Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K PL – Super 35 Cinema Camera

Product Overview

The Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K is a Super 35 digital film camera with a native 12,288×6480 (80MP) 12K sensor and 14 stops of dynamic range, built into the URSA Mini body. Oversampling from 12K produces exceptionally clean 8K and 4K, and the camera shoots up to 60 fps in 12K, 110 fps in 8K, and up to 220 fps in 4K Super 16. It features an interchangeable PL mount, built-in ND filters, dual CFast and UHS-II SD recorders, and includes DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Product Description

This is the world's highest-resolution Super 35 cinema camera, designed for feature films, episodic television, large-format work, and heavy VFX. The 12K sensor carries equal red, green, and blue photosites and is optimized for multiple resolutions, so in-sensor scaling delivers 8K or 4K RAW at high frame rates without cropping or changing field of view. Blackmagic RAW was co-designed with the sensor to make 12-bit 12K workflows efficient enough to edit on a laptop, with constant-quality (Q0/Q1/Q3/Q5) and constant-bitrate (5:1/8:1/12:1/18:1) options and simultaneous recording to two cards. Generation 5 Color Science adds a new film curve for more pleasing skin tones and better saturated-color rendering. The camera offers a mechanical ND filter wheel (clear, 2/4/6-stop), dual CFast 2.0 and UHS-II SD recorders plus a 10 Gb/s USB-C expansion port for external SSDs, 12G-SDI in/out, 2× XLR mic/line inputs with phantom power, a 4" articulating touchscreen, and Bluetooth control. DaVinci Resolve Studio is included.

FAQ

Is the sensor Super 35 or full-frame? It's a 27.03×14.25mm Super 35 CMOS sensor at 12,288×6480 (about 80MP per frame).

How does it differ from the URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF? The OLPF version adds an optical low-pass filter matched to the 12K sensor to reduce moiré and aliasing — useful for virtual production with LED walls — and refines IR/far-red color response.

What media does it record to? Dual CFast 2.0 and dual UHS-II SD cards, plus external SSDs over the 10 Gb/s USB-C port; RAW can record to two cards simultaneously.

What software is included? A full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio.
