If your project calls for a lot of over the shoulder or handheld shooting, you’ll want to add the Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder. You get a high resolution 1920 x 1080 color display that lets you get incredibly accurate focus and the screen is so sharp it’s just like using an optical viewfinder on a traditional film camera. The viewfinder can be adjusted for either left or right eye use. Installation is simple, and you only need to mount it and plug in the SDI and power connections to the side of URSA Broadcast. It’s so comfortable when using the camera shoulder mounted. The viewfinder also includes a sensor to turn off the screen when you’re not using it to extend the life of the OLED screen.
If you add the Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder G2, you can turn an URSA Broadcast G2 into a professional studio camera. URSA Broadcast G2 has a digital film sensor and built in color corrector, so you get better image quality than a traditional studio camera. Plus you can add the Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter to connect the camera with SMPTE fiber while adding additional studio camera controls to the rear of the camera. URSA Broadcast has a B4 lens mount, so it handles both ENG lenses as well as large "box" style broadcast lenses, for par focal focus and amazing zoom range. It even works with the Blackmagic Focus and Zoom demands to control B4 lenses while using the camera with two hands.
