FRAMING GUIDES
COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE GUIDES AND CURSORS
Frame guides are an essential function for every viewfinder especially during live production where graphics and other elements are going to be keyed downstream. The Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder framing guides can show you where a lower third graphic logo or ticker will appear so you can accurately compose and frame shots. You can create up to three black or white custom cursors that can have variable height width and position making it easy to match the location for all the graphics that will be added live or during later broadcast.

ADVANCED SDI CONTROL PROTOCOL
GET TALKBACK TALLY CAMERA CONTROL AND MORE OVER SDI
The Blackmagic Video Device Embedded Control Protocol is an advanced open communication protocol that takes advantage of blanking space in the SDI data stream to add talkback tally and other camera control information direct to the camera via the program return feed. ATEM Switchers support and broadcast this protocol to all the cameras from all outputs on the switcher so you can remote control all your cameras and change settings balance color adjust focus and more. That means you don't need expensive external and complicated systems from other companies. The Blackmagic control protocol is an open standard and is supported by multiple manufacturers plus its also documented in the ATEM switcher manual. That means anyone can create custom solutions that are compatible with switchers cameras and more from Blackmagic Design.

BUILT IN TALLY
ALWAYS KNOW WHICH CAMERA IS ON AIR
The back of the Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder features a large tally light that illuminates red for on-air green for preview and orange for ISO recording. As the director cuts between cameras on the ATEM switcher tally information is sent back to the camera over SDI so the light is lit when the camera is on the air. In addition the URSA Studio Viewfinder also includes clip-on transparent camera numbers that attach to the tally light making it easy to see camera numbers from up to 20 feet away.
