Apparently only the Film to Video and record tally light features can't currently be controlled by a non-URSA camera, so it's not a total loss.
I agree that the URSA Mini 4.6K is a winner, and it's my preferred choice -- for some point in the future.
In the meantime, partly as an incremental purchase in advance of eventually owning an URSA Mini, I may pick up an URSA Viewfinder for its superior features (1080p resolution, OLED, SDI, & on-screen tools) and use it with my BMPC-4K.
I'll cross my fingers that BMD will add to the BMPC-4K's firmware the ability to toggle the VF's Video to Film feature via SDI. Of course, that may never happen, but I doubt it's impossible, and would be of great benefit to many pre-URSA BMD camera owners. Here's hoping such an update for older BMD cameras is somewhere near the top of the company's mile-long "to do" list.
