Operating URSA Broadcast
Industry standard BNC connectors are located on the right and rear panel of your
URSA Broadcast for SDI connections. There are also two separate LANC inputs, one for the
optional URSA side handle and one at the rear of the camera for an external LANC controller.
XLR inputs are on the top panel behind the mounting points for professional balanced analog
audio and AES digital audio. A 4 pin XLR connector is provided on the rear panel for external
power input, and an output is available on the right side for powering accessories such as
Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder.
The USB port above the storage media slots is for connecting to a computer when updating
your camera’s internal software.
