• Integrated time code inserter:
It is possible to insert time code into the video image.
Thus, the video assist creates a reliable link to video
editing. The information on “3:2” pull-down, which
can be inserted as well, ensures the same reliability in
an NTSC environment.
• Integrated text inserter:
Additional text like take numbers or production names
can be added to the video image by sending characters
via a serial interface.
• Additional Y/C Outputs:
In addition to the usual composite output, the IVS
offers a Y/C output (S-VHS) for an even better video
image without annoying color artifacts, with or without
data inserted into the video image.
• On-Screen programming:
All functions which do not effect the image appearance
directly, such as gain control, can be conveniently pro-
grammed with an onscreen menu on the video monitor.
• Image compare function:
It is possible to store a particular image and compare
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 multiple camera use.
• Indoor/Outdoor and automatic white balance:
White balance can be set to indoor with 3200 K,
outdoor with 5600 K and automatic adjustment.
• Mini monitor connector:
The IVS offers a connector for a 12 V LCD mini monitor.
Note: If neither time code is used nor data is sent via
the serial interface, it is possible to work without
the data cable ZV4.
Note: 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.
