Button Features
The dials down the right hand side let you change brightness, contrast, peaking quickly and
easily. The dials are ergonomically designed so you can adjust the dials from the side with your
thumb when using the sun hood, or with two fingers for finer more controlled adjustment.

various styles of peaking to suit your
environment. There is the option for
the traditional style of focus peaking
that many will be familiar with from
other broadcast systems, as well
as the option to use colored lines
for focus. As with URSA Broadcast
you have the option of ‘red’, ‘green’,
‘blue’, ‘black' and 'white' lines which
gives you flexibility to make them
easily viewable when shooting in
environments that have a lot of a
particular colour.
8 Handles
The built in handles are large
and allow you to hold the Studio
Viewfinder in place as you reposition
the camera while shooting. They also
provide protection for the screen
when setting up and packing down.
