00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,920
hey guys Brandon here so to give you some context for previous nabs

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,160
Blackmagic has managed to steal the show for the past four years with their

3
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:11,519
camera announcements naturally this year was no different with the announcement

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,480
of the Ursa mini which is poised to be one of the most interesting cameras

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,759
announced at NAB 2015 this year let's check it

6
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:29,279
out lonus techtips coverage of NAB 2015

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:33,360
is powered by Sennheiser Kingston and linda.com the Ura mini seems to be the

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,760
result of Blackmagic finally taking feedback from Real World Shooters and

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,840
making a camera that is finally reasonably ergonomic starting with the

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,879
specs the Ursa mini now supports two main sensor options the older 4K sensor

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:51,719
from last year's Blackmagic Ursa release as well as a brand new impressive 4.6k

12
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:55,640
sensor that claims 15 stops of dynamic range one of the most interesting things

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,440
about the sensor is that it has both a rolling and Global shutter with the

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,600
ability to shoot up to 30 FPS with the global shutter and 60 FPS with the

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:09,720
rolling shutter at 4.6k resolution if you are not in need of the 4.6k

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:15,159
resolution the camera will also shoot up to 160 FPS in regular 1080p moving on to

17
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:20,240
the physical features of the camera you can get it with either a Canon EF or a

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,799
cinema standard PL Mount the Ura mini is also sporting a large 5-in touchcreen

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,799
that nearly makes up one side of the camera however if you do not want to use

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,520
it there is also buttons on the exterior of the monitor for easy access to

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,680
control like custom function keys and record for recording media Blackmagic

22
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,119
has chosen the new cast 2.0 standard of cards which at the moment are quite

23
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:43,799
pricey but with more cameras this year adapting the format I am hopeful that

24
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,159
the cost will come down soon the URS mini also comes with a surprisingly

25
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:50,439
solid remote hand grip that allows you to start and stop recording as well as

26
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:54,680
map other custom features to the other two buttons on the controller the evf

27
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:59,240
attached is a $1,500 optional accessory that was actually surprisingly

28
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:01,640
impressive it's a 1920x 1080 OLED

29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:05,439
display that produced a very crisp image likely to be my favorite new feature of

30
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:08,520
this camera is the two built-in XLR ports in the top that are easily

31
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,200
adjusted with the audio dials on the side of the camera in camera audio is a

32
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,160
simple feature but very few cameras at this level do it well and with the

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,959
addition of the built-in microphone at the front to complement the xlrs the SS

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:24,120
mini finally looks like a camera that you can take out of the box and just start shooting with lastly in terms of

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:30,840
the rest of the I/O on the camera it has two SDI out reference in time codee in a

36
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,239
four pin XLR power out with a 12vt main

37
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,280
power in a lcat controller for the remote hand grip and a 3.5 mm headphone

38
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:41,680
jack for monitoring audio with all these impressive specs and features Blackmagic

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,879
has managed to price the Ursa Mini at a very competitive

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,720
$4,995 for the 4.6k version with an

41
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,640
additional $500 for the pl Mount version and having the older sensor version

42
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,360
coming in at even lower prices than that as someone who has been using Blackmagic

43
00:02:55,239 --> 00:03:00,800
cameras for the last 2 years I excited to see Blackmagic truly take the first

44
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,519
steps to a well-rounded production camera that could suit many shooting

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,440
situations that their previous cameras may not have been perfect for thank you
