Here Are the Readout Speeds for the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF and PYXIS 6K Cameras
Interested in the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF or the PYXIS 6K? We’re not surprised, since being announced at NAB in Las Vegas last year, they’ve proven to be two of the most popular and talked about cameras in the film and video industry.For good reason, too, as the URSA Cine 12K LF in particular has catapulted Blackmagic into real competition with the likes of Sony, RED, and ARRI for the highest-end cinema cameras. The PYXIS 6K is turning heads too as a highly affordable cinema camera option that brings great 6K video performance at a less-gatekeeping price point.If you’re interested in either of these cameras, we’re excited to share the readout speed data published by Blackmagic Design on these two cameras. Let’s check out the data below.Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF Read Out Speed DataHere is the readout speed data for the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K LF. The results indicate that the URSA Cine 12K LF is indeed a fast camera with very menial rolling shutter artifacts that are comparable to other high-end cinema cameras like the ARRI ALEXA LF, the Sony VENICE 2, or the BURANO.
