Camera status display

Camera status information, e.g. camera speed and film counter data are passed on a bus interface from the camera to the video assist and can be displayed in a camera status line on the monitor.

Lens Data Information

Lens information, such as lens type, focal distance, depth of field, iris and focal length can be electronically inserted in the video image if they are available, e.g. from a lens data archive.

System display

Camera system information is available in the video assist. Thus, it is possible to see camera warnings such as low battery on the monitor.

Integrated text inserter

Additional text such as take numbers or the production name can be added to the video image by entering the text on the IVS.

Y/C Outputs

The usual composite outputs can be switched to an Y/C output (S VHS) for an even better video image without annoying color artefacts, with or without data inserted into the video image. The Y/C output uses two BNC sockets.

On-Screen programming

All functions, which do not directly affect the image appearance, such as frame lines, can be conveniently programmed with an on-screen programming menu on the video monitor.

Dedicated controls

Important image changes, such as gain or white balance, can be performed in parallel to the on-screen programming with dedicated keys.

Image compare function

It is possible to store a chosen image and compare it against the live input. This clearly shows the difference between the images, e.g. during stop effect shots.

Automatic and manual gain control

The gain is controlled automatically to its best value but can also be set manually.

Note:

The IVS package already includes a lens for
