I can't find any info for the original Blackmagic URSA EF V1, the one with the built in 10" screen. Why has all the info and support information been purged off of the Blackmagic site? Also, why can't each camera be given it's own name instead of calling them all virtually the same thing? Makes it very hard to search for anything.

Jim, the names can be confusing until you get used to what is happening and recognize one model from the other. But the naming scheme could be helped if BMD takes another look at their different camera lines. Almost all camera vendors create some confusion due to names of their cameras if you think about it.

Contrast camera names with how Apple names operating systems or Intel names new chips. Yes, the technically precise name may be macOS 10.15, but we can call it Catalina or Snow Leopard or High Sierra. Intel has invented more ‘Lakes’ than there may be real lakes in the USA!

BMMSC4K = Black Magic Micro Studio Camera 4K

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/produc ... iocamera4k

Also BMMC should be BMMCC = Black Magic Micro Cinema Camera

Kind of a mess, really.
