Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 12K LF Digital Film Camera and Cine EVF Kit

Experience uncompromising cinematic performance with the Blackmagic URSA Cine, a professional large-format digital cinema camera engineered for feature films, premium television, commercial production, and virtual production. Combining an advanced imaging system with a rugged production-ready design, the Blackmagic URSA Cine delivers exceptional image quality, creative flexibility, and the professional connectivity demanded by modern filmmakers.

At the heart of the camera is a large-format 35.64 x 23.32mm sensor capable of capturing breathtaking footage with an impressive 16-stop dynamic range. This allows the Blackmagic URSA Cine to preserve remarkable detail in both highlights and shadows, giving cinematographers greater freedom during colour grading while achieving stunning cinematic results.

Designed to support a wide variety of production requirements, the camera records in multiple resolutions, including 12K, 9K, 8K, and 4K, while offering high-speed frame rates of up to 120 fps in 12K and 224 fps in 4K for beautifully detailed slow-motion footage. This versatility enables creators to tailor recording formats to suit feature films, visual effects, commercials, documentaries, and high-end broadcast productions.

The interchangeable ARRI PL lens mount can be swapped for an optional lockable Canon EF mount, providing compatibility with a broad range of professional cinema and photographic lenses while supporting active lens control with compatible EF lenses. Built-in motorised ND filters make exposure adjustments fast and effortless, helping maintain optimal image quality and cinematic depth of field in changing lighting conditions.

For confident operation on set, the Blackmagic URSA Cine features a bright 5-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen alongside a dedicated camera status display, providing quick access to camera settings and real-time monitoring. A highly accurate internal timecode clock and comprehensive metadata support help streamline multi-camera productions and simplify post-production by automatically recording key camera information.

Built to withstand the demands of professional filmmaking, the camera combines a magnesium alloy chassis with a lightweight carbon fibre polycarbonate exterior, delivering exceptional durability without unnecessary weight. With flexible aspect ratios, broad lens compatibility, multiple recording formats, and a production-ready design, the Blackmagic URSA Cine provides a powerful, future-ready platform for creators who demand the highest levels of image quality, reliability, and workflow efficiency.
