Electronic News Gathering
When you're doing ENG work, you need a balanced shoulder mount camera that’s comfortable enough to use all day. You don't need any additional equipment or rigging because the camera includes a low light sensor, built in ND filters, fold out LCD monitor, dual media recording that uses common memory cards and professional audio all built into the compact design.

It can even shoot ENG material in Blackmagic RAW so you can reuse the content for magazine programs or current affairs.
Live Sport, Concerts and Events
URSA Broadcast G2 is perfect for covering large events such as concerts and sports. You can have handheld cameras shooting from the sidelines, or set up tripods all around the stadium. If you need to work far away from the switcher, you can add the optional fiber converter. The Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter provides remote talkback, tally, camera control from 2 km away using an industry standard SMPTE fiber cable. It even powers the camera up to 2 km away! Or if you are starting out, you can simply plug the camera SDI output directly into your switcher! This means you can use the same camera to start with and then add more "high end" live production workflows as your company grows and your needs change!
Web Broadcasting
Imagine using broadcast cameras when streaming to platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and more! Blackmagic Design makes a complete line of cameras, switchers and streaming products that are specifically designed for web broadcasters. You can start with URSA Broadcast G2 connected to a switcher all via simple BNC cable. Just fold out the built in LCD to access the setup menus and get started!

That means you get camera control, talkback and tally from the switcher, all built in, without adding anything extra.
Unscripted Live Shoots
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 makes it possible to produce unscripted studio shows, such as live cooking competitions or a bake off, at full broadcast quality. You can mix handheld URSA Broadcast cameras with shoulder kits and viewfinders, alongside tripod based cameras with URSA Studio Viewfinders. All of the cameras can be connected to an ATEM switcher with integrated hardware control panel so you can cut the show live. That’s because one person can use an ATEM Advanced Panel for switching, while someone else uses an ATEM Camera Control Panel to balance color, all at the same time! The program output can be recorded to a HyperDeck Studio so you create the master recording all in real time!
Television Commercials
Whether you’re managing a global brand or a local independent brand, you always want your TVC to look perfect! That's why it's vital that television commercials are shot using digital film. With URSA Broadcast G2, it’s now affordable enough to shoot on digital film, even for small independent local brands. Plus, with the included DaVinci Resolve Studio software, you can use the same high end post production and color correction software used in Hollywood to create a cinematic look that makes customers aware of the quality of your brand. Any product can benefit from the luxurious visual treatment that using URSA Broadcast G2 cameras and DaVinci Resolve color correction will provide.
Broadcast Studio Program Production
When you’re working on high end studio based television production, you need a camera that can be adapted to the studio environment. Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 works with professional fluid heads and gas pedestals, broadcast box lenses, high end talkback headsets, SMPTE fiber connections and studio viewfinders. The URSA Studio Viewfinder provides a large bright LCD with full adjustable range so you can position the camera higher or lower down and simply angle the screen so you can monitor the shot. Even SMPTE fiber can be added so all video and control is connected to the camera using a single cable, and as the camera moves around the studio floor, you don't get messy cable tangles.
Multi Camera Production
As many live shows are actually just recorded in front of a live studio audience and then edited, its important your studio cameras support multicam editing. URSA Broadcast G2 is perfect for these types of shows because it uses standard ProRes and H.265 files that are used by all modern editing software. Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 supports timecode, so the recordings from all cameras will be timecode matched and automatically synchronized when doing multicam editing. Imagine having multiple URSA Broadcast G2 cameras on set with URSA Studio Viewfinders, all synced together and recording! Plus when you’re ready to edit, the media can be mounted directly on your computer without file copying.
Independent Film
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast features a high resolution 6K image sensor so you can use it for digital film shoots! With URSA Broadcast G2, you can get the quality, resolution and dynamic range of Super 35mm film in a compact design that’s easy to use even by a single camera operator or small crews! You can also change the lens mount to use EF, F or PL lens so you can work with affordable photographic lenses or professional cinema lenses. You get built in monitoring with histograms and focus peaking so you don’t have to rig additional external monitoring. URSA Broadcast G2 is extremely mobile so you can shoot like a broadcaster, but you get the quality of film!
Music Video Production
In today’s music industry, a high quality music video can get posted online, go viral and turn an unknown, unsigned band into superstars overnight! That means the production value of a band’s very first music video is critical to the perception and style of the band. URSA Broadcast G2 is perfect because it’s also a digital film camera, so you get everything you need to finish a great music video. You can even use an ATEM live production switcher so you can edit and stream music videos live. You’ll be able to capture the energy and excitement of the performance in front of a crowd, plus you’ll be able to shoot from multiple angles and in locations that would be impossible with a larger camera!
