Tally Light LED
12G video assist models include a tally light on the top that illuminates red when your video
assist is recording. This is a particularly useful feature when recording with a DSLR that does not
provide an option to display a tally light during recording. Toggle the option to turn tally
on or off.
LED Brightness
To set the brightness of the tally light LED, tap 'low,' 'medium,' or 'high.'
Setup Options on Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR
The following options are included with Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR in the setup tab of
the dashboard menu.
Audio Meters
Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR features two different audio meter display types.
VU
The VU meter, or 'volume units' meter, averages out short peaks and troughs in your audio signal.
If you are using VU metering, adjust the input levels on the Video assist so that the meter peaks
at the 0db indicator on the audio meter. This maximizes the signal to noise ratio and ensures your
audio is at the highest quality. If your audio peaks beyond the 0dB indicator there is a high risk of
sound distortion.
PPM
PPM meters, or 'peak program meters' displays a 'peak hold' feature that momentarily holds the
signal peaks and a slow fall back so you can easily see where your audio is peaking.
Both VU and PPM meters are available at reference levels of -18dB or -20dB so you can monitor
your audio to suit different international broadcasting standards. To adjust your input levels via
the touchscreen, tap on the audio meter in the bottom right corner.
Filename Prefix
Edit the filename of your recorded files by tapping the 'edit' pencil icon. A touchscreen
keyboard will appear letting you type in a new name.
