The Blackmagic Live Fiber Camera Channel Bundle is a fully integrated broadcast solution engineered for high-end studio and remote production workflows. At its core is the URSA Broadcast G2, a versatile 3-in-1 camera that functions as a 4K broadcast camera, a 4K studio camera, and a 6K digital film camera. Its advanced Super 35mm sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to +36dB delivers exceptional low-light performance and cinematic image quality. The camera supports Blackmagic RAW, ProRes, and H.265 formats, and records to dual CFast 2.0, SD UHS-II cards, or external USB-C drives.
The URSA Studio Viewfinder G2 transforms the camera into a true studio powerhouse. Featuring a large 7-inch high-brightness display with adjustable tilt and pan, grip handles, and physical controls for brightness, contrast, and focus peaking, it provides precise monitoring and ergonomic control. The integrated tally light system and V-Lock mount ensure seamless integration into professional studio setups.
The Focus Demand and Zoom Demand units bring fingertip lens control to the studio floor. Mounted directly to tripod handles, they allow precise remote operation of B4 lenses without touching the camera. The Zoom Demand includes programmable buttons for triggering camera functions, streamlining live production workflows.
The Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter and Studio Fiber Converter extend the camera’s capabilities with SMPTE fiber connectivity, enabling remote control, talkback, tally, and power over distances up to 2 kilometers. This setup allows full camera operation from the control room, making it ideal for multi-camera live events, concerts, and studio productions. The fiber converters integrate seamlessly with ATEM switchers and support advanced workflows including shading, tally, and camera control via a single cable.
Together, this bundle delivers a robust, scalable, and future-proof broadcast system that supports everything from local studio shoots to remote multicam productions. It’s the ultimate solution for broadcasters seeking uncompromising image quality, ergonomic control, and long-distance connectivity.
