Video-Assist-System

Full white balance control

In addition to the standard indoor white balance setting witch 3200 K, an outdoor setting with 5600 K and an automatic adjustment, red and blue channel can be fine tuned for manual white balance

Line Interpolation

Even further resolution in camera run mode because of line interpolation, thus the image appears almost in field resolution.

Store and recall settings

All settings can be stored and recalled. By this, it is possible for example to trim all the settings for indoor shooting, store them, have some exterior scenes, go back indoor and call the old settings back.

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.

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.

System display

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

Integrated text inserter

Additional text like take numbers or 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 artifacts, with or without data inserted into the video image. The output is on two BNC sockets.

On-Screen programming

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