Plugging in Power
Getting started with your Blackmagic Video Assist is as simple as plugging in power,
connecting your video source, plugging in your audio and inserting an SD card.
To supply power, plug in the supplied power adapter to your video assist’s power input on
the right side panel. On the 12G models, you can secure the connector to the video assist to
prevent accidental disconnection.
To power on the unit, press the power button on the right side panel. Press and
hold to power off.
Connect external power to the +12V power input.
Press the power button to turn the unit on.
TIP The supplied power cable included with Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR
features a locking connector to prevent disconnection, but you can also use any 36W
12V power cable to power the video assist.
