The new Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 is a high-end model designed to transmit via traditional media or the Internet. Its design allows it to be used as a 6K digital cinema camera or in studios and productions in 4K resolution. Additionally, it supports a wide variety of lenses and batteries, and provides the opportunity to record to SD cards, UHS-II, CFast 2.0 or external drives, in popular formats such as H.265, ProRes and Blackmagic RAW. In this way, it is compatible with all computer programs for editing and organizing audiovisual material. It is even possible to change the mount. No other camera offers so much flexibility
