HBO have their first production underway using the Blackmagic URSA 17K

Not a very good interview but the short and curly of it is

The URSA Cine 17K 65 retails for approximately US$29,995. In contrast, the Arri Alexa 65 is unavailable for purchase and must be rented, with high-end productions often spending hundreds of thousands on camera packages.

Which 17K displays will HBO customers be watching this on?

In the interview he says they are not shooting in 17K ( at 3.4 mins) its about the sensor size and focal length and resulting look.

At this point Blackmagic should just buy ARRI and take over 🙂

I really wish BMD would stop putting the maximum resolution in the product name!  I make these jokes too about my own UC 12K ("finally, something for you to play on your 12K TV!), but in reality, it's just a really nice 8K/4K camera which has a bonus 12K mode for...  mostly VFX shots.  😅
