• 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
Super 16, a 1.5 mm Allen key for image
adjustment and a Y/C (S VHS) cable.
