Charging your Batteries
L-series batteries are very common and used in a variety of video equipment. This also
means there is a wide variety of chargers you can use to recharge your batteries.
These include a wall plug style charger with a single battery slot, or dual slot models
with an LCD screen that displays the charge status of your batteries. When selecting a
battery charger, it’s important to make sure it fits into your production workflow. For
example, some chargers are powered via USB so are convenient for when you are on
the go. Other chargers are mains powered so will suit studio and office locations.
The first time you power up your Blackmagic Video Assist you will be prompted to select
your language from the 11 available options. Tap on your selected language and then tap
‘update’. You can change your language settings at any time using the ‘setup’ tab of the
dashboard menu.
