The frame rate settings in URSA have been changed and now the record frame rate is not limited by the video frame rate. This means customers can select the frame rate they want their work to be done, such as 24 frames per second for a feature film shoot, and then independently select the recording rate from 5 all the way up to 80 frames per second. The advantage of this is the URSA camera can shoot slow motion or fast motion shots but all the recorded video files are always set to the video rate, and you can see the effect of the higher or slower frame rate when playing. This means you can playback the exact same look on the cameras as the clips will play in a time line of editing software.
Wow, the off-speed framerates really aren't kind to LEDs. But it looks good otherwise.
I had it through my hands a couple of weeks ago. The monitor is fantastic, but it really weights A LOT! I didn't expect it do be SO heavy. It's like having a suitcase full of rocks. Using it on the shoulder will break lots of backs!
Definitely a tripod camera. Lug it out of your bag, put it on sticks and start shooting. No rigging, no cables, nothing.
Shoulder? Never! Who wants a ten inch monitor right up to his/her nose?
