Blackmagic Design are continuing to add new features to their robust camera lineup and for those invested in URSA Mini/Broadcast cameras, the latest Camera Update 5.1 should feel pretty good. The latest firmware update brings more features and improvements to the URSA Broadcast, URSA Mini Pro, URSA Viewfinder and URSA Studio Viewfinder bringing smoother lens iris control for servo zoom lenses.
With Camera Update 5.1 iris control is now much finer and more reactive giving continuous smooth iris adjustment for B4, PL and hybrid compact servo EF lenses. This is very useful for adjusting iris when live on air from the camera’s slider in the heads up display or when connected to an ATEM Software Control or with the new ATEM Camera Control Panel.
The updates to the viewfinders are also necessary to ensure full compatibility with this new feature and improves compatibility with our Camera Fiber Converter as well.
