Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro PL Mount

Description

The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro PL Mount is an interchangeable lens mount designed for the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro camera family, including the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2.

The PL mount allows the URSA Mini Pro to use professional PL-mount cinema lenses, including high-end prime lenses, cinema zooms, anamorphic lenses, and other professional optics used throughout feature film, television, commercial, and production work.

The mount features electronic contacts compatible with Cooke /i Technology, allowing supported PL lenses to communicate lens information to the camera. Lens data such as make and model, serial number, iris setting, focus distance, and zoom position can be recorded as metadata and used in post-production applications such as DaVinci Resolve.

PL Cinema Lens Compatibility

The PL mount gives the URSA Mini Pro access to a much larger professional cinema-lens ecosystem.

Compatible lens categories include:

• ARRI PL cinema primes
• ARRI Signature Prime lenses
• Cooke cinema lenses
• ZEISS Supreme Prime lenses
• Angenieux cinema zooms
• Fujinon PL cinema zooms
• Canon PL cinema lenses
• Schneider PL lenses
• Vintage PL cinema lenses

• Professional PL cine-servo zooms

This makes the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 significantly more suitable for professional cinema and commercial production.

Cooke /i Technology

One of the major advantages of the Blackmagic PL mount is its support for Cooke /i Technology-compatible lenses.

Compatible lenses can provide information such as:

• Lens manufacturer
• Lens model
• Lens serial number
• Iris position
• Focus distance
• Zoom position

This information can be recorded as camera metadata and used during post-production and visual-effects workflows.

For productions using supported Cooke lenses, this provides useful technical information without requiring the camera team to manually record lens settings.

12-Pin Broadcast Lens Control

The URSA Mini Pro also provides a 12-pin broadcast lens connector.

With compatible cine-servo or broadcast-style lenses, the camera can provide electronic control and communication through the appropriate lens connection. Blackmagic specifically notes support for powering and controlling broadcast-style cine-servo zoom lenses through the 12-pin Hirose connector.

This makes the PL configuration useful beyond traditional cinema primes.
