Settings
Below is a list of the different indicators that may appear in the card status. The status
indicators are:
Loading
When inserting an SD card, the indicator will display ‘loading’ to let you know the unit is
verifying your card.
Ready
When a formatted SD card is verified, the status will display ‘ready’ to indicate your card
is ready to record.
Format
If your SD card needs to be initialized, the indicator will flash ‘format’ to prompt you to
format the card. Tap the ‘card’ indicator or swipe the touchscreen left or right to open
the ‘storage’ settings where you can format your card. For more information refer to the
‘about SD cards’ section.
No card
This indicator is displayed when there is no card inserted in the selected SD card slot.
Card full
The ‘card full’ indicator will flash for approximately three minutes prior to stopping
record when an SD card has used its maximum recording space.
When your card is full, the indicator will turn solid red and the recording will stop.
Your video assist will then save the last recorded file.
If you have a formatted card in slot 2 of Blackmagic Video Assist 4K, the unit will
automatically switch over to slot 2 and continue recording to your second card.
Record Time Remaining
While in playback mode, the status indicator will display the record time remaining
for your SD card.
Battery Level Remaining
Displays the amount of power remaining in your batteries. Tap the battery icon to open a larger
display with more precise information about your battery levels.
During operation, your video assist will use the battery with the lowest charge first, then swap
over to the other when depleted without interruption. When recharging batteries, both will
charge simultaneously. Batteries will take approximately 3 hours to fully charge when not in use
depending on battery type and conditions.
On Blackmagic Video Assist, two fully charged Canon LP-E6 batteries will supply power for
approximately 180 minutes of record time. Blackmagic Video Assist 4K will run on two fully
charged batteries for approximately 80 minutes of record time.
