Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 Camera with Sigma 18-35mm Art Lens, Hard Case and Power Cord

Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 Camera with Sigma 18-35mm Art Lens, Hard Case and Power Cord

The Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 Camera is an incredibly powerful camera designed for both traditional and online broadcasters. This bundle by Focus Camera includes a Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 Camera with an 18-35mm lens, weatherproof hard case, and power cord.

Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 Camera

The Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 Camera features a 6K sensor, dual gain ISO, and the ability to record in a variety of formats. It can be used as a 4K production camera, a 4K studio camera, or for 6K digital filmmaking. With a dual gain ISO of up to 36dB and a dynamic range of 13 stops, the 6K digital sensor provides exceptional low-light performance. It features the Blackmagic Generation 5 color science as well as H.265 and Blackmagic RAW file formats. It also has a USB-C expansion port for external recording.

Perfect Solution for Broadcasters

The URSA Broadcast G2 includes ENG camera controls positioned around the camera so you can locate them by feel. The low light sensor gives you amazing images using natural light. It is an ideal solution for broadcast news and programming. 

Ergonomics

The URSA Broadcast includes an advanced built-in YRGB color corrector and full remote camera control. You can use B4 ENG lenses, large studio box lenses, or even change the lens mount and use any lens. Plus the optional Blackmagic focus and zoom demands let you control the lens from the tripod handles. 

Optimal Picture Quality 

The large 6K sensor combined with Blackmagic generation 5 color science gives you the same imaging technology used in digital film cameras. This means broadcasters can now use digital cinema quality in the broadcast. The 6K sensor features a resolution of 6144 x 3456 so it's flexible enough for broadcast and digital film work. When using B4 lenses, you get a 4K window of the sensor for Ultra HD broadcast use. Then if you change to a PL or EF lens mount, you can use the full 6K resolution of the sensor for the digital film. 

Low Light Performance for High-Definition Shooting 

The new URSA Broadcast features incredible low light performance so you can shoot using ambient light or even under the moonlight. In advanced cameras, ISO is a measurement of the image sensor’s sensitivity to light. The Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 features gain from -12dB (100 ISO) up to +36dB (25,600 ISO) so it's optimized to reduce grain and noise in images while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor. The primary native ISO is 400, which is ideal for use under studio lighting. Then the secondary high base ISO of 3200 is perfect when shooting in dimly lit environments. The gain can be set via a camera switch, the LCD menu or remotely using the SDI remote camera control protocol. 

Compatible with B4 Broadcast Lenses 

The URSA Broadcast G2 features a B4 broadcast lens mount that includes optics specifically designed to match the camera’s sensor. The B4 lens mount lets you use modern Ultra HD lenses or lower-cost HD lenses. Older HD lenses often feature resolutions well beyond HD, so you get great quality at a low cost. The B4 lenses are fantastic because they are par-focal, so the image stays in focus as you zoom in and out, so you don't need to constantly chase focus as you shoot. That lets you work much faster. You also get full electronic lens control to adjust focus, iris, and zoom using the camera’s controls, or remotely.

Premium Built-In Optical ND Filters 

The URSA Broadcast G2 features high-quality neutral density (ND) filters that let you quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. The 1/4, 1/16th and 1/64th stop filters have been specifically designed to match the image sensor and color science of URSA Broadcast G2, providing you with additional latitude and better colorimetry. This lets you use different combinations of aperture and shutter angle, in a wider range of situations. The IR filters have been designed to evenly filter both optical and IR wavelengths, eliminating IR contamination.

Smooth Mechanism 

The URSA Broadcast is designed to work with standard file formats that are used by all broadcast systems and editing software. You can record in ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes 422 into QuickTime files. The new Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 model can even record into H.265 for incredibly small files at 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios, in 10-bit broadcast quality.

Dual Media Slots for Non‑Stop Recording 

With dual CFast 2.0 recorders and dual SD/UHS-II card recorders, you can choose the media that's best for you! Both types of media are standard, inexpensive, and readily available at computer and camera stores.

USB-C for Recording Direct to External Media Disks 

The Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 features a high-speed USB-C expansion port on the rear of the camera that allows you to record to external disks or connect to a wide range of accessories. If you plug in a large and low-cost external USB flash disk, you can record ProRes, H.265 or even high-quality 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files for later editing and color correction.

Unique and Lightweight Magnesium Design 

URSA Broadcast G2 features a super-strong, lightweight magnesium alloy body that’s perfectly balanced and designed to be comfortable to use all day! It features familiar externally mounted switches and controls that give you direct access to the most important camera settings. The controls are laid out logically, making them easy to locate by feel, so you can adjust settings without having to look at the buttons.

Built-in LCD with Touch Controls for Easy operation 

With a built-in LCD that folds out, you can both monitor and control the camera. While URSA Broadcast G2 features lots of physical buttons and knobs, using the LCD, you also get on screen status and touch screen controls. The built-in touchscreen also includes a heads-up display with the most important shooting information, as well as menus for all camera settings, LUTs and custom presets.

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras

Truly a revolutionary product, the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 DC HSM is the first wide-angle to standard zoom lens to achieve a large aperture of 1.8. Designed specifically for APS-C sized sensors, the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 translates to 27mm-52.5mm on 35mm camera. Tapping into Sigma’s long history of lens innovations, the 18-35mm 1.8 DC HSM incorporates a wide glass molded aspherical lens with Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass to compensate for aberrations and curvature at the widest angle. Internal focusing and zooming allows for more usability and functionality. The 18-35mm is ideal for landscape photography, portrait photography, still life photography, snap shots, casual photography, and close-ups and the Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures smooth, fast and accurate autofocusing. The use of Thermally Composite Material (TSC) reduces size and weight but increases accuracy of the lens construction. Its new Global Vision design works features compatibility with the Sigma USB dock for further customization. A 9 blade rounded diaphragm also creates beautiful background blur. The Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 DC HSM is a new benchmark in photographic history and a must have for every camera bag.

DC for Digital

Sigma's DG lenses are specifically designed to deliver the ultimate level of performance on full frame digital SLRs. Sigma DGs also maximize the abilities of 35mm SLR cameras and APS-C size DSLRs. Thanks to a complete and comprehensive approach to the correction of chromatic aberrations, you will experience incredible image clarity and smoothness. Specific attention was paid to helping eliminate color fringing often caused by lateral chromatic aberration, a problem that is magnified at high resolution in digital photography. DG lenses provide exceptionally high contrast along with subtle gradations in tone and color. Super Multi-Layer Coating, along with Sigma's optimized optical design work to reduce reflections between the image sensor and the lens surfaces. The large image circles of DG lenses mean there will always be enough peripheral illumination to avoid vignetting.
