Introducing the World’s Most Advanced Digital Film Camera Blackmagic Mini Series URSA Mini Pro 12K

Blackmagic Mini Series Camera

The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K is a game-changing digital film camera that sets a new standard in the world of cinematography. With its advanced features and exceptional image quality, it truly revolutionizes the filmmaking experience.

Cinematic Super 35 12K Sensor

One of the fantastic features of the URSA Mini Pro 12K is its astonishing 12,288 x 6480 12K Super 35 sensor. This sensor, combined with 14 stops of dynamic range, delivers unparalleled detail and richness in every frame. The camera's 80 megapixels per frame ensure that you capture the most intricate details, rivaling even high-end still cameras.

Working with 12K footage may seem intimidating, but Blackmagic has made it a reality with its innovative approach. By oversampling from 12K, the Blackmagic Mini Series camera produces the best 8K and 4K images available on the market. The resulting footage boasts subtle skin tones and extraordinary detail, resembling the output of top-tier still cameras. This oversampling technique also eliminates aliasing, providing a simply breathtaking smoothness.

The URSA Mini Pro 12K's versatility is unmatched. It offers impressive frame rates across various resolutions, enabling you to shoot at 60 fps in 12K, 120 fps in 8K, and even up to 240 fps in 4K Super 16. This flexibility allows you to adapt to any shooting scenario, from slow-motion captures to fast-paced action sequences.

PL-Mount is Just another options

The camera's interchangeable PL mount is a noteworthy feature, as it provides compatibility with a wide range of vintage and modern cinema lenses. This means that you can explore different lenses to add character and detail to your shots, elevating the visual aesthetics of your projects.

In addition to its exceptional imaging capabilities, the URSA Mini Pro 12K also offers practical features that enhance your workflow. Built-in ND filters simplify exposure control, while dual CFast and UHS-II SD card recorders ensure reliable and convenient storage options. The SuperSpeed USB-C expansion port provides easy connectivity for data transfer, and the inclusion of DaVinci Resolve Studio allows for seamless post-production workflow, from editing to color grading and VFX.

Professional Filming Applications

This camera truly delivers a better-than-film experience, with an analog-style purity that brings a unique subtlety to your visuals.

The Blackmagic URSA Mini cameras have always been renowned for their exceptional image quality and professional features, and the URSA Mini Pro 12K takes it to a whole new level. This camera is a true powerhouse, offering an incredible 12K resolution and the flexibility to shoot in Blackmagic RAW, making it a game-changer for filmmakers and content creators.

With URSA Mini Pro 12K you can now seamlessly integrate the sensor and Blackmagic RAW. This combination allows for effortless 12-bit RAW workflows in 12K, making it possible to shoot in the highest quality and edit on a laptop. This level of efficiency is unparalleled and sets it apart from other codecs on the market. The camera's massive resolution opens up endless possibilities in post-production, allowing for reframing shots and delivering in 8K and 4K without any loss of detail.

RAW Fueled Image Capture

The Blackmagic RAW format itself is a revolution in image capture. It enables cinema-quality 12-bit, 80-megapixel images at up to 60 frames per second, providing unmatched detail and clarity. The inclusion of constant quality options such as Q0, Q5, Q1, and Q3 ensures that the compression adapts to match the point of the scene, while constant bitrate encodings options like 5:1, 8:1, 12:1, and the new 18:1 strike a balance between image quality and file size. With the ability to record RAW to two cards simultaneously, the URSA Mini Pro 12K offers flexibility and redundancy, even at high frame rates.

Virtual Cinema Production

Virtual production environments pose unique challenges, especially with modern lenses and high-resolution sensors. The URSA Mini Pro 12K addresses this with its optical low pass filter (OLPF), which minimizes interference patterns caused by LED video walls and results in a reduction of moire and aliasing. The OLPF is precisely matched to the 12K sensor and also incorporates updated IR filtering to improve far red color response. When combined with Blackmagic RAW processing, the result is exceptional image fidelity and color accuracy.

Optimized for Fast Flexible Post Production

In terms of post-production, the URSA Mini Pro 12K is optimized for fast and flexible workflows. Shooting in RAW at 12K ensures maximum control over detail, exposure, and color during the post-production process. The oversampling technique employed by the camera provides incredibly sharp 8K footage without harsh edges, and Blackmagic RAW is designed to accelerate the handling of 12K files, making it as convenient to work with as standard HD or Ultra HD files. The optimization extends to multi-threaded performance, leveraging multiple CPU cores and GPU acceleration with support for Apple Metal, CUDA, and OpenCL. This means you can work directly with your camera RAW files without the need for proxies, streamlining your post-production workflow.

Blackmagic Generation 5 Color Science

The Generation 5 Color Science is specifically designed to maximize the color data captured by the URSA Mini Pro 12K sensor. This new film curve ensures enhanced color response, resulting in more natural and pleasing skin tones. Additionally, highly saturated colors, such as neon signs and car tail lights in high-contrast scenes, are rendered with exceptional accuracy and vibrancy. The integration of Generation 5 Color Science with Blackmagic RAW image processing enables the preservation of color and dynamic range data, providing immense flexibility during post-production. Moreover, this new color science is backward compatible, allowing you to enhance your existing work even with previously shot Blackmagic RAW files.

The Blackmagic Mini Series cameras have always been at the forefront of innovation, and the latest generation, equipped with Generation 5 Color Science, takes image quality to new heights.
