Detailed features for your everyday production

The 4-in-1 wonder: monitoring, recording & analysis

The Video Assist 12G HDR combines four essential functions. It serves as a large-format viewfinder monitor that simplifies focusing and framing on set with helpful tools such as focus peaking and zebra displays. At the same time, it functions as a professional recorder that significantly improves the recording quality of older or consumer cameras through the use of high-quality codecs (ProRes, DNx and Blackmagic RAW). You also get a mobile scopes display to keep an eye on technical specifications at all times.

Bright HDR touchscreen for precise work

The 12G HDR models are equipped with an exceptionally bright LCD that fully supports the extended colour gamut of HDR formats (Rec. 2020). This brightness is a game changer for outdoor shooting, as you can maintain a clear image even in bright light. The intuitive touchscreen lets you control all functions, display overlays and use 3D LUTs to instantly visualise the final look – saving you a huge amount of time in the post-production pipeline.

Flexible storage and live streaming

For endless recording, the 12G models offer a USB-C expansion port. Connect external flash memory or SSDs to benefit from huge storage capacities and high speeds that are sufficient even for data-intensive Ultra HD formats. In addition, webcam support via USB makes Video Assist an ideal tool for live streaming or video conferencing by feeding the camera signal in full HD resolution into any popular streaming software.
