User's Manual

Your shutter setting can also affect the visibility of flicker when shooting under lights, so your
URSA Mini can automatically calculate and display flicker free shutter options for your current
frame rate. Note that the characteristics of individual light sources may still cause flicker even
when using flicker free values. For more information, refer to the ‘touchscreen controls’ section.
If you have opened up your shutter to the slowest shutter speed or widest shutter angle
possible and are still seeing flicker in recorded footage, you may need to consider using
different light sources for your scene or look into using a faster lens.
Maximum Frame Rates
The tables below contain available codecs, resolutions and their maximum sensor frame rates
for URSA Mini 4.6K and URSA Mini Pro models. It should be noted that the references to
Blackmagic RAW, ProRes 444 and ProRes 422 are references to all of the supported variants
within each particular codec.
Because of the data rates required for recording high resolutions in slow motion you will need
to choose a fast CFast card, USB-C flash disk or SSD. Refer to the ‘storage media’ section for
recommended media for continuous high speed recording.
TIP You can test the speed your card can sustain by switching on the ‘stop rec if card
drops frames’ feature and recording a test clip. This will allow you to test how long you
can shoot at a particular frame rate in any given resolution. If the card stops recording
too quickly then moving down to the next available compression setting or resolution
will lower the data rate and make it easier for the card to maintain.
