Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65 Body – 65mm Cinema Camera

Product Overview

The Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65 Body is a flagship large-format digital film camera built around a 65mm RGBW 50.8×23.3mm sensor with resolution up to 17,520×8040 (140.8MP) and 16 stops of dynamic range. It captures 17K for IMAX-style screens with center-crop options for cinema and television delivery, recording Blackmagic RAW to an included 8TB media module with built-in cloud collaboration.

Product Description

Designed for high-end feature films, commercials, and large-format productions, the URSA Cine 17K 65 pairs extreme resolution with cinematic color science and a modular, rugged body. The 65mm RGBW sensor uses equal red, green, and blue pixel architecture for accurate, vibrant color at every resolution, with 16 stops of dynamic range for flexible HDR grading. It records Blackmagic RAW internally from 4K up to 17K (17,520×8040 to 60 fps, with higher frame rates at lower resolutions), and ships with an 8TB Blackmagic Media Module that holds roughly 4 hours of full 17K RAW or about 20 hours of 4K. Interchangeable PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad mounts capture lens metadata in-camera. Connectivity includes dual 12G-SDI outputs, 10G Ethernet, WiFi, XLR audio with phantom power, LEMO/Fischer accessory and power ports, USB-C, and a 5" articulating HDR touchscreen, with optional URSA Cine EVF support. Built-in streaming hardware supports RTMP and SRT, and the camera runs on a B-mount battery plate. DaVinci Resolve Studio is included.
