Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K (PL) - Manual (Page 31)

6 You will be notified when the format is complete.
7 Tap ‘ok’ to return to the storage manager.
8 Tap ‘exit’ to leave the storage manager.
When formatting CFast cards, SD cards or SSDs using the storage manager, your URSA Mini will
use the Camera ID from the slate and reel number to name the card. Your URSA Mini
automatically increments reel numbers each time you format. If you need to manually enter a
specific reel number, tap the ‘edit reel number’ and enter the number you want to format
the card as.
When you start a new project, reel numbering will reset to 1 when you tap on ‘reset project data’
in the ‘project’ tab of the slate.
When URSA Mini SSD Recorder is connected and an SSD is loaded, the recorder takes over
from URSA Mini’s number ‘2’ storage slot and you’ll see an ‘SSD’ indicator over slot 2 on your
camera’s storage manager.
Preparing Media on Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro
The process for preparing storage media on your URSA Mini Pro is exactly the same as the
URSA Mini process outlined above. The only difference is the added option to format SD cards
in addition to CFast cards, SSDs, and USB-C flash disks on URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2. It’s worth
mentioning that if your camera’s media storage switch is set to SD or CFast, only the selected
card type will be formatted when you tap ‘format card’. When using URSA Mini SSD Recorder
with URSA Mini Pro or a USB-C flash disk with URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2, the SSD will appear in
slot 2 regardless of the position of the media storage switch.
The storage manager on your camera will indicate whether you are
currently managing CFast, SD, SSD or USB-C flash disk media
TIP If your URSA Mini Pro is set to record to SD cards and you have inserted a locked
card, you will be unable to format that card. A padlock icon will appear next to the
card’s name in the storage manager. Simply unlock the card to format and record.
For more information on locking SD cards, see the ‘SD cards’ section of this manual.
When formatting storage media on your URSA Mini Pro 4.6K you will be prompted to hold the
‘format’ button for 3 seconds. The camera will notify you once formatting is complete.
