Blackmagicdesign Video Assist Installation And Operation Manual page 15

SDI/HDMI
This setting will set your Blackmagic 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'.
Source
Displays the connected SDI or HDMI input source. The unit will use the first source connected.
If you have another source connected, your Blackmagic Video Assist will swap over to the other
if the signal from the original source is lost for a brief period of time. This can be useful for
redundancy if you need to run a back up signal.
Card
Displays the status of the SD card currently selected in the storage settings.
Blackmagic Video Assist 4K has 2 SD card slots. To choose a card to record to:
1 Tap the 'card' status or swipe the touchscreen left or right to open the
'storage' settings.
2 In the storage settings simply tap the 'card 1' or 'card 2' icon near the top left of the
touchscreen.
You can also format your cards in the storage settings by tapping the 'format card' icon
underneath the information for each card.
