Menu Settings - Blackmagic Design Video Assist Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

because microphones typically output a signal that is slightly weaker in strength compared to
equipment with line level output, so the signal is boosted slightly by your 7" video assist to
optimize the recording level. If you want to bypass the XLR analog inputs and maintain the
embedded SDI or HDMI channels 1 and 2 from your source video, select 'video'. On the 7"
12G model, audio meters below the source selection allow you to alter the level of either
XLR source.
NOTE Your video assist remembers your settings even after power cycling. Make sure
you reset your audio settings when changing your connections.
Pad XLR
If you are shooting in a noisy environment or near unpredictably loud sounds, you can set the
XLR padding feature to 'on'. This will drop your audio levels down by a small amount and give
you slightly more range in levels which may help you prevent clipping. If you are shooting in
normal audio conditions, set this feature to 'off'.
Phantom Power
When connecting microphones that are not self powered, you can power them using phantom
power via the XLR connector. Simply turn the setting to 'on'.
NOTE Make sure you have phantom power turned 'OFF' when using microphones that
are battery powered as some battery powered microphones can be damaged when
phantom power is supplied.
Record Audio Channels
Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR can record up to 16 channels of audio at a time. Select how
many channels of audio to record from 2 to 16 channels.

Monitor
Your video assist also features additional settings available via the tabbed menus.
If Card Drops Frame
Sometimes you may encounter dropped frames when using slower media, such as UHS-I
SD cards, to record higher rate formats. Depending on your workflow, you may want recording
to stop when dropped frames are encountered.
On Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR, do this by selecting 'stop recording'. If you want to
continue recording but be alerted if your storage drops a frame, select 'alert'. An exclamation
mark will appear in the lower right hand corner of the display.
Display 3D LUT
Tap the settings toggle switch to turn your selected display 3D LUT on or off. The display
3D LUT option will be disabled when no display LUT is selected. For information on how to load
a LUT, see the 'LUTs' tab in the dashboard menu later in this manual.
