BlackMagic Designs has announced a new like of 4K upgradeable cameras called URSA. It starts at $5995 for an EF mount or $6495 for a PL Mount version. There will also be a broadcast version and one without a sensor and just an HDMI in for recording.
This is an impressive looking camera, especially with the 10″ fold out viewfinder and dual touch screens for control. With this Black Magic is going all out with it’s cameras and making a really impressive high end camera to take on RED, and yet be cheaper.
You can download the light version for free at Blackmagic. And here is the Press release.
This adds support for Final Cut Pro X 10.1. It has support for aligning multiple camera takes so you can quickly switch between takes.
And full owners get enhanced 3D stereoscopic tools.
Nonlinear has a post on a post from Grant Petty the CEO of BlackMagic saying that the full version of DaVinci 10 will support the Dual AMD GPU’s of the new MacPros. And Premiere Pro already supports AMD Firepros, and hopefully will soon support the duals of the new MacPro.
I will still rather see Dual NVIDIA GPU support, as CUDA would likely be faster, but this could make the MacPro a viable alternative to the current MacPro without the expansion. Still want to see some speed tests though as I would like to see Premiere Pro rocking Dual Titans!
I would love one, though since I have all Canon EF and EF-S lenses this camera is pretty useless to me even at under $1000. I would do better with the 4K or normal Blackmagic camera.
I didn’t see this covered anyplace else, but Definition Magazine has an article on it. And you can check it out at Blackmagic Designs web site. $1995 for the currently available 2D version and $3995 for the soon to be released 3D version.
Amazing that you can get the best quality conversion for this cheap now, and it includes the video scopes software from Blackmagic as well.
I love what Blackmagic is doing. Doing amazing things for low prices, and really changing the face of the video market!
John Brawley has an excellent hands on with the new Blackmagic Pocket Camera. And info on the 4K. Sounds like an impressive little camera, though with a little rolling shutter issues, that the 4K should fix.
Amazing that Blackmagic has become such an impressive camera company in such a short period of time! And $1000 plus lenses is a steal for a 1080 camera!
Creative Cow has the press release, and it is already up at Blackmagic’s web site, though the download is not up yet.
It now has editing features, better color correction including support for OpenFX Plug Ins.
It will be available in Quarter 3 for free in the lite version.
