New 17K Sensor
The URSA Cine 17K 65 packs a brand-new 65mm sensor built for stunning images at any resolution, from 4K all the way up to a jaw-dropping 17K. This larger sensor expands on the tech behind the URSA Mini Pro 12K, delivering 16 stops of dynamic range. Thanks to its RGBW design, you get equal amounts of red, green, and blue pixels for beautifully rich colors at every resolution.

Storage Options
The Blackmagic Media Dock helps speed up your post-production by letting you instantly start editing and color grading. You can mount up to three Blackmagic Media Modules at once for fast access to footage from multiple URSA Cine cameras. Out of the box, the URSA Cine 17K records to an included 8TB Blackmagic Media Module, giving you over four hours of Blackmagic RAW at 17K using the full 65mm sensor, or up to 20 hours at 4K. If you prefer, there’s also an optional Blackmagic Media Module CF with dual CFexpress slots.

Built-In Cloud Storage
With its integrated ultrafast Cloud Store, the URSA Cine 17K can record massive files for hours while giving you direct, high-speed access over 10G Ethernet. The camera can also create a small H.264 proxy alongside the master footage and upload it to Blackmagic Cloud in seconds, so your team back at the studio has instant access.

Lens Options
The camera features a user-swappable lens mount, supporting PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad options. It comes pre-installed with a PL mount, and each mount includes contact pins to pass lens metadata through to your monitoring and post tools.

Built-In OLPF
A precision optical low-pass filter is matched to the sensor to reduce moiré and aliasing. It also includes updated IR filtering that improves far-red color accuracy. Paired with Blackmagic RAW, it helps preserve color and fine details for the highest image fidelity.

Blackmagic RAW Capture
Blackmagic RAW captures the sensor data in a format that protects its full quality. These files include all camera metadata, lens data, white balance, digital slate info, and LUTs for a consistent look from set through post. Using the included 8TB media module, you can record over four hours of Blackmagic RAW in 17K or up to 20 hours in 4K.

Monitoring Options
URSA Cine 17K comes with a large fold-out 5" HDR touchscreen on one side, plus a second 5" HDR touchscreen for assistants to work around the camera without needing extra monitors. There’s an external status LCD as well, and a dedicated focus puller mode to nail critical focus. You can also add the optional URSA Cine EVF for comfortable handheld or outdoor shooting.

Accessory and Control Ports
On the front of the camera, 7-pin LEMO and 3-pin Fischer connectors provide 24V power and record triggers, perfect for powering or syncing accessories like focus motors.

Wireless Bluetooth Control
Need remote control? You can fully operate the camera from up to 30 feet away via Bluetooth, using the Blackmagic Camera Control app on iPad or third-party apps like Bluetooth+ or tRigger on iOS and Android. Developers can also grab the free SDK and sample code from Blackmagic to build their own custom control solutions.

Post-Production Workflows
URSA Cine 17K supports three ways to handle your footage after the shoot:

• Record directly to the internal Blackmagic Media Module

• Browse your media offline and upload only selected clips later

• Live Sync your DaVinci Resolve project with Blackmagic Cloud so footage uploads and syncs in real time as you record

Streaming Options
You can stream live straight from the camera thanks to its built-in streaming engine. It supports RTMP and SRT for sending your feed to major platforms or directly to clients, over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or even 4G/5G mobile data.

Ample Power
The camera’s 8-pin LEMO connector on the rear supports 24V and 12V supplies, making it easy to integrate with your existing power setups. Optional 250W power supplies and B-mount battery plates let you pair it with batteries from brands like IDX, Blueshape, Core SWX, and BEBOB. There’s also a 12V 2-pin LEMO output to power smaller accessories.

Versatile Body Design
URSA Cine’s chassis is evenly balanced and built from a tough magnesium alloy with lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite panels, so it stays rugged yet easy to handle on set.

You can set up the camera in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, with all menus, overlays, and monitoring info fully localized.
