22 12G-SDI In
The 12G-SDI input is used for connecting to a switcher or external recorder. This means
if you’re using URSABroadcast G2 in a live broadcast, you can plug in the switcher’s
program output and monitor it during the shoot, or check playback from an external
recorder. Press and hold the program button to see your program feed.
For more information, refer to the ‘Ergonomic Control Panel’ section in this manual.
You can also use an ATEM switcher’s ‘camera control’ feature to remotely adjust many
URSABroadcastG2 functions. See the section ‘Understanding Studio Camera Control’
for moreinformation. Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino can also be used to
provide custom control of the camera over SDI.
To receive tally and talkback via the SDI input, make sure you have set your ATEM Camera ID
in the camera’s setup menu. If you want to use the SDI input to receive an external reference
signal, you will need to select ‘program’ as your reference source in the setup settings. ‘REF’
will appear next to the timecode display on your camera’s LCDscreen when the external
reference is locked. Refer to the ‘setup settings’ in the manual for more information.
On URSA Broadcast G2 the SDI Input can be used for feeding external timecode to the
camera as well. This will lock to the incoming timecode automatically if the frame rate
ofthe incoming SDI signal matches and has valid timecode. The ‘EXT’ logo will appear
on URSA Broadcast G2’s LCD when external timecode is locked. If you unplug the
cable timecode will remain jammed and the logo will switch to ‘INT’ to let you know it is
now running from URSA Broadcast G2’s internal timecode clock.
23 Reference and Timecode In
This input automatically recognizes and switches between timecode and reference
input signals. Synchronize Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 to a common reference
signal, such as tri-level sync, by connecting to the ‘reference’ BNC input marked ‘REF
In’. It’s worth noting that to use a reference signal through this input, you must set your
reference source to ‘external’ in your URSA Broadcast G2’s setup menu.
Alternatively you can use this connector to match an external timecode source to sync
up multiple cameras, or audio and picture when shooting dual-system. This ensures
audio and picture, or video from multiple cameras, can be easily synchronized during
post production. When external timecode with a matching frame rate is plugged into
this connector the camera will lock to the incoming timecode automatically. The ‘EXT’
logo will appear on URSA Broadcast G2’s LCD when external timecode is locked. If you
unplug the cable, timecode will remain jammed and the logo will switch to ‘INT’ to let
you know it is now running from URSA Broadcast G2’s internal timecode clock.
You can also set your camera to use the reference signal from an ATEM switcher via
the Program SDI Input. This is helpful when working with ATEM switchers because all
cameras can receive program return, camera control and be referenced together using
a single SDI signal. See the ‘setup settings’ section in this manual for more information.
24 12V+ Power Input
Use the 4 pin 12-18 Volt DC XLR connector to plug in power from external sources such
as the supplied power adapter, or portable batteries.
25 USB Port
USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1 port for recording to an external flash disk or to an SSD using
Blackmagic URSA Mini Recorder. Also used for connecting Blackmagic Zoom and
Focus Demand to your camera for focus and zoom control with compatible lenses.
The threaded connector under the USB-C port works with the locking USB cable
supplied with URSA Mini Recorder to maintain a secure connection during use.
Formore information refer to the ‘URSA Mini Recorder’ section in this manual.
