Cursors displayed on screen
Once you have set them up they can be switched on or off from the 'cursors' menu or assigned
to your function keys for quick access. This is important for live production, as it allows the
camera operator to take this into consideration and accurately compose and frame shots. You
can create up to three black or white custom cursors that can have variable height, width and
position, making it easy to match the size and location for all the graphics that will be added live
or during later broadcast. You also have the option to reset the cursors to their default state.
Using a headset with the Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder
When using the Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder with URSA Broadcast, the headphone
connection on the camera will now become a talkback headset connection, allowing for direct
communication with the director.
Updating URSA Viewfinder’s Internal Software
Update your viewfinder using the Blackmagic Camera Setup utility software. The viewfinder will
need to be powered when updating, so we recommend keeping the viewfinder connected to
your URSA Broadcast during the update process. This also means your camera will need to
supply consistent power, so be sure to plug into external power.
Remove the sun hood to provide access to the small USB-C connection located on the bottom
of the Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder, and connect your computer to the USB-C port.
When Blackmagic Camera Utility is launched and your viewfinder is connected to your
computer, you will be prompted to update if your computer detects that your viewfinder is using
an older version. Follow the on screen prompts to update your viewfinder’s internal software.
Refer to the ‘Blackmagic Camera Setup Utility’ section in this manual for more information.
We recommend updating all your Blackmagic URSA equipment at the same time for
optimized performance.
TIP
Because URSA Broadcast's headphone socket is iPhone headset compatible, you
can use your iPhone headset to communicate with the director. Pushing the button on
the built-in remote will allow you to talk back to the director.
