Thanks for the review! This is a monitor I’m interested in. I currently use the Atomos Shinobi SDI with my EVA1. I like the monitor (especially having the SDI because it lets me use the square peaking option from the EVA1... for some reason the box peaking doesn’t work with HDMI) but it does run a bit hot! I don’t feel the need to have an extra backup of my recordings yet... and the battery life with the Shinobi is good with the large Sony battery. Still... I might pick one of these monitors up one day! We will see.

One thing I hope BM add is remote control of the P4k/P6k via HDMI like they did on the ATEM Mini ! (I wish all touch screen Monitor add this feature actually hehe). This would allow a clean feed from the camera YET keeping the OSD informations, and it would allow for all angle touch screen support (including on camera zoom from the 4k/6k sensor). They might easily do that when you press the setting option, a popup occur asking if we want to configure the monitor or the pocket. And routing feature so we can decide what is output via SDI or HDMI Out (Not sure if it passthough or not). If I were doing job where I wasn't responsible in the end of media offload, then it could be a problem it could be more interesting like you said, but I always end up with a copy of the media which is stored locally and uploaded to a server in a datacenter. As for disconnecting the monitor and bring it with you during lunch is really interesting... Right now, I bring my computer and do my own offload if needed during lunch, which I can wireless feed via the HDMI out my screen to multiple devices, but that bring the media to an unsecure location which isn't great (But fine for the short film stuff I'm doing). If BM implement the feature I said at the begining, I'm pretty sure I'll be buying one, but until then my current setup with 2200nit screen on camera does the job. One thing that worries me is those tiny SDI connector... I see larger SDI connector on camera being damaged and being intermittent, so I'm not sure about those tiny connector (I saw review from the Hyperdeck shuttle 2 that those SDI connector does get broken easily)

So yes a good monitor but not without its faults and the usb c port is in a stupid place why not on the side.

As for cameras and monitors (HDMI ports is what I hear mostly) shorting out, would it be something as simple and easy to as turning off/on the wrong thing in the wrong order? Like too much power being routed to something if something else is turned off? I've also heard, like you said, it tends to be a cheap cable issue, so... I want to run everything off a single V-Mount, but I'M SCARED! 😅

@Justin Phillip, Does the video assist support Luts? If it does you could hook it up to your computer and a color calibration tool to create a calibration LUT. The downside is, that you'd have to output your display LUT via the camera and toggle it on/off for recording. Maybe you could also create a combined LUT that includes both the calibration and the display LUT, but you'd have to test if that gives the desired result.

Also: I do not like the "legalize" workaround that Atomos has implemented on their monitor, ridding us of HLG/PQ monitoring in doing so. I will order the BM Video Assist this week. I am looking forward to being able to film in B-RAW with my S1H and grade in Davinci, which is not possible with Prores RAW. Also: the Prores RAW workflow is very convoluted in FCPX.

I do have one question. In your view, how much better do you consider the VA when it comes to focus assist compared to any 5" Atomos monitors you have/have used? A 7" high nit monitor clearly has advantages when it comes for focus peaking, but I haven't had the luxury of comparing such to a 5" monitor.
@JustinPhillip 4 жыл бұрын
Australian Image Well, i’ll put it this way. For my talking heads, and pulling focus of myself with my tilta nucleus nano, it’s easier for me to see it on the 5” video assist than it is to see it on my iPad Pro (which is larger than 7”) . Focus peaking turned on both btw. This HDR video assist is the sharpest, cleanest monitor i have ever used. And if you been on the channel for a bit, you know how many monitors i’ve tested out. 👌🏼

As an Atomos Shinobi owner, I can certainly agree that their products are not what they are cracked up to be (I detest mine). I especially doubt that its claimed 1000nits is anywhere near that value, given that its brightness is very close to one of my cheap Feelworld 450nit monitors. I have had to set the Shinobi to B&W mode recently just so that I can focus accurately in daylight. My Feelworld Ultra Bright 7" is miles ahead of the Shinobi, but I need a bright 5" monitor for my smaller rig so there's no point in getting another 7". I've been pondering the 12G VA 5" for a while and it sounds like it might be worth getting and, as I'm purely a BMPCC4K user, the SDI isn't of any value to me. I'm hoping that Blackmagic updates (or is able to update) the VA so that it can record BRAW from a P4K/P6K. That would be the icing on the cake.
@AustralianImage 3 жыл бұрын
A month has gone by and recently I decided to go for the Blackmagic 12G VA 5". What a difference! It makes the Shinobi look like a third rate, cheap piece of rubbish. What I'm especially cuffed about is the clarity of focus assist, even at half brightness it allows me to focus accurately, even on dimly lit subjects. As an aside, I have an Atomos coiled HDMI cable that doesn't play nicely with the VA, constantly losing signal, so I replaced it with a cheap flat cable and nary a problem. And Atomos has also designed the mains adapter so that it won't work on the VA. Coincidence or what?

I've help others on set with P4k, and one thing I've seen is people freaking out that it missing footage on their SSD drive and playback didn't work... Then for me to come in and open that Media card of the pocket and take out their SD Card in there ! Some USB-C Cable act weird which can cause issue depending of your operations. As for connector becoming damaged, that mostly operator error I would think, especially if it loose going up and down. If it goes in but just don't feel the resistance to keep it in, then that different. In my setup, I never touch the USB-C connector in camera, it permanently affixed to the Smallrig T5 holder, and I just pull out my T5 drive from it socket. This mean once the T5 drive get to the connector, it is always aligned correctly. Also even if it become lose, it not a problem (until I go the PC), but if it does become loose, it time to change the drive.

I was about to get a Shinobi then I remembered your video about the SmallHD 702. Now I'm seeing you've moved on again to the Blackmagic Assist. Can I ask for your recommendation for someone that mostly shoots one-man-band with my own BMPCC 4k, so I don't really need to DP on a lot of other people's cameras. Whatcha think?
@JustinPhillip 3 жыл бұрын
well, like i said at the end of the video, i've owned this one since February, and i'm still using it...that's the longest I've ever had any monitor. After you use this new HDR video assist, no other monitors are going to satisfy you the same. Maybe a smallHD Ultra Bright or OLED, but this blackmagic gives you more bang for your buck, IMO. Also, smallHD have horrible QC. Whereas Blackmagic are still fine tuning this new monitor, they just updated the firmware again a few days ago.

Hi Justin, great video. One question-I'm looking for someone to help me clarify one thing-I'm using BM 6K Pro with Video Assist 7" SDI connected via HDMI cable. As far as I have noticed I only get 1080/24 on Apple ProRes codecs! No BM Raw, no 4K! Is there a workaround around this-I'd need at least 4K/48. Can it be done with the BM Micro converters HDMI-SDI?

I am researching monitors myself. Watching reviews of Atomos they mentioned problems with "ground loops" also when powering more than one device from the V-Mount batteries. I do not understand it all either and have not seen yet any scientific explanation from anyone, say, for example, a video device or electrical engineer. I am not an electrical engineer, but an engineer, and I am guessing there is some stray voltage leaking somewhere when combined with certain devices and certain configurations, which can go over the "internal resistance limit" of what some device can handle. So perhaps the problem is also due to some poorer quality devices being attached to the configuration? It is difficult to imagine that it is just an internal design problem.
