Description

The Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder is a professional electronic viewfinder designed for the Blackmagic URSA camera family, including the URSA Mini and URSA Mini Pro. It provides a high-resolution 1920 × 1080 OLED display, precision glass optics, an adjustable diopter, built-in tally light, camera overlays, and a digital focus chart.

Designed primarily for handheld, shoulder-mounted, and outdoor production, the URSA Viewfinder gives operators a more traditional camera-viewfinder experience while maintaining access to the camera’s exposure, focus, framing, and recording information.

Blackmagic specifically designed the viewfinder for outdoor and handheld shooting with URSA and URSA Mini cameras.

High-Resolution OLED Display

The URSA Viewfinder uses a 1920 × 1080 OLED display with approximately 6.22 million display pixels.

The OLED panel provides a sharp image suitable for evaluating framing and focus while shooting. The viewfinder supports frame rates up to 60 fps and displays camera information and overlays directly within the viewfinder.

Precision Glass Optics

One of the major advantages of the URSA Viewfinder is its optical system.

Rather than relying on a simple magnifying eyepiece, Blackmagic uses precision multi-element glass optics to provide a sharp view of the OLED display.

The viewfinder also features an adjustable 4-element diopter with a range from -4 to +3, allowing operators to adjust the viewfinder to their eyesight without requiring glasses to be removed.

Digital Focus Chart

The integrated digital focus chart allows the operator to properly adjust the viewfinder optics.

This is especially useful when preparing a camera for a production because the viewfinder can be calibrated before shooting to provide the clearest possible image.

Adjustable Eyepiece

The eyepiece can be tilted vertically and extended for comfortable operation with either the left or right eye.

This makes the URSA Viewfinder useful for operators with different shooting preferences and camera configurations.

Built-In Tally Light

A built-in LED tally light provides a visual indication of camera status.

This is particularly useful in multicamera, live-event, and broadcast environments where the operator needs to know when the camera is being used without looking away from the viewfinder.

Blackmagic also supports tally information through its SDI camera-control protocol on compatible systems.

Camera Controls and Overlays

The URSA Viewfinder includes controls for accessing camera settings, shortcuts, menus, and viewfinder functions.

Camera overlays can provide useful information such as:

  • Recording status
  • Frame rate
  • Shutter information
  • Iris
  • Timecode
  • Audio information
  • Exposure information
  • Focus tools
  • Camera status

The exact available information depends on the connected URSA camera and its firmware.
