You can create your own hardware controller and plug it into your Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield for Arduino for more interactive and refined control.
NOTE If you toggle the ‘storage media selection’ switch mid-recording, the camera
will complete the current recording before switching to the other type of media. This
ensures that you can not damage your recording if the switch is adjusted during a take.
Choosing the Codec, Resolution and Sensor Area
Your Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 can record using Blackmagic RAW with either a constant
quality or constant bitrate setting. You can also use Apple ProRes, H.264 or H.265 compressed
video codecs for recording in Ultra HD and HD resolutions. Sensor frame rate options will vary
depending on the codec and resolution you choose.
Blackmagic RAW lets you use either a constant quality or constant bitrate compression.
Blackmagic RAW 8:1, 12:1, Q3 or Q5 compression is recommended for ENG style shooting as
its high compression offers long recording times with minimal visual reduction of image quality.
For shots that contain a large amount of fine detail you can choose Blackmagic RAW 3:1 or Q0
for the highest level of image quality.
It’s worth noting that clips recorded using Blackmagic RAW are compatible with DaVinci
Resolve, Blackmagic RAW Player and other applications that support Blackmagic RAW SDK.
Blackmagic RAW has already been adopted by many post production platforms. It may not
be supported natively in all editing software but most work with the plugins provided in our
Camera Update and Blackmagic RAW installer. For more information, see the ‘Working with
Third Party Software’ section.
