10.1 General Description of the IVS

The Integrated Video-Assist System (IVS) for the ARRIFLEX 235 brings the highly praised video assist systems from the ARRIFLEX 435 and ARRICAM to the ARRIFLEX 235. It

reassembles the IVS 435 control structure and of courseiris offers the same unsurpassed image quality combined with

a state-of-the-art inserter to add frame lines, camera status and text to the video image.

Main Features

•Integrated into the camera body

Instead of a bulky add on, the video assist is an integrated part of 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 provide an excellent color video image in editing quality even when the light is set for high-speed film stock to be pushed during processing.

•High resolution

The design of the new IVS optics was based on the ARRIFLEX 235 viewfinder data and resulted 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 to maximum speed (in manual gain control mode) 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.
