Blackmagic Ursa Cine 12K LF - 14,8V frame-rates

PostThu May 22, 2025 5:36 pm

Hello!

Maybe a stupid question, but I think it's valid when I saw the frame-rates Pyxis 12k can do.

Is there any possibilities for the Cine 12k LF to do more than 60fps on a 14.8v V-mount battery in the future?
At least something similar to the Pyxis 12k.
I mean, I don't need 224fps, but 100fps at 4k would be really nice :)

(yes I know I can change to B-mount, but I have a lot of V-mount batteries and I dont use high-speed that often)

I suspect there’s more power draw from the camera with the extra monitor and all that may mean 14V batteries provide a little less to the processor for handling higher frame rates in the realm of the PYXIS 12K. But that’s only my guess. No technical information to support that claim.

Maybe someone from Blackmagic can actually give a technical answer.
