Locking and Unlocking SD Cards
SD cards can be write protected, or ‘locked’, to prevent data from being overwritten.
When inserting an SD card, make sure the card is not write protected. Write protection is
disabled by moving the plastic switch on the left side of the card to the position closest to
theconnectors. After recording, you can then write protect the card by sliding the switch
backdown to the bottom position.
Move the lock tab up or down
to lock or unlock an SD card
Your URSA Broadcast G2 will let you know if you’ve inserted a locked SD card by displaying a
‘locked’ icon on the LCD touchscreen and storage menu. If the card is locked, you won’t be able
to record video, capture stills, or export LUTs and presets until it is unlocked.
Your URSA Broadcast G2 will indicate when locked SD storage media is inserted
Recording to USB-C flash disks
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 features two USB-C ports. The USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port on the
side near the CFast card slots is for software updates. The port on the rear panel near the SDI
connectors is for recording to high speed SSDs and USB-C flash disks via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1.
These fast, high capacity drives allow you to record video for longer periods, which can be
important when filming events with long durations.
When a USB-C flash disk is connected to your camera, it occupies the third media slot in your
camera’s operating system. Tapping the drive name in the storage menu sets it as the active
drive. This means that recording, playback and storage management is exactly the same for
USB-C flash disks as it is for CFast, SD cards and SSDs.
Once you have finished recording you can connect the same drive directly to your computer
for editing and post production without having to copy media across.
