Locking and Unlocking SD Cards
SD cards can be write protected, or 'locked', to prevent data from being overwritten.
When inserting an SD card, make sure the card is not write protected. Write protection is
disabled by moving the plastic switch on the left side of the card to the position closest to
the connectors. After recording, you can then write protect the card by sliding the switch
back down to the bottom position.
Move the lock tab up or down
to lock or unlock an SD card
Your URSA Mini Pro will let you know if you've inserted a locked SD card by displaying a
'locked' icon on the LCD touchscreen and storage menu. If the card is locked, you won't be able
to record video, capture stills, or export LUTs and presets until it is unlocked.

USB-C flash disks
Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 features a high speed USB-C expansion port, which allows
you to record video directly to USB-C flash disks. URSA Mini Pro 12K has two USB-C ports.
The USB C 3.1 Gen 1 port on the side near the CFast card slots is for software updates. The port
on the rear panel near the SDI connectors is for recording to high speed SSDs via USB-C 3.1
Gen 2. These fast, high capacity drives allow you to record video for long periods, which can be
important when filming events with long durations.
When a USB-C flash disk is connected to your camera, it occupies the second media slot in
your camera's operating system. Tapping the card or drive name in the storage menu sets it as
the active drive. This means that recording, playback and storage management is exactly the
same for USB-C flash disks as it is for CFast, SD cards and SSDs.
