Storage Media
Ursa Broadcast uses CFast 2.0 cards or fast UHS-II and UHS-I SD cards to record Ultra HD,
2K or HD video.
CFast Cards
CFast 2.0 cards are capable of supporting very high data rates, so are perfect for recording
HD and 4K video at high frame rates. Refer to the record duration table in the ‘recording’
section for details on the maximum frame rates that can be recorded in each format.
Inserting a CFast Card
To record using CFast cards you need to set your camera accordingly. To do this, set the
storage media switch above the media slots to the 'CFAST' position.
