Introduction
Description
The CEI Color Six is a digitally-controlled, self-contained
video assist camera that can be adapted for use with most
popular film cameras. In most instances, the available
dedicated optical components will reduce the size and
overall cost of the system while providing excellent optical
performance.
The video image is developed on a CCD (charge-coupled
device) that provides high light sensitivity and low noise
levels. Picture size, centering and rotation are mechanically
adjustable: all other important aspects of the video image
may (at the operator’s discretion) be adjusted either auto-
matically or manually using a few controls on the exterior of
the camera.
Features
The advanced design of the Color Six includes a number of
features not found on other dedicated systems:
• A backlit LCD monitor
• Film footage counter
• SMPTE time code display
• Integral, infinitely adjustable frame lines with storage for 8
user-defined presets
• On-screen help messages
• On-screen battery voltage monitor
