NOTE Your camera’s project frame rate has a large impact on the ‘look’ of footage.

Inbroadcast environments, frame rates are typically set to 50, 59.94, or 60 frames per

second. These relatively high frame rates are great for capturing smooth motion and

eliminate or minimize stutter while panning.

Lower frame rates, such as 24 or 25 frames per second, are typically used for cinema

production. These have a distinct filmic ‘look,’ but require much slower camera

movement to avoid stutter.

Off Speed Recording

By default, your URSA Broadcast G2’s project and sensor frame rates are matched for a natural

playback speed. However, by tapping the ‘off speed recording’ switch icon you can set your

sensor frame rate independently. This option is only available when recording to Blackmagic

RAW or ProRes codecs.

Off Speed Frame Rate

With ‘off speed frame rate’ enabled, tap the arrows next to the ‘off speed frame rate’ indicator

toset your URSA Broadcast G2’s sensor frame rate.

The sensor frame rate sets how many actual frames from the sensor are recorded every second.

This frame rate will affect how fast or slow your video will play back at your set project frame rate.

For more information on off speed frame rates, see the ‘frames per second’ section in the

‘touchscreen features’ section of this manual.

NOTE For information on the maximum frame rates available for each recording format

and codec, refer to the ‘maximum sensor frame rates’ table in the ‘recording’ section of

this manual.

Preferred Media for Recording

Use this setting to select which storage card, SSD or flash disk your URSA Broadcast G2 will

record to first when more than one storage slot is in use. The options are ‘card 1’, ‘card 2’, ‘USB’

and ‘fullest’. Picking either ‘card 1’ or ‘card 2,’ isa matter of personal preference, but using either

consistently will let you know which card to swap out first as your storage fills up. ‘Fullest card’

can help group files chronologically when shooting a single camera project. The ‘fullest card’

setting is based on the percentage that your storage cards are filled, rather than their sizes or

the amount of data used.

The setting you choose is applied when a CFast card, SD card or SSD is inserted or when a

USB flash disk is connected. You can override this setting at any time by entering the storage

manager and setting a different card as ‘active.’ It’s important to note, however, that ejecting

and reinserting cards will revert to the current ‘preferred media for recording’ setting.

Record RAW on

Recording Blackmagic RAW on two cards lets you record extremely high resolution clips at high

frame rates with lower levels of compression. Insert a pair of CFast or SD Cards and choose the

‘2 cards’ option. Since this relies on striping across both cards sequentially, the data rate of the

slowest card will be the limiting factor, so you are advised to use two cards of the same or

similar specification.

You can also stripe between a CFast card in storage slot 1 or 2 and a USB-C flash disk in

storage slot 3.. When you use the ‘2 cards’ option, the speed limit is twice the data rate of the

slowest card in the striped array.
