Frames Per Second
This setting displays the recording and playback speed of your connected video format in
frames per second.
Codec
Tap the ‘codec’ indicator to open the relevant settings, then tap the left or right arrow icons
tomake your selection. The codecs available are Apple ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422,
ProRes422LT and ProRes 422 Proxy. On Blackmagic Video Assist you can also record using
the DNxHD codec.
Timecode
The timecode counter displays the duration of your clips in hours:minutes:seconds:frames.
Trigger Record
Tap the ‘trigger record’ indicator to select between timecode run or SDI/HDMI trigger recording.
This lets you start and stop recording triggered by information received over the SDI or HDMI
connection. To disable trigger recording, select ‘never’.
T/C Run
When timecode run is selected, your Blackmagic Video Assist will start recording as soon asit
detects running timecode from your SDI or HDMI source. Recording will stop when the
timecode has ceased. This feature is useful when connecting cameras that don’t support
SDIstart/stop trigger recording. You may need to set your camera’s timecode setting to ‘record
run’ to make sure timecode only runs while your camera is recording. If your camera’s timecode
isset differently, for example time of day timecode, the timecode is always running and will
continuously trigger the recording on your Blackmagic Video Assist.
