🚨 We now offer the groundbreaking URSA Cine 12K film camera from Blackmagic Design!

Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K is a revolutionary digital film camera that brings advanced technology with full integration into post-production workflows. It features a new 36 x 24 mm large format RGBW sensor with larger photosensors for 16 EV dynamic range, interchangeable PL, LPL, and EF lens mounts, and standard Lemo and Fischer connectors. Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K comes with 8 TB of high-performance storage and also includes a high-speed network for media recording and synchronization with Blackmagic Cloud. A kit including an EVF viewfinder is also available.

Blackmagic Design today released Blackmagic Video Assist 3.21, an update that adds support for recording to Blackmagic RAW format from the Panasonic Lumix S1RII camera on Video Assist 5" and 7" 12G HDR devices. When recording in Blackmagic RAW format using Video Assist 12G HDR, camera settings can now also be saved to metadata. This means that white balance and exposure are encoded directly into the file and can be loaded in DaVinci Resolve. However, these settings can be manually adjusted later in the RAW settings panel during color correction.

The Blackmagic Video Assist 3.21 update is now available as a free download here.

Blackmagic has released a new update for their Blackmagic Camera app. The new version 9.5.1 adds enhancements for 65mm open gate recording on the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 camera. In addition, clip playback has been improved, including better 1st AC focus response on all Blackmagic URSA Cine cameras, making it easier to focus using i/Data-enabled smart Cine lenses.

Blackmagic Design has released an update for the Blackmagic Camera app for Android. Version 2.1 adds support for remote control of Blackmagic PYXIS and Blackmagic URSA Cine cameras. This means you can now place the camera in a location that is not easily accessible and remotely monitor and control settings such as focus, white balance, frame rate or shutter angle. In addition, you can start and stop recording on a connected PYXIS or URSA Cine camera, which is ideal for multi-camera shooting.

This update also adds audio to off speed recordings, allowing you to play back audio in slow motion or sped up along with the image. Blackmagic Camera is also now compatible with motorized gimbals and stands, making it easier to track objects and people in the frame. When mounted, the camera tracks your movement, which is great for video presentations. The update also adds zebra for the mid grey area and support for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra grip. Additionally, frame rate and resolution compatibility has been improved for Samsung, Sony and Xiaomi models.
