Blackmagic Design Video Assist 3G 5" 1080p60 Video Capturing Device

SKU CH-4TA5-HTS48

A 5" touchscreen recorder and monitor with HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs that captures 1080p60 video to an SD card

  • Records 1080p60 via HDMI or 3G-SDI
  • 1920 x 1080 5" touchscreen for sharp monitoring
  • Four built-in scopes ensure accurate video levels
  • Focus assist and 3D LUTs speed up camera setup
  • Single SDXC/SDHC slot stores all footage

Portable 1080p60 recorder monitor

The Blackmagic Design Video Assist 3G 5" is a compact video capturing device that combines a 1920 x 1080 touchscreen LCD with professional recording capability. It accepts both HDMI and 3G-SDI signals and writes up to 1080p60 footage to a single SDXC or SDHC card. Built-in scopes, focus assist tools and 3D LUT support give camera operators immediate exposure and colour confidence on set. The unit mounts directly to a rig for use as an enlarged viewfinder or standalone field monitor.

For SDI/HDMI workflows up to 1080p60

This recorder suits camera crews, live-production teams and digital-cinema shooters who need a lightweight monitor-recorder with 3G-SDI and HDMI connectivity. It is not for workflows that require 4K capture, higher frame rates at 1080p, dual-card redundancy or raw recording over SDI. Users needing multi-channel audio embedding beyond the camera output or timecode sync via dedicated BNC should consider other solutions.

Records 1080p60 to SDXC/SDHC via 3G-SDI and HDMI

The single specification that determines fit is the maximum recording format: 1080p60 over 3G-SDI or HDMI onto one SDXC or SDHC card. If your production demands 4K, high-frame-rate 1080p or dual-slot backup, this model will not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Video Assist 3G 5" to my camera rig?

The unit includes a 1/4"-20 threaded mount on the bottom and side; the step often missed is tightening both the camera-side and monitor-side screws so the touchscreen stays level during handheld moves.

Which storage media will need replacement as cards wear out?

Recordings go to a single SDXC or SDHC card; plan to swap cards when write speeds drop below the sustained rate required for 1080p60 capture.

What recording limit appears first during long takes?

The 3G-SDI and HDMI inputs cap formats at 1080p60, so extended sessions are bounded by that 60 fps ceiling and the card's capacity.
