The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K combines high end digital film quality with ergonomics and feature of a traditional broadcast camera.
The device comes with a range of features including: tactile control buttons, switches and dials, and includes built in optical ND filters, a new interchangeable lens mount and dual CFAST 2.0 and SD/UHS-II card recorders.
The Awards celebrate excellence in broadcast television and aim to recognise the huge variety of skills and processes involved in programme production.
The NAB trade show, held every April in Las Vegas, used to bill itself as the place to see kit manufacturers parade their newest wares to broadcasters and producers. Headline-grabbing black boxes that perform cool, new tricks are, however, increasingly rare.
Today's production and post-production tools tend, instead, to be software. They are, therefore, open to incremental and regular upgrades, and not tied to the cycle of trade shows.
Even the hardware is designed to evolve with tweaks to the central chip set, rather than a wholesale redesign.
