The Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 is a highly versatile professional camera designed to adapt seamlessly between broadcast, studio, and cinematic production environments. Built for demanding workflows, it combines the familiar ergonomics of a traditional shoulder-mounted broadcast camera with the advanced imaging capabilities of modern digital cinema systems. This makes it an ideal choice for rental applications where flexibility and reliability are essential.
At its core, the system features a powerful sensor and image processing engine capable of delivering exceptional image quality across a wide range of formats and resolutions. It supports high dynamic range capture, ensuring rich detail in both highlights and shadows, while maintaining natural colour reproduction. With compatibility for both B4 broadcast lenses and EF or PL cinema lenses via interchangeable mounts, it can quickly transition between live television production and narrative filmmaking setups.
Designed for professional operation, the camera includes built-in ND filters, dual gain ISO performance, and extensive connectivity options. Integrated SDI outputs, XLR audio inputs, and timecode support ensure smooth integration into broadcast chains, OB vans, or multi-camera studio environments. The large status display and intuitive controls allow operators to make rapid adjustments in fast-paced scenarios, while the shoulder-mount design ensures comfortable handheld use during extended shoots.
Recording is equally flexible, supporting Blackmagic RAW for high-end post production and ProRes formats for immediate broadcast delivery. Dual media slots enable continuous recording, adding redundancy and reliability during live events or critical productions. The camera’s ability to switch between UHD, HD, and various broadcast standards makes it exceptionally adaptable for different regional requirements.
With its combination of broadcast functionality and cinematic performance, this system is a go-to solution for live productions, ENG, sports coverage, and hybrid event environments where quality and efficiency are paramount.
