Video Assist 5” 3G combines a portable monitor, professional HD recorder, scopes and a high-quality alternative viewfinder in one compact device.

SDI and HDMI connectivity adds a larger touchscreen, focus assist, zebra, false colour, histogram and other tools for confident focus and exposure.

10-bit Apple ProRes and Avid DNx recording provides higher quality than the internal codecs of many cameras, with files ready to open directly in an NLE.

Waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade and histogram can be displayed directly on the monitor without a separate measuring instrument.

The Blackmagic Video Assist 5” 3G is a versatile monitor and recorder that requires a reliable Sony NP-F battery and high-quality SD recording media to operate. To fully utilize its potential, it is recommended to pair it with compatible cameras featuring HDMI/SDI output and professional post-production software for processing captured ProRes and DNxHD recordings.
