Trigger Record
This lets you start and stop recording triggered by information received over the SDI or
HDMI connection. Tap on the 'trigger rec' icon on the upper status bar to select your trigger
record option. On 12G video assist models turn on trigger recording via the 2nd page of the
'record' tab on the dashboard menu.
None
To disable trigger recording, select 'none' or 'never'.
Video start/stop
This setting will set your video assist to start and stop recording when you press the record start
and stop button on your camera.
For SDI/HDMI start/stop trigger recording you will need to use a camera that can trigger the
record function via HD-SDI or HDMI.
Cameras which support trigger recording may include menu options such as 'trigger rec',
HD-SDI remote I/F' or 'SDI remote start/stop trigger'.
Timecode Run
When timecode run is selected, your video assist will start recording as soon as it 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 SDI start/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 is set differently, for example time of day timecode, the timecode is
always running and will continuously trigger the recording on your video assist.
Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR contains additional timecode functions via the 'setup' tab of
the dashboard menu.

Timecode Input
There are three timecode input options available when recording.
Video Input
Selecting video input will take the embedded timecode from SDI and HDMI sources with
embedded SMPTE RP 188 metadata. This will maintain sync between your SDI or HDMI source
and the file recorded on your video assist.
