Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 features the same advanced Blackmagic OS software used on other Blackmagic Design cameras. That means you get a user interface that's fast to use, built on top of an operating system designed specifically for the film and television industry. All camera functions can be accessed with a single tap on the heads up display, and the touchscreen menus let you access advanced functions such as monitoring, audio, camera setup, recording, presets and 3D LUTs. Each camera feature runs on top of the operating system as a separate app so you get greater stability and multiple functions can run at the same time. Best of all, new features can be added in the future!

Everything is interactive, so if you tap any item you can instantaneously change its settings without having to search through complex menus! You can even clear the LCD of all text placed over the image area by swiping up or down with your finger.
