No new features in 5.1.1 for other camera products.

Ive downloaded this software, but my Broadcast cameras show up as "Up to Date" as 5.1

Depends on your type of camera.. Not all updates are improvements for all cameras. If you installed the latest version and your camera says this.. Then this is the latest update for your model.

Yes, the 5.1 update is for the Ursa Broadcast and Ursa Mini Pro, not the original BM Broadcast MFT Cameras. So 5.1is not going to update them, unless they are running older firmware, and then it will update them to the latest FW thst applied to these models.
Cheers

Where can I get the PDFs for the Ursa Mini Broadcast & Studio Fiber Converters? I want to get to work building the cables & buying the gear I need to interface Clear Com with the Ursa Broadcast.

I have two URSA Broadcast cameras and neither will update to the 5.1.1 release. Should they update to 5.1.1? The Camera Setup Utility says the camera is on 5.1 and no update is needed even though the 5.1.1 release notes have fixes for the URSA Broadcast.

Yes, BMD FW 5.1 is the latest version for the Broadcast Camera
