General Description

•Integrated time code inserter:

It is possible to insert time code into the video image. Thus, the video assist creates a reliable link to video editing. The information on “3:2” pull-down, which can be inserted as well, ensures the same reliability in an NTSC environment.

•Integrated text inserter:

Additional text like take numbers or production names can be added to the video image by sending characters via a serial interface.

•Additional Y/C Outputs:

In addition to the usual composite output, the IVS offers a Y/C output (S-VHS) for an even better video image without annoying color artifacts, with or without data inserted into the video image.

•On-Screen programming:

All functions which do not effect the image appearance directly, such as gain control, can be conveniently pro- grammed with an onscreen menu on the video monitor.

•Image compare function:

It is possible to store a particular image and compare it against other images. 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.

•External synchronization input (Genlock):

The IVS has an external synchronization input to enable multiple camera use.

•Indoor/Outdoor and automatic white balance: White balance can be set to indoor with 3200 K, outdoor with 5600 K and automatic adjustment.

•Mini monitor connector:

The IVS offers a connector for a 12 V LCD mini monitor.

Note:

If neither time code is used nor data is sent via

 

the serial interface, it is possible to work without

 

the data cable ZV4.

Note:

As the IVS is designed for an 80 : 20 beam splitter,

 

there is no need for the 50 : 50 beam splitter,

 

which is used for other color video assists.
