The compact design of the Blackmagic Video Assist includes HDMI and 6G-SDI inputs so you can record from virtually any video camera or DSLR. The loop through output lets you monitor on larger HD broadcast displays or HDMI projectors. Audio can be monitored from the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and for studio shoots, the 12V universal power supply gives you continuous operation. When you’re on location the two side by side LP-E6 battery slots let you go completely mobile and give you enough power for longer shoots!
High Speed SD Card
Low cost, high performance storage
The built in recorder uses SD memory cards which are even fast enough to capture and playback high frame rate 1080 HD video at 60 frames per second! That means you can use low cost removable media that’s less than $1 per GB. SD cards are readily available and allow you to record up to 3 hrs of 1080p24 ProRes HQ on a single 256GB card! By connecting the Blackmagic Video Assist to your existing camera, you can eliminate proprietary and expensive media such as XDCAM, P2 and SxS. SD cards can even be mounted directly on your computer, so you don’t have to deal with external card readers or docking units!
On-set monitoring, recording and playback!
The Blackmagic Video Assist is the perfect accessory for any camera because it gives you everything you need to properly frame, focus and capture your shots! Any production using a DVCPRO, HDCAM or even a brand new full frame DSLR camera will instantly benefit from the larger high resolution screen and can use it to record professional quality ProRes or DNxHD video with full 10 bit quality. If you’re using a true digital film camera, like the Blackmagic URSA, you can use the Video Assist to record HD while your camera simultaneously records RAW, allowing you to future proof every production and still quickly deliver incredible quality HD today.
DSLR Assist
Improve the quality of your DSLR shots!
The latest full frame DSLR cameras used with high quality photo lenses can shoot incredible stills but the quality of the video recorded is limited by the heavily compressed formats they use. The Blackmagic Video Assist takes HDMI directly out of your DSLR and bypasses the camera’s compression to record professional broadcast quality high definition video. The built in 5 inch LCD screen gives you a much larger monitor than the DSLR’s small Live View display so you can evaluate framing and focus with greater accuracy. The Blackmagic Video Assist will help you get the best possible quality from your DSLR!

Because the Blackmagic Video Assist records to standard, off the shelf, readily available and inexpensive SD cards, you no longer have to use expensive HDCAM tapes or strange custom media such as P2 cards and XDCAM discs!
