Video-Asssist-System

Main Features

Integrated into the camera body

Instead of a bulky add-on, the video assist is integrated into the camera without additional cabling.

High sensitivity

A high-speed lens with an aperture of 1 : 2.0 and one of the most sensitive CCD Chips available on the market combine to provide an excellent color video image in editing quality even when the lighting is set for high- speed film stock that will be pushed during processing.

High resolution

The design of the new IVS optics was based around the ARRIFLEX 416 viewfinder and results in an image quality which cannot be attained by add-on solutions.

Flicker free

An integrated digital frame store enables the video camera to be synchronized to the film camera‘s mirror shutter and provides a flicker free video image from 1 fps (in manual gain control mode) up to maximum speed because the video image is always taken at the ideal position of the mirror shutter. Flicker free can be switched off to bypass the digital frame store and to have minimal delay in the video system.

Full white balance control

In addition to the standard indoor white balance setting of 3200 K, an outdoor setting of 5600 K and an automatic adjustment, the red and blue channels can be fine tuned for manual white balance. The 416 IVS also includes a one push white key.

Line Interpolation

Resolution is improved in camera “RUN“ mode by using line interpolation. This results in an image approaching field resolution.

Store and recall settings

All settings can be stored and recalled. This allows you to adjust all the settings for indoor shooting, store them, shoot some exterior scenes, then go back indoors and recall the previous settings.

Up to 6 settings can be stored.

Integrated frame line inserter

Frame lines can be electronically added to the video image. This ensures that the lines are visible even in difficult conditions. The area outside the frame lines can be darkened electronically in 4 different steps to emphasize the important image area.
