3.2.1 Optic Silent

For a complete and working IVS, either the optic silent or the optic academy has to be installed inside the CCD optic module. These are easily interchangeable.

The optic silent forms an image on the CCD chip which is based on the 35 mm silent format with a picture width of 24 mm. To check for important objects outside the image recorded on film there is an additional area around the format markings.

The lenses are especially designed and built for use with the ARRIFLEX 535B to achieve the best image quality possible. The aperture of 1:1.4 is particularly important for use as video assist lenses: only a small portion of the light that passes through the camera lens goes to the video chip. The lenses are not designed as zoom lenses because it would be impossible to get the same image quality and speed.

All silent optics are marked with an S in the serial number, e.g. S0040.

There is no difference between lenses for PAL and NTSC.
