No card
This indicator is displayed when there is no card inserted in the selected SD card slot.
Card full
The ‘card full’ indicator will flash for approximately three minutes prior to stopping
record when an SD card has used its maximum recording space.
When your card is full, the indicator will turn solid red and the recording will stop. Your
Video Assist will then save the last recorded file.
If you have a formatted card in slot 2 of Blackmagic Video Assist 4K, the unit will
automatically switch over to slot 2 and continue recording to your second card.
Record Time Remaining
While in playback mode, the status indicator will display the record time remaining
foryour SD card.
Battery Level Remaining
Displays the amount of power remaining in your batteries. Tap the battery icon to open a larger
display with more precise information about your battery levels.
During operation, your Video Assist will use the battery with the lowest charge first, then swap
over to the other when depleted without interruption. When recharging batteries, both will
charge simultaneously. Batteries will take approximately 3 hours to fully charge when not in use
depending on battery type and conditions.
On Blackmagic Video Assist, two fully charged Canon LP-E6 batteries will supply power for
approximately 180 minutes of record time. Blackmagic Video Assist 4K will run on two fully
charged batteries for approximately 80 minutes of record time.
Zoom
The zoom feature lets you zoom into your image so you can carefully check your focus when
connected to a camera, or study fine details in your video image. The zoom feature can be
used when framing a shot before recording, or during playback, but is disabled while
recording a clip.
To turn the zoom feature on, simply tap the zoom icon located underneath the battery level
remaining indicator. To turn zoom off, tap the icon again. The zoom feature can be used when
monitoring Ultra HD or HD video.
