This is my introduction to the Blackmagic Design URSA Broadcast. Mention various features and design issues, and then see how well it compares to a Panasonic GH4 when it comes to chromatic aberration, edge focus, and other issues that can plague cameras trying to leverage B4 lenses for 4K.

I have a couple tests including a darker background with specular highlights (metal chain in the sun) as well as a bright background (sunlit cloud) with darker, detailed foreground (bare tree limbs) to provide a stress test for the magenta / cyan fringing common with chromatic aberration in B4 lenses. Does the URSA Broadcast's optical correction fix the problem? Well, I have the footage here to show you.
