Black magic video assist 12g

Does the new video assist record braw with black magic cameras or just the two third party cameras?

AFAIK the URSA Mini 4.6 K is not supported... yet.

Has there been any word on when these will be available?

New 12g HDR Video Assist 7" release update

There is stock out now, Mine came yesterday, Software is very buggy especially audio.
I have attached it to a bmcc4k to test it, I can't change format at all. it just says 1080p25 through a 4k HDMI cable supposed to be able to change it but does nothing.

If processor power is the problem that's preventing BRAW on the original Ursa Mini 4.6K, and if the new video assists can provide that power, then Blackmagic should do whatever it can technically to make it happen and moderators should tell us on this forum what's going on either way.

Purchased the Blackmagic Video Assist 12G 7” today! Maybe I should have waited for more feedback, but prices are changing for no apparent reason so grabbed it at last year’s price while I can. Perhaps it won’t be perfect at this point, but if 24 fps works well, I’ll be happy. I’ll use one of my NP-F970 batteries to test it but that might have to wait until February to put it through its paces.

I have HDMI quality HD cables that I hope can carry a 4K signal. Does anyone know if they are likely to work or should I find new HDMI cables that are certified for 4K? I should look through the BMVA12G7 manual more carefully!

It's still on my Wish List. I do plan on buying one, but I may wait to be sure there isn't a Bluetooth Blackmagic Video Assist at NAB 2020. I'd really like to be able to control camera features from the the monitor.

Otherwise, my next to main Blackmagic purchase will likely be that Pocket 6K... and may even buy that newly announced Edelkrone JibONE, which would be pretty boss to use with a Pocket 6K.

Still nonetheless I have the money for a 7" 12G VA. Just want to hold out for till I'm certain it's worth it.

I'm finding it quite buggy at the moment, I did ask support about a couple of things, but that was 4 days ago and no responce.

I have just seen a video on the Nikon z6 shooting raw to an atomos through HDMI.

I do hope BM can spend the time making this work with many cameras as I for one would change my Nikon camera to the Z6 for this reason.
I'm feeling Slight regret at the moment.

First, your Pocket 4K Camera only outputs a 1080p signal (output is meant for a monitor), not UHD or 4K, so the Video Assist is only able to record or display the input resolution. The Nikon Z6;is in the process of being updated to allow a “Raw” video signal to work (so far) only with a Atomos Ninja V. The Z6 can output its video signal up to UHD for external recording, as it does not record ProRes internally, like the Pocket 4/6K can do.

As with all Video Assists and any other external recorder, you can only record the quality and resolution level the camera is capable of outputting, so you are not going to get a 4K recording option when your Camera can only output 1080p (at frame rate Camera is set to). You would need a up/down cross converter to do this, which the VA does not do. Their are some monitors that Will upscale a HD signal to UHD or 4K, but the VA is not one that can do this.

Thanks Denny

It did notice that within the hour of playing with it. the pocket was just a test vehicle really.
It's more the point that we start seeing updates coming out for other cameras to record braw that are capable of sending out the signal.
