I am not personally sure why a camera should make any difference as I thought the content would be the deciding factor but there you go. Anyway, Blackmagic Design’s Ursa Cine 12K LF model has been added to the Netflix Approved Camera List.
Apparently Netflix requires 90% of a program’s final total runtime to be captured on approved cameras, which now includes the URSA Cine 12K LF alongside the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 and Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF.
Officially titled “Cameras and Image Capture: Requirements and Best Practices”, the list highlights the capture requirements necessary to be qualified as an approved camera by the streamer, including dynamic range, resolution, codec, workflow compatibility and more.
