Ursa Cine Immersive

The world of visual media is changing, with Immersive Video leading the way. The Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive is a cinematic leap forward, enabling creators to put audiences right into their stories.

Unlock the Future of Storytelling with the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive

This isn’t your traditional cinema camera. The Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive is a highly specialized tool, meticulously crafted to meet the demanding requirements of high-fidelity spatial content:

  • Native Apple Immersive Video Capture: At its core, the camera is designed for seamless integration with the Apple Vision Pro ecosystem. It captures Apple Immersive Video, an 8K, 3D video format with a 180-degree field of view and spatial audio, delivering an unprecedented sense of presence.

  • Dual 8K Sensors for True Stereoscopic 3D: Featuring a fixed, custom lens system paired with dual 8160 x 7200 resolution sensors, the URSA Cine Immersive captures pixel-perfect stereoscopic 3D imagery. This ensures incredibly realistic depth and dimension, crucial for a truly immersive experience.

  • Exceptional Cinematic Quality: With a staggering 16 stops of dynamic range and Blackmagic Generation 5 Color Science, the camera renders scenes with rich detail in both shadows and highlights, vibrant colors, and a beautiful filmic look.

  • High Frame Rates for Fluid Motion: Capture ultra-smooth motion with the ability to shoot 90fps 3D immersive cinema content, all recorded to a single, efficient Blackmagic RAW file.

  • Integrated High-Capacity Storage: Equipped with an 8TB Blackmagic Media Module, the camera allows for hours of 8K stereoscopic 3D immersive recording directly onboard, streamlining your workflow on set.

  • Seamless Post-Production Workflow: The new Blackmagic RAW Immersive format carries crucial lens calibration data directly into DaVinci Resolve Studio. This tight integration provides a comprehensive editing, color grading, and audio mixing environment, including a dedicated immersive video viewer for precise adjustments and direct export for Apple Vision Pro.

  • Robust & Connected: Built with a durable magnesium alloy chassis, the camera features extensive connectivity including 12G-SDI, 10G Ethernet, USB-C, and XLR audio inputs, facilitating professional on-set integration and rapid media offload. Content is also compatible with other leading VR headsets like Meta Quest and AndroidXR.

Beyond Traditional VR180: The Cinemersive Difference

While other cameras can be adapted for VR180 capture using specialized lenses, the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive is a different breed entirely. Unlike setups that combine a standard cinema camera (like a RED V-Raptor or Canon R5 C) with a dual fisheye lens, the URSA Cine Immersive is purpose-built from the ground up for immersive content.

Here’s why that matters for your project:

  • Integrated Perfection: Instead of adapting a lens to a standard sensor, the URSA Cine Immersive features two dedicated 8K sensors perfectly paired with custom, pre-calibrated stereo lenses. This native design ensures unparalleled precision in depth and alignment, delivering the most realistic and comfortable immersive viewing experience possible. It’s an all-in-one system designed for harmonious capture.

  • Streamlined for Immersive Workflows: This camera isn’t just for shooting; it’s part of a complete immersive ecosystem. It captures directly into a specialized Blackmagic RAW Immersive format, which includes crucial data that dramatically simplifies post-production. This means less time on complex stitching and calibration, and more time focusing on creative storytelling, especially for seamless integration with Apple Immersive Video on the Apple Vision Pro.

  • Cinematic Purity: Every aspect, from its high dynamic range to its consistent color science and fixed iris, is optimized to produce stunning, cinematic-quality immersive visuals directly from the camera, without compromise.

This dedicated design approach ensures that every frame captured by the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive is engineered for the highest level of immersive fidelity, setting it apart from adapted solutions.
