15 Control and Playback Buttons
URSA Broadcast G2 control and playback buttons
Iris
The ‘iris’ button activates the automatic aperture setting on compatible lenses. When
using video dynamic range settings, a single press of the iris button will set an average
exposure based on the highlights or shadows in your shot. When using film dynamic
range settings, pressing the iris button sets your exposure to the brightest highlight in
your shot. This button works with compatible EF lenses and PLlenses connected with
acompatible broadcast lens controller.
To set your aperture manually, press the forward and reverse skip transport buttons.
Focus
When using a B4 or EF lens that supports electronic focus adjustments, press the
‘focus’ button to activate auto focus. A white focus square will appear on any viewfinder
or monitor connected to your URSA Broadcast G2. Anything within the square will be
correctly focused. When the lens is focused, the square will disappear.
NOTE To use the ‘focus’ button, your B4 lens must have servo focus control,
with the servo activated. See the ‘getting started’ section for more information.
Some EF lenses have both manual and auto focus modes. If using the optional
EF lens mount, in order for URSA Broadcast G2 to be able to auto focus with
your lens, you need to ensure that your lens is set to auto focus mode.
Program
The program button is marked PGM and lets you switch the LCD and front SDI output
between the camera view and any signal plugged into the 12G-SDI input on the rear
panel. This means if you’re using the camera in a live broadcast, you can plug in the
switcher’s program output and monitor it during the shoot. Press and hold the program
button to see your program feed. The program feed will continue to display whilst the
program button is being held.
If you want to lock the LCD and front SDI output to display the program input feed, then
double press the program button to lock to the program feed. Pressing the program
button again will exit the program feed and return to the camera view.
Playback Control Buttons
The playback buttons let you start and stop playback, plus skip to the next or previous
clip. When using an EF lens, the forward and reverse skip buttons can also be used to
open or close the iris when using compatible lenses. Refer to the ‘playback’ section for
more information on how to use the playback buttons.
