They can be easily exchanged. For a complete and working IVS, either the optic silent or the optic acacemy has to be installed inside the CCD optic module. They can be easily exchanged. The optic silent forms an image on the CCD chip which is based on the 35 mm silent format with a picture width of 24 mm.
3.2.4 Inserter / Antiflicker Module The CCD optic module, which is mounted on the ARRIFLEX 435 view finder system has to be equipped with a video lens. This module contains the CCD-chip and all the necessary elements to center the video image on the TV-Monitor screen and to adjust the focus. It houses also a video pre-amplifier to increase the sensitivity of the IVS at low light conditions. The Inserter/Antiflicker module contains most of the IVS electronics.
Setup 4. Setup 4.1 Inserting the Optic cap • For a complete and working IVS, either the optic silent or the optic academy has to be installed inside the CCD optic module. A 1.5 mm allen key is used. Do not touch optic surfaces. All lenses must be clean. Do not use force.

Setup 4.4 Connections 4.4.1 Outputs In case that the composite output should be used and it is unknown, weather the BNC connectors on the IVS are switched to composite or to Y/C, please connect the composite signal to the ”OUT 1” output first and check the setting (BNC Y/C or composite) in the menu first. Please see chapter 6.4.9 ”Composite or Y/C signal at BNC Connectors” The IVS has two separate outputs for composite video, two outputs for Y/C and one output for a mini monitor.
Setup 4.4.1.1 Composite Video Outputs Make sure that Y/C mode is switched off to get composite video signal out of the BNC connectors. See chapter 6.4.9 ”Composite or Y/C signal at BNC Connectors” The difference between the outputs is that there is ”normal video” on one connector and ‘video with data’ on the other. In the ”normal video” output, which is marked with the ”OUT 2” symbol §, almost no electronic information is inserted.
Spring • Y/C Output • In comparison to the composite outputs, the Y/C outputs offer the even better S-VHS quality. There are also ”normal video” and ”video with data” signals available. Y/C on the BNC connectors is only available when BNC Y/C is selected on the menu. Please see chapter 6.4.9 ”Composite or Y/C signal at BNC Connectors”. Setup 4.4.1.2 Y/C Outputs To change from ”normal video” to ”video with data” and vice versa, please see chapter 6.4.
Setup Alternatively, the Y/C signal can be taken from the two BNC outputs on the rear side of the IVS. For this, it is necessary to switch the BNC output from composite to Y/C, using the menu. Please see chapter 6.4.9 ”Composite or Y/C signal at BNC Connectors”. Use the 3-way cable, with was delivered with the IVS. Connect the red BNC connector to ”OUT 2” and the white connector to ”OUT 1”. • BNC connectors 24 Note: For a standard black and white signal, use only the Y Signal.
Setup 4.4.1.3 Mini-Monitor Output The IVS has a connector for a standard mini-monitor §. As there is only one mini monitor connector, it is possible to switch between ”Normal Video” and ”Video with Data” on this output: To do so, please use the on-screen display menu. Please see chapter 6.4.7 ”Mini-Monitor Output as ”normal video” or ”video with data”.” Composite Video Pin 3 Pin 2 Signal Shield + 12 V (1.1 A max.
Setup 4.4.2 Inputs It is possible to synchronize the IVS to an external video source. Furthermore, the IVS can be remote controlled by a computer. 4.4.2.1 Genlock The genlock input § allows the IVS to be synchronized to an external video source. This is necessary if several video cameras are used together. Input is a standard composite video signal. 4.4.2.
The IVS can be used like a standard Video Assist if no inserter functions are used. Note: Note: For exchanging the optic between academy and silent format, refer to chapter ”4.3 Changing the Optic”. All currently used settings are stored even if the IVS or the camera is switched off. After restarting the IVS the settings are unchanged. 5.1 On/Off and Locking the Keyboard The IVS can be switched on and off independently of the film camera. • Switch Standard Video Controls 5.
Standard Video Controls 28 5.2 Mechanical Iris • Adjustment ring Only a relatively small portion of the light which goes through the film cameras´s lens reaches the CCD-Chip of the video assist as the light is shared between the view finder, the CCD-Chip and the film. Therefore the IVS lenses are designed for a normal usage with a totally open iris to have maximum light on the CCD-Chip. Variations in lighting are compensated by the IVS´s gain control (automatically or manually).
The position of the image on the CCD-Chip can vary slightly from film camera to film camera. The video image on the monitor may appear not centered. In addition to that, it is necessary to focus the lens on every new film camera. • cap All settings can be made by using a 1,5 mm allen key. Do not use force. Both adjustments can be done on the CCD optic module. Remove the cap, which is located at the end of the module § by twisting it counter clockwise to get access to alignment screws.

Very often the camera is set to run at a different speed than the video system. In areas with NTSC video system for example, the film camera would run at 24 fps whereas the video system works with 30 full video frames per second.
The frame count is only active if time code is actually recorded on film. In all other cases a ”**” § symbol will appear for the frame count. Time code is only recorded on film at standard speeds. These are 23.976 fps, 24 fps, 25 fps, 29.97 fps and 30 fps. At all other speeds, time code is displayed on the video assist without the frame count and it is not recorded on film.
