MID49 URSA Cine Power Distribution Box First Look at Cine Gear 2025

At Cine Gear 2025 in Los Angeles, MID49 was showing a prototype of its upcoming Blackmagic Design URSA Cine Power Distribution box.

The high-voltage power distribution box will accommodate Anton Bauer 26V batteries and Core SWX dual voltage and provide 28V to the camera.

It features an 8-pin DC input so you can plug in a block battery. There are also 2x 2-pin LEMO (15V), and 2x D-taps (15V), and there is also pass-through power available on the 3-pin Fisher outputs. There is also the ability to use the ARRI run/stop signal protocol. MID49 can do this by plugging a USB-C cable into the URSA Cine LF.

Pricing & Availability

The URSA Cine Power Distribution Box should be available within the next few months, and it will retail for around $950-$1,000 USD.
