What this kit does and who uses it
The Blackmagic Design Video Assist 3G 7" Recorder Monitor Kit adds professional monitoring and high-quality recording to your camera. It features a bright 7-inch 1920x1200 display with 310 nits brightness for framing and focus. The unit records up to 1080p60 10-bit 4:2:2 video and 16 channels of 24-bit 48 kHz audio via SDI or HDMI. Two balanced 3-pin mini-XLR inputs with 48V phantom power support external microphones.
Check your camera and media before ordering
Your camera must output video over 3G-SDI or HDMI to match the monitor's inputs. Recording requires SDXC or SDHC memory cards compatible with dual UHS-I slots for Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD codecs. A USB Type-C port handles firmware updates and configuration; update 3.3.1 enables webcam video output and XLR audio mapping. The kit includes an NP-F770 lithium-ion battery and AC/DC charger for power.
Build quality and daily connector use
The 7-inch screen delivers 1920x1200 resolution at 310 nits for clear viewing in varied lighting. Dual SD card slots allow continuous recording or backup without opening a door. Mini-XLR connectors with 48V phantom power let you run professional microphones directly. SDI and HDMI ports handle both input and output for flexible monitoring chains. The USB Type-C port serves for firmware, configuration, and webcam conversion.

Questions about this item
What comes in the kit and what must be purchased separately?
The bundle includes the 7 inch 1920x1200 monitor, an NP-F770 battery, an AC/DC charger, and a 6 foot HDMI cable. SDXC or SDHC memory cards for recording must be bought separately.
Which recording format should I choose between Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD?
Choose Apple ProRes HQ, 422, LT or Proxy for broad NLE compatibility on macOS and Windows. Choose Avid DNxHD for native Avid Media Composer workflows. Both support 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 1080p60.
What does the 310 nits brightness mean when monitoring outdoors?
At 310 cd/m² the 7 inch screen is readable in shaded or indoor environments but will appear dim in direct sunlight; a hood is recommended for bright conditions.
