Blackmagic Design Video Assist 5" HDMI/6G-SDI Recorder Monitor

The Blackmagic Design Video Assist HDMI/6G-SDI Recorder and 5" Monitor provides professional monitoring and high quality recording to any camera via the SDI and HDMI input. The 5” full resolution HD monitor ensures perfect focus and framing for your shot. The professional ProRes and DNxHD recorder uses high speed SD cards and saves files compatible with modern NLE software. The touchscreen allows settings, histogram, audio meters, timecode display and much more. The monitor features slots for dual LP-E6 batteries.

Professional HD and Ultra HD Recorder
The 5” Video Assist records all HD formats up to 1080p60. You get incredible looking, broadcast quality 10-bit, 4:2:2 ProRes or DNxHD files that work with all major editing software so you can start editing without having to convert them! Recording can be automatically triggered from SDI and HDMI so you can stay focussed on getting the shot, without having to worry about operating additional gear! 

Records to High Speed SD Card
Both 5" model records HD video using standard SD memory cards. By connecting Video Assist to your existing camera, you can eliminate proprietary and expensive media such as XDCAM, P2 and SxS. UHS-II cards are fully backwards compatible with regular SD card slots so you can just insert them into your computer to start editing the media immediately.

Better Monitoring
Blackmagic Video Assist has a bright 5” display so you don’t have to carry extra monitors and scopes on set! The large screens make it easy to see focus peaking and overlays such as histogram, audio meters, controls and more! You can mount it on cameras as a large crew monitor, hand it to the cinematographer for composing shots, or set it in front of the director to review each take. The screen has a wide 135º viewing angle, which means it’s easy to see, even when several crew members are watching. The image also auto rotates, so you can even rig it upside down!

Portable All-In-One Design
Designed to be durable and light weight, both models are incredibly small yet still incorporate large LCD monitors and touch screens. The 5-inch includes high speed SD card recorders and space for two rechargeable batteries, which are hot swappable so you never have to stop shooting. You can use the mounting points to attach it to the top of a camera, or use the built in kick stand to set it up on a table. It’s even comfortable enough to hold in your hands so you can pass it around to the crew.

Professional Connections
The compact design of the Blackmagic Video Assist includes HDMI and 6G-SDI so you can connect them to virtually any DSLR, prosumer or professional camera! The loop thru output lets you monitor on larger displays or projectors. The 12V universal power supply gives you continuous operation. When you’re on location, two side by side LP-E6 batteries give you enough power for longer shoots! The Blackmagic Video Assist 4K also features a LANC connector and two mini XLR inputs with 48V of phantom power for connecting microphones, along with a built in speaker that automatically mutes while recording!
