Nevermind, it's a 12K Ursa Mini Pro... was not expecting that.

12K/60fps, 8K/110fps full sensor downscale. S35. Constant 5:1 compression ratio regardless of frame rate.

*NOT* bayer pattern, but RGB proprietary sensor design (equal Red, Green, and Blue pixels.)

Sub-$10k

Still hasn't hit the news anywhere. 12K 60p. S35.

*laptop editable 12K.

Secondary recording to flash drive, + post file dump to USB-C flash drive from camera. To edit.

It’s not a bayer patterned sensor either.

If he does 9 streams of 12k playback in realtime, that'd be uhhh... oouf.

Me neither! The new SDK 1.8 was included in Davinci Resolve 16.2.4.

Here is the video if this helps

Does not have double green pixels as a bayer does.

Not sure of the ramifications of that. (Is this what Sony did on the F65?)

because it is symmetrical you can choose resolutions all at full S35 size.

Can record to flash drive with USB-C cable - as previous cameras - with whatever cable issues that entails. However there is also an SSD holder that mounts on back of camera like the older one between camera and battery plate. Short USB-C cable that is provided has a screw that locks it in place on camera and the holder.

No cropping as you change resolution. 12K, 8K or 4K. All the same field of view.
