Blackmagic's 7-inch HDR monitor-recorder with 12G-SDI and HDMI, supporting up to 2160p60 ProRes recording.
The Blackmagic Video Assist 7" 12G HDR is a professional on-camera monitor and recorder combining a bright 7-inch HDR touchscreen with recording capabilities up to 2160p60 in ProRes or DNxHR. It serves as both a high-quality monitoring and recording solution for cinema cameras.
The 2200-nit HDR display is visible in direct sunlight and supports both HDR and SDR monitoring with built-in 3D LUT support. Records to standard USB-C flash drives in ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, or DNxHR formats. 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs handle all common camera outputs.
Dual USB-C recording slots for relay recording. Built-in scopes including waveform, vectorscope, histogram, and false colour. Tally light and ATEM switcher integration. NP-F or LP-E6 battery compatible. 3.5mm headphone output for audio monitoring.
Available used at mid-range prices. Check touchscreen for dead pixels or damage. Verify USB-C drive recording stability — some drives are not compatible. The 5-inch version is more portable. An excellent addition to any cinema camera setup for both monitoring and backup recording.
