The Blackmagic Design Video Assist 5'' 3G is a portable monitor, professional recorder, waveform scope, and camera viewfinder built into one on-camera unit. It's aimed at shooters who want to upgrade any HDMI or SDI camera with better recording codecs and a bigger, more usable screen than a built-in display provides. Four built-in scopes and focus assist tools add professional monitoring features to cameras that otherwise lack them. Records ProRes and DNx to 1080p60: Records Apple ProRes and Avid DNx codecs up to 1080p60 from either HDMI or SDI camera sources. 5" Touchscreen with Focus Tools: A large, bright touchscreen provides focus peaking, zebras, histogram, false color, and frame guides for accurate framing and focus. 4 Built-In Scopes: Includes waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, and histogram scopes for exposure and color-correction accuracy. 3D LUT Support: Applies 17- or 33-point 3D LUTs for monitoring, with the option to bake the LUT into recorded files. L-Series Battery for Longer Life: Uses L-series batteries for extended runtime compared to earlier Video Assist models. Digital Slate with Auto-Incrementing Metadata: A swipe-activated digital slate can auto-increment take and reel numbers for faster editing metadata.
