This advanced studio viewfinder is designed to turn URSA‑series digital film cameras into fully capable broadcast units suitable for live production, multicam studio setups and demanding event environments. Its large 7‑inch display provides a bright and easily visible image that remains clear even under strong lighting conditions, making it well suited for use on sets illuminated by powerful studio fixtures. Paired with genuine broadcast‑style controls, it delivers the responsiveness and familiarity that camera operators expect when working in a professional live environment.
The viewfinder attaches securely to the camera via an adjustable mounting mechanism that allows smooth repositioning to match operator height and angle requirements. This ensures comfortable operation during long‑form broadcasts or extended studio sessions. It integrates directly with URSA bodies through the camera’s SDI viewfinder output and power connection, enabling a streamlined setup that requires no additional cabling or adapters. The rugged mechanical design is engineered to withstand constant repositioning and the unique stresses of on‑set use, while maintaining stable alignment during demanding moves such as pedestal operation, jib work or handheld transitions.
Its operational controls are deliberately placed and sized to emulate traditional broadcast viewfinders. Dedicated knobs for brightness, contrast and focus peaking allow instant tactile adjustments without needing to access menus, helping operators react quickly during live productions. The viewfinder offers a professional‑grade sunshade that enhances visibility in brightly lit studio spaces or outdoor broadcast situations, ensuring consistent viewing regardless of environmental conditions. The generous screen size assists camera operators in performing accurate framing, critical focus checks and smooth on‑air camera moves.
Designed to work seamlessly across the entire URSA Mini Pro lineup, it complements the modular nature of the system by expanding the camera’s functionality into live television and multi‑camera environments. When combined with accessories such as the URSA Mini Shoulder Mount Kit or studio fiber converters, the viewfinder becomes a key component in transforming a cinema‑grade camera into a robust broadcast machine capable of handling concerts, news studios or sports coverage. Built to professional standards and delivering a monitoring experience tailored to broadcast operation, this viewfinder is an essential upgrade for any URSA‑based studio installatiom.
