Blackmagic Design Video Assist 3G-SDI/HDMI 5" Recorder/Monitor

Enhance your camera setup with professional monitoring and high-quality recording using the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 3G-SDI/HDMI 5" Recording Monitor. Featuring a bright 5-inch Full HD display, this compact monitor helps you frame, focus, and record with confidence while supporting both professional and consumer cameras. The 1920 × 1080 touchscreen display delivers clear image monitoring with 300 cd/m² brightness, while 3G-SDI micro-BNC and HDMI inputs allow you to record video directly from compatible cameras. Capture video at resolutions up to 1080p60 in 10-bit 4:2:2 quality, along with up to 16 channels of embedded 24-bit/48 kHz audio for professional production workflows.

Firmware version 3.3.1 expands functionality by enabling USB-C video output for webcam conversion, allowing compatible cameras to be used as webcams. It also adds selectable audio monitoring channels for greater control during recording. Recording is supported on SDXC and SDHC memory cards via a UHS-I SD card slot, while the USB-C port can be used for monitor configuration and software updates. Industry-standard Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD recording formats provide compatibility with professional post-production workflows.
