The new Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 boasts to be three cameras in one, allowing it to work as a 4K production camera, a 4K studio camera or a 6K digital film camera.

Featuring the same generation 5 color science as the high end URSA Mini Pro 12K, the new URSA Broadcast G2 delivers an even greater advancement in image quality with stunning, accurate skin tones and improved low light settings.
