Blackmagic designs has announced a variety of professional `scopes` will be added to its Video Assist 4K monitor/recorder. In the meantime, the company has also added support for ten extra languages.
Firmware v2.5, due in June, will add waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope and histogram options to the device. These can either be displayed on a black background, overlaid on top of the video feed or shown as picture-in-picture frames.
Waveform, RGB parade and vectorscope are tools used by video professionals for quickly assessing exposure and color. These are powerful tools, each of which gives a different way of understanding the brightness and color makeup of the footage, to help set up and monitor your video as you capture it.
`Scopes` being added to the Video Assist 4K include this RGB parade, showing the spacial distribution of per-channel brightness values within the scene, helping with exposure and color balance.
We were recently impressed when the Panasonic DC-GH5 became the first camera we`ve reviewed to provide in-camera scopes, but the addition of these functions to the Video Assist mean that they`re now accessible to anyone shooting with a camera offering HDMI output.
Update v2.4, available today, adds support for ten additional languages, meaning the device can now be operated in: Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
The latest firmware can be downloaded from the Blackmagic Designs website.
