Description
The Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF is built for filmmakers who want incredible detail, rich colour and modern production flexibility. It combines a groundbreaking 12K full-frame sensor with a compact professional body, making it suitable for feature films, streaming content, commercials and high-end creative projects. Although the camera is powerful, its layout and menu system remain intuitive, which helps crews work faster on set.
Exceptional 12K Image Resolution
One of the main advantages of the URSA Cine 12K LF is its ability to shoot in 12K resolution. This level of detail provides enormous flexibility in post-production. You can crop, stabilise or re-frame shots without losing clarity. As a result, productions can make more creative decisions after filming without compromising image quality.
Furthermore, the full-frame sensor delivers beautiful depth-of-field control and a cinematic look. Whether filming large outdoor scenes or tighter studio setups, the camera maintains sharpness across the frame and preserves fine textures.
Professional Colour and High Dynamic Range
Blackmagic’s colour science ensures natural skin tones and accurate colour reproduction. In addition, the camera offers high dynamic range, so highlights and shadows remain controlled even in challenging lighting. Because of this, gaffers, DOPs and colourists have more creative freedom and less risk of blown-out skies or muddy shadows.
HDR output is supported for modern delivery pipelines, and the footage grades smoothly, especially when using DaVinci Resolve.
Flexible Recording Formats and Workflow Options
The URSA Cine 12K LF supports Blackmagic RAW and ProRes 4444 XQ, along with additional compression and resolution options. This means the camera adapts easily to different workflows, budgets or delivery requirements. Additionally, the built-in ND filters (2, 4 and 6 stops) help control exposure quickly when lighting changes on set.
For slow-motion work, the camera supports up to 240 fps in 4K, making it suitable for action scenes, sports coverage or product cinematography.
Designed for Production Mobility
Despite its high-resolution capabilities, the URSA Cine 12K LF remains comfortable to handle. The touchscreen interface is simple to navigate, and ACs can adjust settings quickly when time is limited. The dual CFExpress slots enable continuous recording, and optional media upgrades support higher frame rates and lower compression.
Moreover, the camera includes professional connectivity such as SDI outputs, dual XLR audio inputs and multiple lens mount options (PL, EF, L-Mount and LPL by request).
Optimised for Post-Production
Finally, the Blackmagic RAW codec keeps file sizes manageable while still preserving rich detail. This makes post-production faster and more efficient, even when working with visual effects or complex colour grading. Whether editing in DaVinci Resolve or another professional application, the footage integrates smoothly.
