NOTE If your recordings are dropping frames, check that your card is on our list

of recommended media for the codec and frame size you are using. For lower data

rates try lowering your frame rate, resolution, or try a compressed codec such as

ProRes. Check the Blackmagic Design website for the latest information at

Recording

Recording Clips

B4 broadcast lenses typically have a record button positioned on the lens handle where your

thumb would be when shooting from the shoulder. Simply press the record button on the

handle to start recording. Press again to stop recording.

Your camera has record buttons built into the camera itself. A record button is located on the

inside control panel, and on the forward control panel for convenient access when shooting

from the shoulder.

Triggering Record from External Sources

Using the ‘Blackmagic Camera Control’ app you can trigger recording remotely and adjust

various camera settings via Bluetooth from your iPad. For more information on setting up and

using the ‘Blackmagic Camera Control’ app refer to the ‘Bluetooth’ section later in this manual.

If you are using an iPhone or Android smart phone there are also third party apps available that

let you trigger recording on your URSA Broadcast G2 via Bluetooth.

If you are using an optional Blackmagic Zoom Demand with your URSA Broadcast G2, you can

trigger record using the function button. The function button on Blackmagic Zoom Demand sits

under your thumb like the VTR button on a B4 lens. For more information on Blackmagic Zoom

Demand, refer to the ‘using Blackmagic Zoom Demand’ section later in this manual.

When your Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 is connected to an ATEM Mini Pro or Extreme

model switcher via a Blackmagic Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G, you can trigger

recording from the ATEM switcher.

For example, the ‘record stream’ palette in ATEM Software Control has a checkbox labeled ‘record

in all cameras’. When this checkbox is enabled and you click or press record, all connected

cameras will start recording as well. This means you only have to click or press one button to start

recording on all cameras simultaneously. Refer to the ATEM Mini manual for more information.

Another option for starting and stopping record is to attach an external LANC controller to your

URSA Broadcast G2’s LANC input and trigger the record externally. For example, you may want

to attach a LANC controller to your tripod so you can trigger the recording without taking your

hands off the focus ring and tripod handle.

You can also trigger record on one or more URSA Broadcast G2 cameras using a Blackmagic 3G-SDI

Shield for Arduino and the Blackmagic SDI Camera Control protocol. Formore information, see

the ‘Developer Information’ section of this manual or visit www.blackmagicdesign.com/developer

and download the manual for Blackmagic 3G-SDIShield for Arduino.
