Now available to hire, the Blackmagic Video Assist 12G 4K60 HDR 5" inch monitor/recorder.

Now it’s easy to add professional monitoring and broadcast quality HD video and audio recording to any SDI or HDMI camera!
The new 12G HDR model builds on on the original, adding brighter screens for HDR work, tally indicator, 4 built in scopes, enhanced focus assist features, 3D LUTs, up to 4K internal recording and native Blackmagic RAW recording from supported cameras!

With a super bright 2500nit 5inch display that’s larger than the built in screen on most cameras, Video Assist makes it easier to frame your shots and get absolutely perfect focus!

The built in high speed UHS-II recorder uses commonly available SD cards to record HD video as professional 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes or DNxHD files. Unlike DSLRs, which record heavily compressed files that are hard to use with video software, Video Assist records professional, 10 bit broadcast quality files such as ProRes and DNxHR that are compatible with all leading video software so you can start editing immediately, without time wasting file conversions.

This model also includes a USB‑C Expansion port for external recording. USB‑C flash disks have massive capacity as they don't suffer from any size constraint and it also allows you to record direct to a drive which can be edited from - saving data transfer times

An additional helpful feature of this monitor is that it can be used as a signal converter, converting HDMI to SDI out and vice versa. We often use this on live event shoots when we need a monitor and a converter - this one unit does both.

This monitor is supplied with:

  • 1 x mains power adapter (UK)
  • 2 x Blackmagic micro bnc connector to BNC female adapter cable

If you need longer battery life (this unit is quite power hungry!) we have extra batteries or you can use a d-tap cable power the monitor from your rig batteries.

If you need more space for recording, we now offer a 2TB Samsung T7 SSD as an add-on.
