Blackmagic Design has released the Camera 6.9.3 update for the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K camera. The update improves the flexibility of RAW recordings, adds 11 languages, and provides new customizable frame guides. 

The firmware update affects the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K, G2, and URSA Broadcast cameras and adds support for Panasonic EVA1 Blackmagic RAW and Canon EOS C300 Mark II Blackmagic RAW clips captured by Blackmagic Video Assist, and improves upon the Blackmagic RAW Adobe Premiere Pro Plugin. 

The update also gives the ability to embed custom 3D LUTs in Blackmagic RAW clips. The LUTs can be directly embedded as metadata in the BRAW file. The custom look will be displayed on the camera monitor and any external monitors, creating a streamlined workflow from production to post. 

Embedded audio over SDI has been improved. The same for timecode sync over SDI. Jam sync timecode is maintained between power cycles. Shooters can also now choose between -18 or -20 dB audio alignment levels. Line level input signals can now be adjusted and Blackmagic Design says audio meters have improved ballistics. 

The HFR button can now be disabled, which, when bumped accidentally, would change the frame rate between shots. The VRT and return buttons on Cine‑servo PL and B4 lenses can be remapped as well, being able to disable the HFR button to prevent accidentally changing the frame rate between shots.

The update adds 1/3 stop ISO increments to the ISO slider and adds new 2:1, 1:1, and 5:4 frame guides, as well as a custom frame guide option. The operating languages included English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
