Arricam and Arriflex 435 film cameras can now be equipped with the HD-IVS video assist, which provides cinematographers and directors 1920 x 1080 high resolution preview images on the set. As such, the creative team can judge each take while shooting 35mm film.

With its wide dynamic range (three steps more than standard def IVS), excellent color reproduction and low noise —combined with ARRI’s unique GGC (Ground Glass Cancellation) technology— the HD-IVS provides an excellent image for review. Additionally, individual HD images can be captured onto a USB stick, and loaded back into the HD-IVS for comparison functions.

The HD-IVS has three HD-SDI outputs, does 4:2:2 color sampling, operates with or without overlay and is switchable, has progressive, progressive segment frame or interlaced output, and can be synchronized with 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30 fps speed.
