5-inch 1920x1080 HDR monitor-recorder

The Blackmagic Video Assist 5" 12G HDR combines a 2500nit touchscreen with a built-in SD card recorder. It accepts 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0a signals up to 4K DCI formats. Recordings are saved as 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes or DNx files ready for immediate editing. Professional scopes, 3D LUT support, focus assist and exposure tools are integrated for accurate shot framing.

For camera operators needing on-set monitoring

Suits videographers who require a bright daylight-viewable display and broadcast-quality capture from SDI or HDMI sources. Operators needing multi-channel audio capture benefit from 16 embedded channels over SDI and 8 over HDMI. Those requiring internal raw recording, larger screen sizes or battery mounting options not listed here should consider alternatives.

Adds monitoring and recording to existing SDI

Connects via a single Micro BNC for 12G-SDI or a full-size HDMI 2.0a port for video and embedded audio. The unit records to standard SD cards, freeing the camera from external recorder cabling. Files use common ProRes or DNx codecs so post-production can begin without transcoding. Power and mounting accessories are required separately.

Questions about this item

What camera outputs are needed to connect to the 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0a inputs on this monitor?

Your camera must provide either a 12G-SDI signal via Micro BNC or an HDMI 2.0a signal to feed the monitor's two video inputs.

Will the recorder accept footage from a camera that only outputs 1080p over SDI?

Yes, the recorder captures all HD, Ultra HD, 2K and 4K DCI formats, so a 1920x1080 SDI feed records without conversion.

How can I verify the 2500nit HDR screen is displaying the correct brightness after setup?

Enable the built-in professional scopes and compare the measured nits against the 2500nit specification while viewing HDR test patterns.
