Colour Generations?

Does anyone know if there's a list of the Blackmagic cameras and firmware that the colour generations would be on?

I'm thinking more so it'd be good to know for the older cameras, but also the newer ones if you roll back a firmware what colour generation is connected to which firmware.

Guessing on some of these earlier cameras so there can correct me; don’t follow the various studio cameras except the latest.

Gen 1->Gen 4 DR
BMCC
BMPCC
URSA 4K
BMPC4K
BMMCC

Gen 2
not released on any production camera

Gen 3->Gen 4 DR
URSA Mini 4K
URSA Mini 4.6K
URSA Mini 4.6K Pro G1

Gen 4
URSA Mini 4.6K Pro G2
BMPCC4K/6K first release version
URSA Mini Broadcast G1

Gen 5
BMPCC6K Pro
BMPCC4K/6K after release 6.1
BMPCC6K G2
URSA Mini 12K
URSA Mini Broadcast G2

Don't think there is a Gen2....My Production Camera decodes either as Gen1 or Gen4. So I'm assuming Ursa and Ursa Mini 4K are the same since its the same sensor.

Thanks. Updated the list.

You can't record with Gen4 colour in camera on the BMPCC or BMCC, but I believe Resolve can decode the DNGs as Gen4.

Color Science upon camera release;

Gen 1 BMCC, BMPCC, BMMCC, Production Camera, Big Ursa

Gen 2 was the prototype color science of the UM46, it only existed for some demo footage. I don't believe any production cameras ever used it.

Gen 3 UM4k, UM46, UM46Pro

Gen 4 UBG1, P4K, P6k

Gen 5 P6kPro, UM12k, UBG2

Some of the pockets can switch between G4 and G5, and some of the Ursa Minis can switch between G3 and G4.

Good Luck

Thanks Alex and Howard for those details. I’ve updated my first post so hopefully it’s complete now.

Thanks!! This is exactly what I was looking for.

If ever in doubt about what color gen your camera/firmware is recording, the metadata panel in Resolve will always tell you the color gen of any BMD camera file that you load into the media pool.
