By technical editor Matt Allard:
Blackmagic today released Camera Firmware 2.0 that adds new features for the URSA. The Studio Camera 4K, Studio Camera, BMPCC and BMCC all get minor improvements or bug fixes.
For owners of the URSA Blackmagic have added Apple ProRes 444 recording in 4K and HD. As far as I’m aware the URSA and the AJA Cion are the only 4K sensor cameras currently capable of recording 444 ProRes internally.
What’s new in Blackmagic Camera Utility 2.0:
