Getting Started
Getting started with your Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 is as simple as mounting a lens and
powering your camera.
Attaching a Lens
Your URSA Broadcast G2 comes fitted with a B4 lens mount for HD and Ultra HD broadcast
lenses. An additional EF mount is included so you can also use stills lenses, other compact-
zoom or EF cine lenses. For instructions on switching lens mount types, refer to the
‘Interchangeable lens mount’ section later in this manual.
URSA Broadcast G2’s B4 mount features optics specifically designed to work with your
camera’s sensor to produce the same field of view and depth of field as traditional broadcast
cameras with 2/3" sensors. This means that if you already have a broadcast background,
you can be comfortable mounting your existing B4 lenses to URSA Broadcast G2 and shoot
confidently.
To remove the protective dust cap from the camera, rotate the outer locking ring
counterclockwise and pull the dust cap away from the mount.
To attach a B4 mount lens:
Rotate the locking ring clockwise to secure the lens to the camera
1 Turn the B4 lens locking ring counterclockwise to reveal the alignment slot inside the
top of the mount. Align the B4 lens to your URSA Broadcast G2’s B4 mount so the
alignment pin on the lens matches the position of the alignment slot.
2 Hold the lens against the B4 mount so the mount plates are against each other and
make sure the alignment pin is secured inside the alignment slot.
3 Turn the locking ring clockwise to tighten the lens against the mount and lock it
into position.
4 To power the lens and provide lens control, simply plug the lens cable into the
connector marked ‘Lens’ on the front of your URSA Broadcast G2’s turret. Most B4
lenses will have the 12 pin lens connector and cable built in. This will provide power
and control signals from your URSA Broadcast G2 to the lens.
