Post Production Friendly File Formats!
Video Assist records in standard 10-bit ProRes or DNx and 12-bit Blackmagic RAW (on HDR models), ensuring compatibility with all major post software—no transcoding needed. Files work across all operating systems, and developers can use the free Blackmagic RAW SDK for added support.
Record Direct to External USB‑C Media Disks
Video Assist 12G models feature a USB-C port for recording directly to high-capacity flash disks or SSDs via MultiDock 10G. Record high-data rate Ultra HD, manage disks with touchscreen menus, and even edit from the same drive—eliminating time-consuming file copies in post.
Outputs to USB Webcam for Live Streaming!
Video Assist 12G HDR models now support live streaming via USB webcam mode! Just plug into a computer for full 1080p HD in software like OBS, Zoom, Skype, Facebook Live, YouTube, Twitch, and more—delivering seamless broadcast-quality video to all major platforms.
Advanced HDR Models Include 12G‑SDI and HDMI 2.0!
The Video Assist 12G 5" model offers Ultra HD via 12G-SDI, plus HDMI for cameras and monitoring. Record extended sessions directly to external USB-C flash disks or SSDs, and power up with the reliable 12V DC connector, making it a compact yet powerful tool for professional production.
