HDMI Recorders

Blackmagic Design Video Assist 4K and Atomos Nijna Blade HDMI recorder overview. These devices record the output of a camera or computer via HDMI, and are heavily used in the production of ExplainingComputers content. So, as many of you ask have asked how I record a computer on this channel, I thought I’d make a video about them, as well as various other HDMI accessories that I regularly use.
