Dynamic Range
Adjust the ‘dynamic range’ setting by tapping the dynamic range icons. Blackmagic URSA
Broadcast G2 has three dynamic range settings:
Video The ‘video’ setting is the best choice for recording to a high contrast,
saturated look suitable for direct delivery or minimal post processing.
Video uses Rec.709 primaries with a pleasing roll off in the highlights.
This is a good option if you want an accurate starting point that still has
a pleasing gamma curve with room for grading if needed.
Ext Video The ‘extended video’ setting is based on Blackmagic Wide Gamut with
contrast and saturation applied. The most notable differences to the video
mode come from the magenta/green axis having less saturation which is
more typical of print film.
Film The ‘film’ setting shoots video using a log curve that allows you to maintain
the greatest dynamic range and maximizes the information in your video
signal to help you get the most out of color grading software, such as
DaVinci Resolve.
If you are using ‘video’ or ‘extended video’ dynamic range, make sure that display LUT is not
enabled on any of the monitor outputs, LCD, Front SDI or Main SDI.
If the display LUT is enabled, the LUT indicator will be visible on the HUD and the image
appears to have more saturation and contrast than intended. To check your display LUTs
setting, see the ‘monitor’ settings later in this manual.
Sensor Area
This setting is available when shooting in ProRes, H.265 and H.264 video codecs. It lets you
choose between scaling from the full ‘6K’ sensor area, or using a smaller ‘window’ of the sensor
area. Choosing a larger sensor area like 5.3K or 6K gives you a wider field of view whereas
choosing a smaller sensor area like 2.7K gives you higher frame rate options. It’s important to
mention that windowing to a smaller area only uses the center of the camera’s sensor, the field
of view of any given lens will be narrower due to the crop involved.
When using broadcast lenses on URSA Broadcast G2’s B4 mount you should ensure that your
sensor area is set to 4K as this is the area of the frame that these lenses will cover. The 5.3K and 6K
sensor area is roughly Super 35 size and so is compatible with most EF, F mount and PL lenses.
For more information on ‘full’ and ‘window’ formats, see the ‘maximum sensor frame rates’ section.
Project Frame Rate
The project frame rate is URSA Broadcast G2’s recording format frame rate and provides a
selection of common frame rates used in the film and television industry. For example, Ultra HD at
29.97 frames per second using ProRes HQ. This frame rate is normally set to match your playback
speed and audio sync used in your post production workflow and delivery requirements.
Your Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 has 8 project frame rate settings including 23.98, 24, 25,
29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60 frames per second.
