Choosing a USB-C Flash Disk
Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR features a high speed USB-C expansion port, which allows
you to record video directly to USB-C flash disks or SSD’s via Blackmagic MultiDock 10G and
also to perform software updates. USB-C flash disks are fast, high capacity drives allow you to
record video for long periods, which can be important when filming events or interviews.
Once you have finished recording you can connect the same drive directly to your computer
forediting and post production, without having to copy media across.
To connect to a USB-C flash disk:
1 Connect one end of a USB type-C cable to your USB-C flash disk.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the USB-C port on the base of your
12G video assist.
