Recently, Blackmagic announced the Camera 8.1.2 update for Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2, which improves the response curve of the Blackmagic Zoom Demand, providing you with the option for more subtle and gradual movements of zoom lenses even when your zoom speed dial is set high, making it much easier to reframe your shot when on air subtly.

In addition, this update adds support for optional gamut compression in the record menu, which allows you to choose whether you want to limit the color gamut by desaturating extreme highlights or allow them to clip in a more saturated way. This control is particularly useful when shooting concerts and events with many extremely colored lights.
