This combination makes it a particularly relevant tool on demanding shoots where reliable image control is essential, whether you work in cinema setups, live capture, or mobile control rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond simple monitoring, it positions itself as a true production hub: it centralizes image, analysis (scopes), and recording in codecs recognized by post-production houses, while maintaining a compact form factor suited for rigs, cages, and onboard configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and Use Cases: Filming, Live, and Broadcast-Quality External Capture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis monitor-recorder is aimed at directors of photography, camera operators, DITs, videographers, and content creators who want to \u003cstrong\u003esecure exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e and colorimetry on set while recording a file immediately ready for editing. It is also very comfortable in live environments: SDI and HDMI inputs\/outputs allow easy integration into a capture chain, and its HDR monitoring helps maintain a consistent image when working in REC 709 or REC 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the camera used, the Video Assist can also become a \u003cstrong\u003eBlackmagic RAW capture\u003c\/strong\u003e solution as an external recorder, convenient for gaining grading flexibility and optimizing storage thanks to Constant Bitrate and Constant Quality modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHDR Display, Modern Recording, and Image Control: A Complete Production Assistant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA 5-inch Full HD Screen Designed for Decision-Making\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts 1920 x 1080 screen with P3 gamut, combined with 2500 nits brightness, is tailored for situations where a standard monitor becomes hard to read. Compatibility with \u003cstrong\u003eHDR10\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHLG\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as HDR grids on scopes, allow finer evaluation of highlights and dynamic range while keeping concrete references for broadcast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eScopes, 3D LUTs, and Overlays: On-Set Control Without Accessories\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Video Assist includes essential scopes (waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, RGB histogram) and display modes adapted for shooting: PiP, overlay information, and opacity adjustment. You can also work with \u003cstrong\u003e3D LUTs\u003c\/strong\u003e to preview a look, harmonize multiple cameras, or validate a grading intent directly on location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAn External Recorder Tailored for Post-Production\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding files, the device records in \u003cstrong\u003eApple ProRes\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDNxHR\u003c\/strong\u003e, widely used standards in editing and grading, as well as in \u003cstrong\u003eBlackmagic RAW\u003c\/strong\u003e (depending on camera compatibility). Support for multiple quality variants (422 HQ, LT, Proxy, DNxHR HQX, SQ, LB, etc.) allows adapting bitrate to the project: fiction, documentary, event, or web content.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUHS-II SD Card Support and SSD Recording via USB Type-C\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo handle the bitrates of demanding formats, the \u003cstrong\u003eUHS-II SD slot\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a compact solution, while the \u003cstrong\u003eUSB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1\u003c\/strong\u003e enables direct recording to external drives. This is a tangible advantage for long takes or multi-card shoots: you gain autonomy, faster offloading, and production continuity. The USB Type-C also serves for installation, updates, control via the utility, and webcam output to simplify certain streaming setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e2160p60\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eExternal power supply, Rechargeable battery\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSD Card\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5 \u0026quot;color touch screen\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSDI, HDMI\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e410 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSDI, USB-C, HDMI\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e148 x 90 x 36\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:15;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSDI Inputs\/Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1 x Micro BNC input;
