Blackmagic Camera Setup 6.3

Blackmagic have released Camera Setup 6.3 that adds new support or the recently announced URSA Mini Pro G2.

This is slightly odd given the fact that the URSA Mini Pro G2 isn’t even available yet. We expect to see the camera on display at NAB 2019.

Above you can see some vision captured in high frame rates from the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2.

What’s new in Blackmagic Camera Setup 6.3

New support for URSA Mini Pro G2

  • Add slow-mo frame rates up to 120 fps in 4.6K Blackmagic RAW.
  • Add windowed rates up to 150 fps in Ultra HD Blackmagic RAW.
  • Add windowed rates up to 300 frames in HD Blackmagic RAW.
  • Add frame rates up to 120 fps in Ultra HD ProRes.
  • Add windowed rates up to 240 fps in 2K and HD ProRes.
  • Add common off-speed frame rate options above slider.
  • Added the ability to embed custom LUTs in Blackmagic RAW clips.
  • Add touch-to-focus for EF, PL and B4 lenses with focus servo.
  • Added the ability to change ISO in 1/3 stop increments and ISO slider.
  • Add Generation 4 color science and HDR LUTs.
  • Add USB-C Recording to flash disks.
  • Add support for pixel recalibration on black shading in camera.
  • Add ability to adjust Line level audio.
  • Add quick media switching from the heads up display.
  • Added the ability to remap the HFR button.
  • Add ability to disable function and HFR buttons.
  • Add LUT icon to Status Text Overlays.
  • Add ‘PRE icon to Status Text overlays for preset timecode.
  • Improved autofocus performance.
  • Improved media formatting user interface.
  • Added URSA Mini Pro G2 information to URSA Mini Manual.

Unfortunately Camera Setup 6.3 adds no new features for other camera models.

Users of the URSA Mini 4.6K will probably still be upset that Blackmagic hasn’t added Blackmagic RAW recording capabilities to their cameras.
