Blackmagic Design announced Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF, a new model of the advanced digital film camera which adds a high-performance optical low pass filter to the 12K Super 35 image sensor. The OLPF reduces artifacts such as moire and aliasing, while preserving the color and critical image detail Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K is renowned for. Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF is available immediately from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide for US$6,385.

Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K has a 12,288 x 6480 12K Super 35 sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range, built into the award-winning URSA Mini body. The combination of 80 megapixels per frame, new color science, and the flexibility of Blackmagic RAW makes working with 12K a reality, the company claims.  Customers can shoot at 60 fps in 12K, 120 fps in 8K and up to 240 fps in 4K Super 16. URSA Mini Pro 12K features an interchangeable PL mount, as well as built-in ND filters, dual CFast and UHS-II SD card recorders, a SuperSpeed USB-C expansion port and more.
