7 3 General Description of the IVS The Integrated Video-Assist System (IVS) for the ARRIFLEX 535B ergonomically integrates with a minimum of external cabling a complete video assist system into the camera body. It offers unsurpassed image quality combined with a state-of- the-art inserter to add frame lines, time code, camera status and text into t[...]

8 • 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 [...]

9 3.2 System Components The IVS consists of: • Optic Silent and/or ............................ (K2.47298.0) • Optic Academy ................................. (K2.47301.0) • Video Electronic complete ......... (K2.47306.0 for PAL or K2.47307.0 for NTSC) The complete video electronic consists of four parts: • CCD Optic Module • Inserter/An[...]

10 3.2.2 Optic Academy For a complete and working IVS, either the optic silent or the optic acacemy has to be installed inside the CCD optic module. They are easily interchangeable. The optic academy forms an image on the CCD chip based on the 35mm academy format with a picture width of 22mm. To check for important objects outside the image recorde[...]

11 3.2.4 Inserter/Antiflicker Module The compact inserter/antiflicker module, which is mounted on top of the ARRIFLEX 535B’s electronic cover, holds the video camera electronic, an anti flicker processor and the entire inserter. All electronic control elements, as well as all in- and outputs are located here. The inserter/antiflicker module is av[...]

13 F S1 S4 S2 S3 4 Setup 4.1 Inserting the Optic For a complete and working IVS, either the optic silent or the optic academy must be installed inside the CCD optic module. A 1.5 mm allen key is used. Do not touch optical surfaces. All lenses must be clean. Do not use force. • Turn the protecting cap at the end of the CCD optic module § counter [...]

14 • Insert the video lens with the thread first into the CCD optic module as far as it will go § . • Turn the lens left or right to insert the iris key into its path and push the lens further in. Close the thread clockwise until the lens is secured. The video lens must be properly inserted into the lens mount until the end of the thread. Unco[...]

15 4.2 Mounting the IVS on the camera The following tools are needed to mount the IVS: – 1.2 x 8 mm screwdriver or coin. If the beam splitter is to be changed: – Phillips screwdriver size 0 – Phillips screwdriver size 1 – 1.5 mm allen key – Straight pair of tweezers. Disconnect camera from all power supplies. Do not use force Ensure clean[...]

16 4.2.1 Changing the Beam Splitter Note: This is not necessary if a 80 : 20 beam splitter is already installed. Because of the high speed video optic (Academy or Silent), it is no longer necessary to use a 50:50 beam splitter, as it was with other color video assists. The IVS is designed to work with an 80:20 beam splitter. • Press the release k[...]

17 • Open the connector locks with a pair of tweezers and disconnect the cables § . • Take the viewfinder top off. • Open the 2 screws of the beam splitter § . • Take the beam splitter out of the camera. An adhesive tape on the top side of the beam splitter can be used to take it off. The side, which is marked with R = 80 or R = 50 § can[...]

18 4.2.2 Mounting the CCD Optic Module and the Inserter/Antiflicker Module • Remove protecting cap of the video tap § by turning it counter-clockwise, and store it in case the camera is used without the IVS. • Remove the protecting cap of the CCD optic module § by turning it counter-clockwise. The video lens must be properly inserted into the[...]

Close the attachment screw on the camera handle. • Secure the CCD optic module by closing the screw ring § clockwise. 4.2.3 Cabeling • Connect the RS-cable § between the inserter/anti- flicker module and t[...]

20 4.2.4 Basic Alignment of the Video Output If the video image can not be centered on the video monitor vertically, as de s cr i bed in chapter 5.3, it is p o ssible to align the CCD optic module mount. For this, the following tools are needed: – Phillips screw driver size 0 – Phillips screw driver size 1 – 1.5 mm allen key Disconnect camera[...]

21 • Lift the top side of the viewfinder carefully off to get access to the beam splitter and mounting ring assembly. • Open the connector locks with a pair of tweezers and disconnect the cables § . • Take the viewfinder top off. • Place the viewfinder unit back to the camera. • Open the 5 screws of the CCD optic module mount § , but do[...]

22 • Disconnect the RS- and the video cable. • Take the Inserter/Antiflicker module off • Take the CCD optic modul off. • Close screw 1, 2, 4 and 5 on the CCD optic module mount. • Take the viewfinder top off. • Connect the two cables § between the viewfinder top and the base plate again. • Close the 3 mounting screws § . • Close [...]

27 4.2.6 Outputs and Inputs 4.2.6.1 Outputs The IVS has two separate outputs for composite video, one output for Y/C that can be used alternatively, and one output for a mini monitor. Composite Video Outputs Composite video is only available if the C OMPOSITE selector key on the keyboard is ON • Composite video is switched on with the C OMPOSITE [...]

28 Y/C Output In comparison to the composite outputs, the Y/C output offers better S-VHS quality. The signal is available on the same pair of connectors from which the two composite video signals are outputted. To switch between composite and Y/C, use the C OMPOSITE key § on the control panel. Y/C video is only available while the C OMPOSITE key o[...]

29 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. • The output to the mini monitor will be altered at every press of the MM key § . An illuminated LED indicates ”video with data”[...]

30 Remote Control All serial data, e.g. RCU information or remote control for the IVS must be sent into the serial data input of the data cable ZV4, regardless of whether the data is sent to the camera or the IVS. All inserter functions of the IVS which can be called or set with the on screen menu can also be controlled via the ZV4 data cable´s CC[...]

31 5 Standard Video Controls The IVS can be used like a standard video assist if no inserter functions are used. Note: For exchanging the optic between academy and silent format, refer to chapter ”Changing the Optic”, 4.2.5. Note: All currently used settings are stored even if the IVS or the camera is switched off. After restarting the IVS the [...]

32 5.2 Mechanical Iris Only a relatively small portion of the light which passes through the film camera´s lens goes to the CCD chip of the video assist, as the light is shared between the viewfinder, the CCD chip and the film. Therefore the IVS lenses are designed for normal usage with a totally open iris to have maximum light on the CCD chip. Va[...]

33 cover 5.3 Aligning the Image and Focusing 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, it is necessary to focus the lens on every new film camera. All settings can be made by using a 1.5 mm allen key. Do not use force! Both adjust[...]
