Today we announced Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive is now available to pre-order direct from Blackmagic Design offices worldwide for US$29,995. Delivery will start in late Q1 2025. This will let us work with initial customers to develop the post production pipeline with DaVinci Resolve and then Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive will be available via Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide, which we expect to be later in the year.   We are excited to begin accepting orders for Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, which is the world’s first commercial camera system designed to capture content for Apple Vision Pro and preview a true end-to-end workflow for Apple Immersive Video and DaVinci Resolve. An updated version of DaVinci Resolve Studio with new editing features for Apple Immersive Video will also be released early next year. As this workflow is very new, we are looking forward to working closely with initial URSA Cine Immersive filmmakers and production companies to refine the production workflow for Apple Immersive Video before releasing URSA Cine Immersive to a wider audience in 2025.   Learn more at http://bmd.link/gpw7H3 #BlackmagicDesign #URSACineImmersive #AppleVisionPro #DaVinciResolve

Today we released ATEM Switchers 9.6.3 update which is for all ATEM Advanced Panels and adds a new menu for controlling Blackmagic Design cameras directly from your panel. This means that you can now adjust settings such as iris, focus, black levels, master RGB and more from the camera control menu when previously, you would have needed to use ATEM Software Control or an extra camera control panel. With an increased number of user profiles from 10 to 100, you have much more flexibility when saving button mapping for individual users or different shows and will no longer need to overwrite existing profiles. ATEM Switchers 9.6.3 update is for all ATEM Advanced Panel models and is available now as a free download from http://bmd.link/C9wdWE #BlackmagicDesign #ATEMSwitchers #liveproduction

Today we released DaVinci Resolve 19.1.1 update which adds the ability to paste clips in the timeline at either the playhead or the in and out points. This gives you greater flexibility when applying your edits so you can choose the method that’s easiest for your workflow. When editing there’s also improved system stability for previewing clip transitions with FusionFX applied. Track controls are also now correctly displayed in the edit index, making it easier to select and disable tracks.   For Fusion, when working with fisheye textures in the spheremap 3D tool, the effect will now render correctly, making it easier to work with materials and reflections. There is also greater stability when adding two point b-spline polygons so you can confidently create soft edge mattes. In addition, when reviewing the thumbnail timeline on the color page, spatial photos will now display more reliably so you can quickly see and select shots.   For Fairlight, this update improves automation trim controls when playing your timeline so you can more consistently trim and adjust clips. Also, when importing AAFs with full clip fades, the start and end fade levels are now correctly applied so they will be accurately reproduced.   In addition, for those using older operating systems there are a range of improvements. There’s better H.265 encoding on computers with older NVIDIA graphics cards, giving you smaller, higher quality renders. For those using Mac Sequoia 15.1 operating systems, H.265 multipass renders will now be accurately completed. There is also a new render option for MP4s on Windows 10 giving you greater compatibility with a wider range of older media players.   DaVinci Resolve 19.1.1 update is available now as a free download from http://bmd.link/mc7Rju #BlackmagicDesign #DaVinciResolve #postproduction

Today we announced a dramatic price reduction for storage on Blackmagic Cloud! Until now the price has been USD$30 per TB per month, which might have reduced the number of people who could use Blackmagic Cloud services for global post production workflows. The new price has been cut by half and will be USD$15 per TB which should allow a lot more people to use cloud workflows. This reduction has been made possible by improvements in our data center backend and the Blackmagic Design engineers. We think this will allow more talented people to come together and create amazing television shows, feature films and online content, no matter where in the world they live! If you are currently using Blackmagic Cloud storage to sync media between cameras and DaVinci Resolve, then you will see your monthly payments reduced by half from today.

Today we announced Blackmagic Camera 9.1.2 update which adds new REST API commands for remote camera control. This enhances the already existing REST API functionality in URSA Cine which allows you to control the camera over a network via secure and easy to use commands. It also fixes a bug where focus markers on the 1st AC page would disappear when the camera was power cycled. This means you can now power cycle the camera or switch between playback and shooting modes and the user added focus markers will be retained. Blackmagic Camera 9.1.2 also adds support for the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor as well as for third party display port monitors. This means you are able to use PYXIS Monitor or display port USB-C monitors with your Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF with full touchscreen support and menu controls. In addition, this update includes a number of small improvements when using URSA Cine 12K LF with Blackmagic Cloud, enhanced playback performance, improved button lock behaviors and a newly revised manual with 12K LF dynamic range chart and additional information.
