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
multi camera use.

• Mini monitor connector

The IVS offers a connector for a 12 V LCD mini
monitor combined with a 1.1 A power supply.

Note:

All ARRIFLEX 435 versions (435, 435 ES and
Advanced) can be equipped with the IVS
independently of the expanded function module

However, the time code functions such as insertion
of time code, user bits, pull-down information,
VITC and white line flags can only be activated
if the expanded function module is installed.

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.
