  • Page 6: Important Notes

    Important Notes • In wet weather safety precautions for handling electrical equipment should be taken. • Avoid operational errors! • Do not touch optical surfaces! • Clean optical surfaces only with a lens brush or a clean lens cloth! In cases of solid dirt moisten a lens cloth with pure alcohol.

  • Page 7: General Description Of The Ivs

    • High resolution: The design of the new IVS optics was based on the 535B’s viewfinder data and resulted in an image quality which can not be attained by add-on solutions. • Flicker-free: An integrated digital frame store enables the video camera to be synchronized to the film camera’s mirror...
  • Page 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.

  • Page 9: System Components

    The lenses are especially designed and built for use with the ARRIFLEX 535B to achieve the best image quality possible. The aperture of 1:1.4 is particularly important for use as video assist lenses: only a small portion of the light that passes through the camera lens goes to the video chip.

    The lenses are especially designed and built for the use with the ARRIFLEX 535B to achieve the best image quality possible. The aperture of 1:1.4 is particularly important for use as video assist lenses: only a small portion of the light passes goes through the camera lens goes to the video chip.
  • Page 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.

  • Page 13: Setup

    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.
  • Page 14 optic • 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.

  • Page 15: Mounting The Ivs On The Camera

    Ensure clean contacts. The CCD optic module is mounted on the viewfinder of the ARRIFLEX 535B, the inserter/antiflicker module is placed on top of the electronic cover. • Be sure to use a 80 : 20 beam splitter instead an 50 : 50 beam splitter.
  • Page 16 release-key 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.
  • Page 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.

  • Page 23: Changing The Optic

    4.2.5 Changing the Optic The following tools are needed to change the optic: – 1.2 x 8 mm screwdriver or a coin – 1.5 mm allen key Disconnect camera from all power supplies. Support the viewfinder system. Do not touch optical surfaces. All lenses must be clean.
  • Page 24 • Make sure that the focus screw (S3) alignment screws (S1, S2 and S4) middle of their range. • Place the cover back on the CCD optic module. • Take the video lens out of the CCD optic module by turning the front ring of the lens counter-clockwise until loose and pull the lens forwards to remove.
  • Page 25 • Insert the CCD optic module into the video tap of the film camera with the lens first. Make sure the connector is pointing to the left side. Push the CCD optic module into the camera as far as it will go. Twist the module a little left and right until the key of the lens gear finds its path and insert the module further into the camera.

  • Page 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 §.

  • Page 30: Remote Control

    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 CCU interface. As corresponding software the ARRI Laptop Camera Controller is available on request (refer to separate manual).

  • Page 31: Standard Video Controls

    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.

  • Page 32: Mechanical Iris

    5.2 Mechanical Iris Only a relatively small portion of the light which passes mechanical iris 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.

  • Page 33: Aligning The Image And Focusing

    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.
  • Page 34 • Screw S1 moves the video image on the monitor horizontally. Screw S2 rotates the image around a point which is located in the middle of the left side, and screw S4 rotates the image around a point which is located in the middle of the right side. Screw S3 will focus the lens.

  • Page 35: White Balance (Wb)

    5.4 White Balance (WB) The IVS offers a choice for white balance between an automatic control (ATW) or a fixed setting for indoor ( ) or outdoor ( ). If automatic white balance (ATW) is selected §, the IVS will automatically set white balance. For this no white card reading is necessary.

    5.6 Frame Store and Compare The IVS can store one video image and compare it against the currently incoming images. Note: There is no image stored when the IVS is switched on. A random image pattern is displayed when the frame store is activated for the first time. After pressing the key S a real image is stored and displayed.

  • Page 39: Flicker Free On/Off

    5.8 Flicker free on/off The IVS suppresses the flickering of the video image, which normally occurs when the film camera and the video camera are running at different frame rates or if they are not in phase. The time code information is not valid if flicker reduction is switched off.

  • Page 41: Inserter Facilities

    6 Inserter Facilities In addition to the usual video assist functions, the IVS offers a variety of inserter facilities. There are three different groups of information: • Format markings Format markings, which are inserted electronically, are often more visible than format markings on the ground glass or on the ARRIGLOW.
