Blackmagic Camera App 2.0 - Remote Monitor of URSA Cine?

PostTue Aug 06, 2024 2:28 am

I'm very curious if this new update to the Blackmagic Camera App will allow for Remote Monitoring and Control of the URSA Cine? Since the URSA Cine has built in WiFi, and the update adds:

...remotely controlling and monitoring multiple iPhones at the same time. This means your iPhone can be set up as a controller so phones running Blackmagic Camera can be securely connected using a wired or wifi network. This lets you view all your cameras in a multi view, allowing you to monitor and control things like zoom, focus, white balance, frame rate, shutter angle or lens selection on an individual camera or adjust all connected cameras at the same time. It also enables you to synchronize all your cameras so they start and stop recording at the same time.


And:

iPad Pros, allowing you to use the iPad as a camera or as a controller. When used as a controller the iPad’s larger display makes it easier to monitor multiple cameras in either a multi view setup with up to nine cameras on screen at a time, or scroll through each individual camera.


So, will this mean that the URSA Cine could ultimately be viewed and controlled in a similar manner?

Ok, sounds good. Hoping for Remote Monitor for the URSA Cine to come to this when the camera ships. That would definitely be a great feature for clients. Either way, it's a cool update for the Blackmagic Camera App.

Are there any updates for control and monitoring on the URSA Cine 12K as well?
