00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.920
hey guys Brandon here so to give you some context for previous nabs

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.160
Blackmagic has managed to steal the show for the past four years with their

00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:11.519
camera announcements naturally this year was no different with the announcement

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:15.480
of the Ursa mini which is poised to be one of the most interesting cameras

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:17.759
announced at NAB 2015 this year let's check it

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:29.279
out lonus techtips coverage of NAB 2015

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:33.360
is powered by Sennheiser Kingston and linda.com the Ura mini seems to be the

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:36.760
result of Blackmagic finally taking feedback from Real World Shooters and

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:40.840
making a camera that is finally reasonably ergonomic starting with the

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:45.879
specs the Ursa mini now supports two main sensor options the older 4K sensor

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:51.719
from last year's Blackmagic Ursa release as well as a brand new impressive 4.6k

00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:55.640
sensor that claims 15 stops of dynamic range one of the most interesting things

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.440
about the sensor is that it has both a rolling and Global shutter with the

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:05.600
ability to shoot up to 30 FPS with the global shutter and 60 FPS with the

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:09.720
rolling shutter at 4.6k resolution if you are not in need of the 4.6k

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:15.159
resolution the camera will also shoot up to 160 FPS in regular 1080p moving on to

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

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:23.799
cinema standard PL Mount the Ura mini is also sporting a large 5-in touchcreen

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

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.520
it there is also buttons on the exterior of the monitor for easy access to

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.680
control like custom function keys and record for recording media Blackmagic

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.119
has chosen the new cast 2.0 standard of cards which at the moment are quite

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.799
pricey but with more cameras this year adapting the format I am hopeful that

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:47.159
the cost will come down soon the URS mini also comes with a surprisingly

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:50.439
solid remote hand grip that allows you to start and stop recording as well as

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:54.680
map other custom features to the other two buttons on the controller the evf

00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:59.240
attached is a $1,500 optional accessory that was actually surprisingly

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:01.640
impressive it's a 1920x 1080 OLED

00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:05.439
display that produced a very crisp image likely to be my favorite new feature of

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:08.520
this camera is the two built-in XLR ports in the top that are easily

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.200
adjusted with the audio dials on the side of the camera in camera audio is a

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.160
simple feature but very few cameras at this level do it well and with the

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:18.959
addition of the built-in microphone at the front to complement the xlrs the SS

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

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

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.239
four pin XLR power out with a 12vt main

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:38.280
power in a lcat controller for the remote hand grip and a 3.5 mm headphone

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:41.680
jack for monitoring audio with all these impressive specs and features Blackmagic

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.879
has managed to price the Ursa Mini at a very competitive

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.720
$4,995 for the 4.6k version with an

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.640
additional $500 for the pl Mount version and having the older sensor version

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.360
coming in at even lower prices than that as someone who has been using Blackmagic

00:02:55.239 --> 00:03:00.800
cameras for the last 2 years I excited to see Blackmagic truly take the first

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:04.519
steps to a well-rounded production camera that could suit many shooting

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:07.440
situations that their previous cameras may not have been perfect for thank you
