In Part 1 of our lab test of the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K we looked at rolling shutter and dynamic range – in part 2 we now have a closer look how this camera performs in our over- and underexposure test. Also, we will check the highlight recovery options with BRAW in post. Interested? Read on … If you have not read part 1 of our lab test of the URSA Mini Pro 12K, I suggest you have a look there as well in addition to this article. Camera settings for the latitude test were 12K, BMD Film, ISO800 and 5:1 compression ratio. Thank you pro media for the test camera by the way! As mentioned earlier, we currently have a loaner RTX3090 GPU from NVIDIA (thank you!!) – as we always use a 2K timeline for the latitude test (to keep consistent with earlier tests) the RTX3090 has no issues whatsoever with the 12K files from the URSA Mini Pro – the GPU runs at 8% load with a memory usage of 10.8 GB. Really a joy to work with! The Standard Studio Scene – Latitude of the URSA Mini Pro 12K As you may have seen in recent articles, we now also test overexposure in our standard studio scene. Adjusting the studio lights, we set a base exposure of around 60% luma value (for BMD Film without grading) in the waveform for the face of our subject, in this case my dear colleague Jakub. Then we...
