood" quality digital film camera.

Compatible with B4 Broadcast Lenses
The URSA Broadcast G2 features a B4 broadcast lens mount that includes optics specifically designed to match the camera’s sensor. The B4 lens mount lets you use modern Ultra HD lenses or lower cost HD lenses. Older HD lenses often feature resolutions well beyond HD, so you get great quality at low cost! B4 lenses are fantastic because they are par-focal, so the image stays in focus as you zoom in and out, so you don't need to constantly chase focus as you shoot. That lets you work much faster! You also get full electronic lens control to adjust focus, iris and zoom using the camera’s controls, or remotely! Plus if you want to use alternative lenses, you can change the mount to PL, EF and more!

Built In Optical ND Filters
URSA Broadcast G2 features high quality neutral density (ND) filters that let you quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. The ¼, 1/16th and 1/64th stop filters have been specifically designed to match the image sensor and color science of URSA Broadcast G2, providing you with additional latitude and better colorimetry. This lets you use different combinations of aperture and shutter angle, in a wider range of situations. The IR filters have been designed to evenly filter both optical and IR wavelengths, eliminating IR contamination. Plus the filter status on the LCD can be displayed as a fraction, number, or stop reduction!

Use Common Media and File Formats!
URSA Broadcast is designed to work with standard file formats that are used by all broadcast systems and editing software. You can record in ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes 422 into QuickTime files. The new Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 model can even record into H.265 for incredibly small files at 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios, in 10-bit broadcast quality. Plus you can record to Blackmagic RAW files, a revolutionary new format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from the camera. That means you get the perfect range of file formats designed for all types of workflows.

Dual Media Slots for Non‑Stop Recording
With dual CFast 2.0 recorders and dual SD/UHS-II card recorders, you can choose the media that's best for you! Both types of media are standard, inexpensive and readily available at computer and camera stores. Plus with dual media slots, URSA Broadcast gives you non stop recording! When a card is full, recording automatically continues onto the next card so you can swap a full card while recording continues. You get enough speed to record high quality ProRes and H.265 video file formats, even when working in Ultra HD at high frame rates. That means URSA Broadcast G2 is easy to integrate into your existing broadcast systems. You can even record 12-bit Blackmagic RAW cinema files!

Built In SRT and RTMP Live Streaming
Now you can live stream to the world! Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 features a built hardware streaming engine that supports both RTMP and SRT streaming protocols so you can go live to YouTube, Facebook, X and more! For internet access, you have two options, one to connect a USB-C to Ethernet adapter or you can connect a 4G or 5G phone for mobile data! Plus if you want to create a wireless link back to the studio, then you can stream to a Blackmagic ATEM Streaming Bridge, which is an H.264 decoder that converts the video stream back to SDI video. Plus the ATEM Streaming Bridge can send full camera control, on air tally and even talkback audio back to the remote camera!

Connect 5G or 4G Phones for Mobile Data
When live streaming, you can connect and use an Apple or Android phone to get a connection to the internet via mobile data. Simply connect the phone to the rear mounted USB-C and Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 will configure for mobile data. Plus it works with the latest high speed 5G phones, as well as 4G phones! You can also connect via wired Ethernet by using a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. If you add the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast ENG Kit, then you also get a convenient holder for mounting the mobile phone to the side of the camera. With live streaming built into the camera, you get a truly global live ENG solution that uses common and easy to use mobile phone networks!

Standard Television Industry Connections
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 features the latest technology and connections such as 12G-SDI. This includes 12G-SDI connections for both video output and return program feed input. The 12G-SDI connections are multi rate and switch between all HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. Other connections include a headphone connection, USB-C, balanced XLR audio with phantom power, and timecode/reference input. There's also a front mounted 12 pin Hirose connector for broadcast lens control which can also power the lens. Plus for connecting a viewfinder or on set monitor there's even an HD-SDI monitoring output and a broadcast style 4 pin XLR 12V DC power output!

Supports All Broadcast Frame Rates
Whether you’re shooting a sporting event or a breaking news story, Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 can shoot super smooth, crystal clear slow motion video. To shoot slow motion video, URSA Broadcast supports the higher broadcast frame rates of 60 frames per second, but it can also record this high frame rate into a lower frame rate file, for smooth slow motion shooting. You can set up your preferred high speed frame rate using the camera’s on screen menus, then switch between standard sync speed and off speed frame rates using the HFR button on the side of the camera. That means you can have a higher frame rate setup and ready to go, so its instantly available when the action gets exciting!

Get Studio Camera Control via SDI
All Blackmagic Design ATEM switchers can control cameras via a protocol embedded into the URSA Broadcast G2's SDI video connections. Setup is easy because all ATEM switchers broadcast control commands from the switcher’s SDI program output to the camera via the SDI program input. The switcher can perform color correction, tally and lens control and these are sent to all cameras. All you need to do is select the correct camera number and it all works. This means someone can manage the image color and gain so the camera operator is not distracted trying to adjust their camera, and they are then free to focus on framing the shots.

Change to PL, EF and F Lens Mounts!
URSA Broadcast G2 features an interchangeable lens mount so you can easily swap the included B4 lens mount for an EF, PL or even F mount. URSA Broadcast G2 comes with a B4 mount already installed, plus a spare EF mount is included. That means if you’re starting out you can change the mount and use low cost photographic lenses. Photographic lenses are incredible quality because they're designed for high resolution photography. You can also purchase optional PL and F mounts separately. If you're shooting for digital film, the PL mount is best as it's the most common lens mount for cinema lenses. With URSA Broadcast G2, you get a single camera that works with virtually all modern lenses!

Incredible Blackmagic RAW Quality
Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary new format designed to capture and preserve the quality of the sensor data from your camera. Common video files have a lot of video processing, so you can lose some of the original sensor detail. Blackmagic RAW eliminates this problem so you get stunning images with incredible detail and rich color throughout the whole post production pipeline. Blackmagic RAW also saves camera settings as metadata so you can change ISO, white balance and exposure later in DaVinci Resolve. Plus the files are small and fast, so editing responsiveness is incredible. Only Blackmagic RAW gives you the highest quality, smallest files and fastest performance!

Built in Timecode Generator
All models of Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 have a built in time of day timecode generator, so you can sync all the cameras and then do multi-cam editing later because all the recordings will have the same timecode. Simply plug in an external timecode generator to the BNC timecode input and the camera will automatically detect timecode and lock the internal generator. Now each camera can start and stop recording and the shots from all cameras will have matched timecode. Imagine shooting a music festival with multiple cameras! Then the DaVinci Resolve sync bin can be used to automatically sync the recordings and display them in a multiview for easy editing.
