Setup Settings
The ‘setup’ tab contains your URSA Broadcast's identification settings, software version,
function button settings and other camera settings not directly linked to recording or
monitoring. This menu has four pages, which you can cycle through by tapping the arrows at
the edge of the LCD touchscreen, or swiping left or right.

The first page of your URSA Broadcast's 'setup' tab contains the following settings.
Setup menu on URSA Broadcast
Date and Time
Set your URSA Broadcast's date and time by tapping the ‘date and time’ setting. The date
format is year, month, day and the time format is 24 hour. Your URSA Broadcast's date and time
are also used for time of day timecode if an external timecode source is not connected.
Language
Tap the ‘language’ setting to change the language of your URSA Broadcast's menus and status
text. English is the only currently available language but more are planned for upcoming
software updates.
Timecode Drop Frame
Use the ‘timecode drop frame’ option to use drop frame timecode when using NTSC project
frame rates of 29.97 and 59.94. Drop frame timecode drops a small number of frames from the
timecode at set intervals. This keeps your project timecode accurate despite each second not
containing a whole number of frames at NTSC frame rates.
Shutter Measurement
Tap the 'shutter measurement' button to change between shutter speed and shutter angle as a
unit of shutter measurement. It's important to note that both shutter measurements effect
motion blur, but work in slightly different ways. See the 'touchscreen controls' section of this
manual for a full explanation of shutter measurement.
Flicker Free Shutter Based On
Use this setting to change the mains power frequency your URSA Broadcast uses to calculate
flicker free shutter settings.
When shooting under lights, your shutter speed can effect the visibility of flicker. Your
URSA Broadcast will automatically calculate flicker free shutter speeds for your current frame
rate and display suggestions in the ‘shutter speed' menu. These speeds are effected by the
frequency of the local mains power supply used to drive those lights. In most PAL countries, this
frequency is 50Hz, while NTSC countries typically use 60Hz power. Simply tap ‘50Hz’ or ‘60Hz’
to set the right frequency for your region.
