Unveiled at NAB 2025: The New Era of Large-Format Filmmaking
At NAB 2025, Blackmagic Design stunned the filmmaking world yet again with the reveal of the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K, a groundbreaking addition to their URSA line. Designed for the most demanding cinematic productions, this camera introduces an all-new 17K large-format sensor, offering extraordinary resolution, dynamic range, and detail like never before.
17K Resolution – Unmatched Image Quality
The URSA Cine 17K features a massive 65mm format sensor with a resolution of 17,280 x 8064, making it one of the highest-resolution digital cinema cameras ever released. This translates into unprecedented detail, making it ideal for IMAX productions, high-end VFX workflows, and future-proof archiving.
Whether you’re delivering in 4K, 8K, or higher, shooting in 17K gives you the flexibility to reframe, crop, and stabilize while retaining razor-sharp image quality.
Large Format, Cinematic Look
The 65mm sensor delivers a truly cinematic large-format aesthetic, with shallow depth of field, wide field of view, and creamy bokeh. Combined with Blackmagic’s Generation 5 Color Science, skin tones look natural, highlights are beautifully rolled off, and colors pop with rich, film-like character.
Modular “Body Only” Flexibility
This Body Only version of the URSA Cine 17K gives cinematographers the freedom to build their ideal rig. Whether outfitting it for studio, aerial, or handheld use, it supports a wide range of professional accessories.

-
Interchangeable lens mount system (including LPL, PL, EF)

Robust I/O: 12G-SDI, full-size HDMI, XLR audio, USB-C recording
