The Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 is a groundbreaking full-frame digital cinema camera designed for filmmakers who need the highest image resolution and color fidelity available. Built around a colossal 65mm RGBW sensor with a stunning 17520 x 8040 resolution, this camera delivers ultra-high resolution video with incredible detail, vibrant color, and 16 stops of dynamic range. Whether you're shooting for IMAX, large-format theatrical releases, or high-end commercial work, the URSA Cine 17K offers image quality that exceeds industry standards.

Massive RGBW Sensor with High Dynamic Range for Cinematic Imagery
At the heart of the URSA Cine 17K 65 is an advanced large-format RGBW sensor architecture with balanced red, green, and blue pixels, ensuring rich, accurate color in every frame. Its oversized photosites enhance low-light performance and tonal range, while the 2.2:1 native aspect ratio is perfect for widescreen and cinematic delivery formats. This sensor supports true 17K recording in Blackmagic RAW and can scale cleanly down to 4K or 8K for versatile delivery formats without cropping or losing the full sensor field.

Interchangeable Lens Mounts Support Versatile Optical Choices
URSA Cine 17K features an interchangeable mount system, pre-installed with a PL mount and includes an active Hasselblad HC mount for pairing with high-end medium format lenses. You can quickly switch to LPL or EF mounts to support everything from anamorphic cinema glass to still photo primes. Each mount includes metadata contact pins to support lens data capture for post workflows in DaVinci Resolve and on-set monitoring, giving you professional lens flexibility in every production scenario.

Professional Connectivity for Complex Cinema Workflows
Designed for demanding production environments, the URSA Cine 17K includes a complete array of professional I/O. Dual 12G-SDI outputs, 10G Ethernet, XLR audio, and USB-C expansion offer easy integration with studio gear. Front-facing 7-pin LEMO and 3-pin Fischer ports provide 24V power and remote control for lens motors and accessories. Rear LEMO connectors support both 24V and 12V accessories, ensuring a clean, cable-efficient build for DIT carts, rigs, and handheld setups.

8TB of Internal High-Speed Media with Cloud Workflow Integration
This camera includes a preinstalled 8TB Blackmagic Media Module, capable of recording hours of 17K RAW footage with no dropped frames. The internal media system supports proxy file creation and real-time Blackmagic Cloud upload for immediate post-production access. Streamlined file transfer into DaVinci Resolve lets editors begin work as footage is being captured. Optional Media Module CF adds dual CFexpress card support for alternate media workflows.

Integrated Optical Filters and Image Fidelity Controls
URSA Cine 17K includes an optical low-pass filter precisely matched to the sensor, helping eliminate moiré and aliasing—ideal when shooting fabrics, LED walls, or high-frequency textures. It also features improved infrared filtration, preserving far-red color fidelity and ensuring accurate reproduction of challenging tones. Combined with Generation 5 Color Science and RAW recording, this sensor and filter system enables consistent, cinematic color accuracy from capture to delivery.

Stream Live from Set and Monitor in Real Time Worldwide
Built-in RTMP and SRT streaming transforms this camera into a live broadcast-ready device. Simply connect to Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or mobile 5G via USB-C, and clients or collaborators can monitor the feed in real time using platforms or an ATEM Streaming Bridge. The onboard streaming engine eliminates the need for external encoders, providing a clean, professional workflow directly from camera to post or broadcast.
