Overview
The Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K features a 12K (12,288 x 6480) Super35 sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range and a native ISO of 800. The new 12K sensor has equal amounts of red, green, and blue pixels and is optimized for images at multiple resolutions. You can shoot 12K at 60 fps or use in-sensor scaling to allow 8K or 4K RAW at up to 110 fps without cropping or changing your field of view.
The combination of 80 megapixels per frame, new color science, and the flexibility of Blackmagic RAW makes working with 12K a reality. Oversampling from 12K gives you the best 8K and 4K images with the subtle skin tones and extraordinary detail of high end still cameras. You can shoot at 60 fps in 12K, 110 fps in 8K, and up to 220 fps in 4K Super 16. URSA Mini Pro 12K features an interchangeable PL lens mount, letting you choose from the widest range of vintage and modern cinema lenses, so you can capture every ounce of character and detail from your favorite optics. It also features integrated ND filters, dual CFast and UHS‑II SD card recorders, a SuperSpeed USB‑C expansion port, and more. DaVinci Resolve Studio is included for creative control through post-production.
The URSA Mini Pro 12K sensor and Blackmagic RAW were designed together to make 12 bit RAW workflows in 12K effortless. As an incredibly efficient next generation codec, Blackmagic RAW lets you shoot 12K and edit on a laptop, a capability that simply isn't possible with other codecs. The massive resolution of the sensor means you can reframe shots in post for delivery in 8K and 4K. It's almost like a multi-camera shoot with only one camera, and is also ideal for great looking vertical and square video, too. The advanced design of the sensor and Blackmagic RAW means that you can work in any resolution in post production instantly, without rendering, while retaining the full sensor's color accuracy.
Shooting RAW in 12K preserves the deepest control of detail, exposure and color during post. Oversampling means you get extremely sharp 8K without harsh edges. Best of all, Blackmagic RAW is designed to accelerate 12K for post production, making it as easy to work with as standard HD or Ultra HD files. It is highly optimized, multi‑threaded, works across multiple CPU cores and is also GPU accelerated to work with Apple Metal, CUDA and OpenCL. You can work with your camera RAW files without having to make proxies. Blackmagic RAW 12K images provide unprecedented resolution and quality for color, keying, compositing, reframing, stabilization and tracking in 4K or 8K.
