+JBG TRAVELS you can definitely feed the v1hd into it and record to an SD card. As for a micro card, I'm not sure. You'll need a fast one! I'm also unsure if you could plug it into your phone as it only records in ProRes or DNxHD. There is no MP4 recording so you'll not be able to access the files on the SD card!

Thank you.

That is not possible. Whatever comes out of the HDMI output on the ATEM is what you will record on the Video Assist. The "solution" is to get a ATEM Mini Extreme with 2 HDMI outputs, alternatively you can record to SSD on your ATEM Mini Pro.

Love your series, we are looking to expand our Video Department to include some live broadcasting, and your Show and Tell videos have been incredibly helpful. You commented on it briefly at the end of this video, but from what I gather the BM Video Assist can actually help circumnavigate a DSLR's recording limit, then? That would allow us to clear a rather pesky hurdle, since we primarily shoot on two Canon 7D's.

It'll just keep recording until the card fills up! Thanks :)

How loud is the fan noise of the 5 inch Blackmagic Video Assist? I need a 5-inch monitor for my shoulder rig setup. I've tried the shogun flame which is too heavy for my c200b rig and too noisy for a camera mounted mic. I'm trying to decide between the Blackmagic 5-inch, ninja v, smallhd, and other available options. I will meanly use it to monitor since the c200b can't output 4k 10 bit signal. It only supports 10-bit hd via hdmi and sdi, and 10-bit 2k via sdi output. Thanks for helping!
@heretorecord6 жыл бұрын
I now have the BMD 5" and the Ninja V - Both have similar noise levels so far. Not sure which might be best for your setup, but I would say the Ninja V features (on screen displays etc) are a huge plus for me!

Thanks much for the reply! I've found the smallhd focus to be compact and in this case perfect for my rig. It has no built in fan, while the size and image quality are also good for monitoring.

The C200 does offer much output options, and I would like the recoding feature but not a must for my workflow. Thanks again for helping out!@@heretorecord

+sleeping creativity that is often true as the internal Record of a camera can be heavily compressed, whereas the camera will output an uncompressed signal through the HDMI output.

Good and informative video! But from my own experience I'm not so happy with the Blackmagic monitor. It's makes a lot of noise. Not only when you change the format, but all the time. It's not only the fan sound but a small high frequency noise from the batteries or power supply. And I don't think the picture quality is that good.. It's hard to tell when it is in focus and not just from the image, without peaking, because the quality is a bit off. Blackmagic does not sell accessories like carry bags for it, or sun protectors. For the price, it is an ok monitor, but not the best monitor I have used...
@heretorecord7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment - I must say that I have had a very different experience with my unit. Yes, there is a small fan noise when turning on and switching formats, but asides from that I've never heard the fan at all. Nor have I heard the high-frequency noise so you might have gotten a bad one :( Coming from using a smartview duo, this was a huge bump in improvement for me, so focusing and picture quality was (by contrast) much better on this monitor. That said, I wish I got the 7" version as getting perfect focus would have been a lot easier. Maybe you have found a good monitor for a similar price (that also records) as I'd love to know!

Hi, I have just bought the Video Assist 12G HDR. It is a very well-made piece of equipment and I'd love to keep it BUT it has one enormous flaw and this is in its playback. For example, if you record one clip from a 1080p25 fps source you can view it no problem. If you then record a clip at, say, 1080p29 fps you won't be able to see the first one any more! The clip browsing is bad enough (you have to tab through all your clips - there is no list of files) but this crazy bug means that half the functionality - i.e. it's ability to play back - is severely compromised. It also has a discrepency in the number of files that it list on the menus. In the media menu it gives the correct number but on the main screen the number it gives you is actually only the number of files recorded in the same format as the most recently recorded clip. I have detailed this problem here: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=132775 Please Mr Here to Record - if you have any influence with BlackMagic please will you ask them to fix this bug. (For those of you who see this in the future, the software version on my Video Assist is currently 3.3.1)
